Good MorningEquity markets retreated on Wednesday after remarks from Fed Chief Jerome Powell failed to soothe the market. Mr. Powell says the committee may only hike rates one more time this year but also that inflation is yet to be tamed, and the committee is ready to hike rates again if needed. In addition, Mr. Powell seemed supportive of the financial system but failed to give explicit details of how the system could be backstopped.
The S&P 500 fell more than 1.6% at the end of the day, confirming the latest stock downtrend. The move confirms resistance at the 4,000 level and the 3rd lower consecutive peak since the bear market rally began. This could signify lower lows, but support may be present at 3,800. The only thing certain now is uncertainty, which will not be good for the market. In this light, 3,800 may only be a stopping point on the move to retest last year's lows.

His strategy targets what he calls Flashpoints - moments when market makers must move billions of dollars on the S-P 500 in a narrow window. Research shows one recent signal would have returned 83.7% in 36 minutes and another 62.8% in 51 minutes.
