Good MorningThe S&P 500 retreated on Tuesday, giving up some of Monday's gains to show resistance at a critical level. That level aligns with previous support and the 30-day EMA, an indicator of short-term market sentiment. The 30-day EMA points lower once more, suggesting another market decline that could begin today. Today's catalyst is the FOMC policy statement and outlook it provides; the market is bracing for a semi-hawkish statement in which the FOMC is content to leave its policy unchanged while it waits to see what the upcoming data will reveal.
The keynote speech from NVIDIA CEO Jenson Huang at the long-awaited GTC conference failed to give the market lift. The speech was filled with the promise of AI and next-gen advancements and affirmed the product launch outlook but did nothing to wow the market. Without a wow-quality catalyst to drive it, NVIDIA shares sank more than 3%, confirming resistance well-below the top of the established trading range.
