General Motors Corp (GM) shares rose more than 12%, their biggest one-day advance since May 2005. GM remains well positioned since profiled in April 07 “Swing Trader Bulletin”. As predicted, smart money continues to rotate into tech stocks. Initially profiled on March 12, Google Inc (GOOG) gained more than 32%.

S&P continues basing sideway just beneath resistance. As mentioned, while a majority of short-term indicators favor a break to the upside, the bears still have the benefit of the doubts until we see a sustain breakout above key resistance at the area of November’s low, about 1406. Although, fake-out – a break above 1406 and back below it – is not uncommon in FED days. That being said, chances are we’ll see a few false moves in both directions in a next couple of days. Key support is at the area of 50-day moving average, now at 1345. In summary: it seems to us that the market is in need of a meaningful catalyst to overcome the key resistance levels. Hopefully tomorrow FOMC announcement will do the trick.

昨日指數繼續在水平阻力位下方盤整。正如我們提到的，儘管大量短期指標都支持指數向上突破，但是在指數堅定站上1406點附近的11月低點關鍵阻力之前，空頭依然掌握著主導權。而且，在聯儲公告發佈日，出現“假突破”也是很常見的，也就是說不排除標普突破1406點又跌回下方的可能。總而言之，在未來幾個交易日出現一些“騙線”的漲跌是不足為奇的。關鍵支撐位在50日均線，目前在1345點。 總結：在我們看來，大盤要攻破重大阻力位，需要有重大利好的推動。今天下午聯儲的公告有望成為這樣的催化劑。
