Recap
Yesterday's CPI report led to a 40-point upside squeeze after an initial flush. The first move was a trap, followed by a flush down to 4380 support, recovery, and then a squeeze up. Since June 1st, ES has been in a "buy all dips phase" with a 140-point increase. However, FOMC day is today, which may bring more complexity and difficulty for traders.

Watch for false breakdowns/breakouts:
4440, 4458 next up as long as 4408 keeps holding. 4385=post FOMC sell trigger
If ES can base above 4408, target 4429, 4438, and ultimately 4458
If 4385 fails, consider short at 4382 for a sell to 4366
Wrap Up
FOMC day is today, which may bring more complexity and difficulty for traders. Focus on false breakdowns/breakouts, and watch the key structures and support and resistance levels for potential moves. Be prepared for unpredictable action after the FOMC meeting and adjust trading strategies accordingly.
