SPX Coils at Key Level Ahead of Next Major Move

Failed Breakdowns and FOMC Volatility Shape Trading Action

Market Summary The S&P 500 experienced significant volatility this week, starting with a 170-point "elevator down" decline before staging a powerful recovery through Failed Breakdown patterns. After testing the crucial 5997 level, the index rebounded strongly, reaching 6109 before encountering FOMC-driven chop around the key 6066-70 zone.

Today's FOMC session displayed characteristic trap behavior, with multiple flushes and recoveries around 6066-70, ultimately closing above this pivotal level. The market's ability to defend this zone through high-volatility price action suggests potential energy building for the next directional move.
