The Fed might not be done raising interest rates just yet – CNN Apr 11

Bowman recently said that she would favor a rate hike “should progress on inflation stall or even reverse.”

Kashkari floated the possibility of not cutting rates at all this year. He also said rate hikes are “certainly not off the table.”

Williams – powell’s “top advisor” – said that here are “definitely circumstances” that would merit raising interest rates such as inflation moving materially higher, but the current trajectory doesn’t fit that, he said.

Circumstances: “the recent increases in inflation had been relatively broad based and therefore should not be discounted as merely statistical aberrations,” according to meeting minutes released Wednesday

“You have to take seriously the possibility that the next rate move will be upwards rather than downwards,” Summers

US500 Daily Chart

As I have mentioned, looking at CFD charts it is hard to give specific levels as feeds can differ between brokers, even with the same symbol. This is why currencies are great to chart as everyone basically uses the same set of prices.

So compare this chart to what you have on your platform. 3 blue lines down are bearish but notice how the trendline and support coincide. This is the key level; on the downside (and the red AT line below it).
