Stocks edged higher on re-opening optimism and the US$ was a tad higher but most instruments were little changed. I often find the markets to be quiet /choppy in the days just prior to FOMC so keep this in mind.

Earnings:

DXY: stuck in the 4hr Cloud.

DXY daily: a bit higher on the day:

DXY 4hr: watch for any new Cloud breakout:

Markets:

S&P500 4hr: a new High:

ASX-200 4hr: watch 6,800:

Gold 4hr: not doing too much:

EUR/USD 4hr: revised TL as momentum low / declining:

AUD/USD 4hr: ditto:
