China’s decision to devalue the yuan overnight had both European markets and the three major US indices trading lower from the start Tuesday. ES gave back more than two-thirds of Monday’s gain on the closing.
External events and news are driving the price. Today we have the president of the New York Fed, William Dudley, speaking at 8:30 a.m., before the day session opens. The market is hyper-sensitive to anything anyone from the Fed says (or doesn’t say) and we may get an early hint at the day’s direction.

Today ES could remain inside the triangle pattern on the daily chart, whipsawing back and forth around the 20/40ema lines until it finally breaks in one direction or the other. The 2100-04.50 area will be the resistance line for the triangle pattern, and 2062-59 will be the support. As long as ES stays inside the triangle, a small run up today and a small run down tomorrow would not be a surprise.
