    In this case, the primary move was up in the intraday time frame post-fed. However, there was an overhead R2 pivot and the 50% SPX retracement which were the targets for that intraday move. As longer time frame MAs/trends were exhausting/exhausted, they eventually exerted a greater influence and we rolled over.
