quick fundamental breakdown because this matters more than any chart right now

august's rally from 63k to 81k wasn't organic

it was triggered by the treasury's august 19 bond buyback announcement roughly 80% of that month's etf inflows landed in the two weeks right after that single news item

since then the backdrop flipped

oil back above 95 a barrel after renewed us iran strikes near the strait of hormuz

pce inflation running at 3.7% annually 4.1% over six months both well above the fed's 2% target

fed hike odds for the september 16 meeting jumped from 37% to 70% in about a week

barclays now expects two hikes before year end bnp paribas is calling for three starting december reversing every cut made in 2025

etf flows are already reacting nine straight days of inflows just turned into a 236 million dollar single day outflow

my honest read

the buyback bought a real rally not a fixed inflation problem

hike on the 16th that's genuine pressure higher rates compete directly with holding a non yielding asset

hold despite the pressure that's actually more bullish than people think

either way september 16 matters more than any level on any chart right now
