Hope everyone is doing well and keeping up with what is happening in the market right now because things are moving fast.
First thing I did this morning was pull up the latest news and the first headline stopped me cold. The Fed just scheduled an $8.071 billion injection into the market at 9AM ET, right before the US open. That is not a small number and the timing is not a coincidence.

They are watching the same thing we are watching. The war between Israel and Iran is pushing oil in a direction that is hard to ignore right now. We are looking at crude potentially hitting $115 and that kind of move does not happen without the Fed paying attention behind the scenes.
When the Fed injects that kind of liquidity right before open it usually means they are trying to absorb pressure before it spills into equities. Something is being managed here.
And for traders like me, and with the experience that i have had, if something like that happens, pull back for Brent and WTI crude oil is possible, in my own view, short traders on Bitgetstock futures will soon get good set up to enter.
Stay alert if you are a long trader as anything can happen. DYOR also
