Projected ES price action for the day:Yesterday's massive buying after the Fed announcement that tapering would begin gave additional credence to the idea of trading based on price action rather than on the news. Logic would indicate that if the government would reduce the financial backing then the markets would sell off.  However, the S&P approached its all-time high of 1812.5 and barely retraced at all after the 2pm announcement yesterday.  Given the bullish activity and prices trading above the value area, the bias is clearly with the buyers, however it would be advisable to watch the price action at the open as there is a likelihood of some profit taking for short term traders.
