Also leaving a Bearish engulfing pattern on the weekly chart. It seems that the market is treating those levels with some respect.

....and as at today this reasonably tight trading range (4600 - 4750) is STILL in play. The 4600 level especially is still being respected by the market, with the market bouncing off it today, yet again - making an intraday low.

FED talk tomorrow could be direction setting??

Or wait until the cycle turns down, investment assets drop in price and interest rates are brought down then load up on debt? Otherwise you could find yourself climbing uphill into a headwind with a heavy load.
