Major averages rose on higher volume with the NASDAQ Composite closing above its 50dma though other major averages are still under their respective 50dmas.

The two-day Federal Reserve meeting concludes today with a statement due out at 2 p.m. EST. The odds of a rate hike in September are lower due to market turmoil in China and a continuing slide in commodity prices including oil. The Commodity Research Bureau Index is at 6-year lows, and is very close to breaking to 13-year lows. Thus, the dovish Fed's hands are tied in terms of hiking rates seeing that weak demand is indicative of a recessionary global economy.

Meanwhile, we had a number of new pocket pivots hit our radar. This does not mean to buy blindly since the market may not have yet found a floor. That said, the best stocks will often start to rise ahead of the pack, so keep a close watch and position size in line with your risk tolerance levels.
