The weekly chart remains neutral as price continues to trade sideways, but still above the Ichimoku cloud. The triangle pattern that has been formed will soon provide a breakout or breakdown so traders should wait for that signal to trade. Until then traders should be very cautious as we have very important news from the Fed this week.
