S&P 500 Index (^SPX) support is at 6,825 and 6,800. Resistance is 6,850 and 6,900. The FOMC meeting is the last thing preventing traders from packing it up for the year, and our models show about three vol points associated with this event.

OPTIONS

Ultimately, we view any dip trade as an intraday swing until/unless SPX moves back above 6,900, writes Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma.
