Market Recap For May 4th, 2022

The rally that started at the Monday low continued in a big way on Wednesday, as markets reacted favorably to the FOMC statement.

The Dow, S&P and Nasdaq all made ended firmly higher, and at key resistance points. Moves above those points will mean the rally is carrying onward.
