US OPEN: Wall Street rebounds on hopes the Fed will slow rate hikes

• US indices launched today's cash trading higher
• Hopes that the Fed will eventually slow down rate hikes support bullish sentiment
• Twitter (TWTR.US) stock falls on US review report
• Snap (SNAP.US) revenue forecast puts pressure on whole add sector

US stock futures erased most of the early losses after WSJ reported that Fed officials are likely to debate how to signal plans to approve a smaller 50 bp rate hike increase in December. This headline improved market sentiment. Earlier, Snap crashed almost 30% triggering a selloff in the tech sector.

Despite the negative sentiment in the tech sector US100 manages to defend major support at 11000 pts, which is marked with previous price reactions and lower limit of the 1:1 structure. Should break lower occur, the next target for sellers can be found around 10460 pts, which is marked with 61.8% Fibonacci treatment of the upward wave launched in March 2020. However if market sentiment shifts, then another upward impulse towards resistance at 12000 pts may be launched. Source: xStation5
