NASDAQ Technical Picture - NR, Low Volume Fed Session

It was a narrow range quiet session leading into the FOMC policy statement at 2:15. The statement itself failed to provide direction and we just chopped around afterwards. At the end of the session we are left with a doji (indecision) with a long upper shadow (bearish).

RIMM came through with a very bullish earnings report and the stock tagged $194.00 in AH trade.
