Day-Trading Scenarios for Jan 28, 2026

Narrow range awaits the Fed report at 2:00 PM Eastern. Market has been trading between 49110 and 49179 overnight.

• Heavy pressure from healthcare sector names, particularly UnitedHealth Group (UNH) plunging ~19-20% after issuing a profit warning tied to proposed changes in Medicare Advantage reimbursements and weaker-than-expected 2026 revenue guidance.

• Other drags from CVS Health (down sharply) and Boeing (down ~1.6% on underwhelming results).

The best thing to do is take a couple of decent trades and be done by 11:00 AM Eastern. Then trade 3 minutes after the Fed news.

Early support is 49090 then 48943. Resistance is 49179, then 49265.
