Fed Chair Yellen Speaks at 12pm tomorrow. Usually on such days there is no direction in the market in the morning and fairly unpredictable volatility during the speech. Therefore we refrain from trading on these days.

The upcoming speech is probably the reason for the lack of direction in the market today and yesterday.
