With a 3/4 point rate hike priced in, what are the trends, expectations, and setups as the market awaits a big decision from the FOMC.
Will they or won’t they hike 3/4 of a point? And what will the reaction be? Trading through summer is still going to be subjected to wild swings, and there are ways we can handle it, I explain all that and more in this update.
There is a lot to cover so let’s get started.
Today, the indexes made new lows on the year, the 10-year made new highs, and bitcoin fell almost 20%. But, you know what else made new highs? The put/call ratio is at levels not seen since March of 2020. That means a massive short squeeze is brewing.
The S&P officially closed in bear market territory, but let’s be real, it’s been trading in a bear market fashion all year, it’s just now official. Assets got whacked across the board, including energy, crypto, and gold, in a total asset devaluation. As of now, the next major catalyst on the docket is the Fed meeting on Wednesday. Will it set off a short squeeze, or finally send us into capitulation?
This week will no doubt prove entertaining and likely quite volatile. Events are the VIX Expiration and FOMC rate decision set for Wednesday as well as EOQ Triple Witching two days later on Friday.
After a day like today, one wonders where is the safe space? Or is there a safe place to hide? There were not many and it certainly is not in Crypto. In tonight’s video I will walk through what I do see and am planning for, given the anticipated volatility later this week.
