Trading FED Day.
In this video, we talk about the FED meeting, and the unexpected reaction the market gave us.

With the FOMC being dovish enough to prevent a equities sell-off, where are the bullish and bearish pockets of the market now?
The stock market seemed to get just enough of what it needed to hear. Russell and Dow are still shortable broader averages. I would not play that game of chicken with the NASDAQ and S&P. We need to be choosy. We need to cherry pick, and that means more than ever, we focus on the relative outperformers. By the way, copper and crude were not impressed with the FOMC…
With the most uncertain FOMC decision in many meetings, a 50/50 probability for a rate cut from the FOMC, and a big post-earnings sell-off in FedEx after the close, what does this mean for the broader averages?
It’s a dramatic turn of sentiment, as traders are at peak uncertainty about what J. Powell and Co. will decide with rate. To cut or not To cut. In the meanwhile, this does little to change my bias in the markets and I discuss the broader averages, gold, energies, currencies, and more in this update.
Witching expirations only come around 4 times a year, and certain kinds of trades tend to work better in that environment. Let’s look at two I’m trading into Friday.
The rate cut is anything but certain heading into tomorrow. I’d like to short stock indexes into next week, but ideally after making these upside targets.
