Once Powell gets to 5.0% / 5.5%, I think that's where the rubber meets the road. I say he can't move higher, or for more than 3 months, then has to cut. He's gotta be +1% over inflation to stop it. I don't think that happens. Powell can't get the rate to 7% or 8% Gov't and Fed needs to let energy markets run....it' will slow the economy on its own. JMO.

Everything consolidates after a big move. The question is pullback or sideways? KOLD went from 14.20's to 15.19.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Based on the movement I've seen in the past week, I wouldn't touch KOLD with a ten foot pole.
Much more runup is going to push the 20 SMA over the 200 SMA. I doubt this will happen. We've got interest rates higher than the last 15 years and going higher. I am frankly shocked they had the guts to go this far. Everybody seems to also be forgetting about the "balance sheet unwinding" Powell is also doing. The market has to puke (or something has to break) before I'm jumping back in.

Quote:
Bahamian authorities have arrested Sam Bankman-Fried after U.S. law enforcement filed charges against the former crypto billionaire.
Bahamas Attorney General Ryan Pinder said that the United States had filed unspecified criminal charges against Bankman-Fried and was "likely to request his extradition."
In a statement, Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis said "The Bahamas and the United States have a shared interest in holding accountable all individuals associated with FTX who may have betrayed the public trust and broken the law. While the United States is pursuing criminal charges against SBF individually, The Bahamas will continue its own regulatory and criminal investigations into the collapse of FTX, with the continued cooperation of its law enforcement and regulatory partners in the United States and elsewhere."
Bankman-Fried was expected to testify before the House Financial Services Committee tomorrow. His arrest is the first concrete move by regulators to hold individuals accountable for the multi-billion dollar implosion of FTX last month.

If SBF maintains plausible deniability and avoids Madoff type criminal convictions, then those who took donations from him likely get to keep it. If they prove he stole money, then the feds can go after recipients.
My guess is in the end this goes down as wreckless risk management, where user funds were consumed in a massive margin call when his crypto portfolio and shytcoin both collapsed. Powerful stakeholders have a vested interest in this playing out like Lehman or Enron, not Madoff.

He's been giving interviews against the advice of his lawyers and digging deeper. His ex-gf and top "executives" of FTX have been silent and it's suspected that they're cooperating with the feds. IMHO, SBF will be Epsteined before he receives a slap on the wrist, but we'll see.BlueTaze said:

If CPI is expected to be lower, but that is purely due to energy prices that were artificially low due to Biden SPR and China COVID political decisions does the Fed bite? If food and others continue to increase I'm not sure we're going to get a lot of dovish comments or rate decisions, since I think they truly want to defeat inflation not just play games with numbers driven by political decisions. We'll see I guess.
This is a big front run.

Fade the first move?
Just my two cents. Many people will be long biased now and will jump in with FOMO.
This was the event everyone had been waiting for.
Don't forget first move is often a trap. I only see that talked about on pukes.

I don't trade indexes when this happens. It's a huge move, premiums will be collapsing and you don't know where it goes next.
