    Bear Market/recession Confirmed By Fed

    I traded thru the pair of surprise rate cuts in Jan and Apr 2001. Both were bonafide fed-fund rate cuts, both ramped price action as one would expect. Both sold off within a day or two which led to considerably lower lows from there. No idea which way the market goes from here. If it holds...
