At the end of the month, the Fed is raising rates once again. I don't think the market will like what the Fed minutes say, but i've been wrong before. I was wondering what ET thought.

===============

Exactly EqtTrader, giraffe, 100% up room to go;
not a prediction however,
and actually my statement of probabilities does apply to next 20 days.:cool:

NasdaQQQ, NQ looks notably weaker;
& has trouble staying above its 50dma for long.
 
Rates are expected to rise , so that would likely be partly priced in, oil hasn't decreased as much as some say it should've,housing is slowing somewhat- the market still goes up.

On the flip side there a lot of mergers and buyouts, I.P.O s - that sort of activity is causing at least some positive market moves.

Autos aren't doing as good recently and are planning job cuts but AT&T has grown and are also planning 10 000 job cuts- grow or shrink i think good paying jobs will be tougher to find.

Personally I think manufacturing will have supplied the market pretty soon- I think the number for consumer debt is at 2.18 trillion-
a little bearish here temporarily, but every house has its troubles now and then

I don't know about 100%, but the preponderance of bearish sentiment leads me to feel the market will churn higher into the Fed decision.

More wall of worry to climb.
 
Actually 100% room is downwards, upwards the sky's the limit ...

One thought: usually the Nadaq leads the market, and the Semis lead the Nasdaq. If these were to confirm now, direction isn't up.

The pre-earnings season is around the corner, and this will probably shape the market.

As always, don't neglect your risk management!
