12-19-24 The Fed is Never Right

The Federal Reserve cut rates 25-bp, as expected, but the language was more hawkish than anticipated, and the Fed's "Dot Plot" of anticipated rate cuts for 2025 suggested fewer incidents of rate trimming next year. That took a bit of juice out of the punch bowl and spooked the markets. But remember, the Fed is never right about anything, and these predictions are the worst on anything they do. Lance reviews the ingredients comprising a correction: Extremely suppressed volatility, narrow market breadth, and declining momentum. On Wednesday, following the Fed announcement, markets sold off to the tune of 3%, taking out the 50-DMA. In order for the market to get a rally back into the end of the year, we need to get back above the 50-DMA, pronto. That will keep the bullish trend intact and set up for the much-anticipated Santa Claus rally into the end of the year.
