50 basis points = drop

    50 basis points = drop down to 3650 in short order and possibly resume June swoon giddiyup down to 3200, then we start a decent summer bounce around the 4th of July, then dump hard once demand destruction comes.

    75 basis point = start the summer rally only now and fall apart later to 3200.  If the aggressive moves begin, the chances for a further drop below 3200 BEGIN to diminish but demand destruction can at least begin.

    Both roads lead to AT LEAST 3200 on the SnP, only question is when.   I'm thinking 50 basis points and we drop like a hot potato is more likely, especially if we rally up into it tomorrow.

    Funny that's pretty much what I texted to Matt earlier today....I think they go 75 basis points now (see below)

    I don't understand the theory of 75 bps being bullish AT ALL -- but I've seen that a lot on Fintwit the last few days as well.

    It's simply an acknowledgement the FED is attempting to address (possible excuse for a relief rally) - however, it's far too little and too late.  As stated, they are in between a rock and a hard place (putting it mildly)

    I mean they addressed the

    I mean they addressed the issue by saying 2 50's and then see what happens when supply chains ease and war ends (eventually).  They can't have enough data to backtrack on "wait and see" before the waiting and seeing lol. 

    I was bullish when thinking about event volatility and OPEX and all that, but if they do 75bps (and assuming its not a pull forward and pause)  that seems like a panic move -- shouldn't that lead to a panic reaction by the market? 

    Panic move - they are

    Panic move - they are light years behind the curve.   I'm sure the thought is that the sooner they raise the quicker they can start another round of QE.  What a mess 

    The problem now is the massive amount of debt unlike 2000-02 and 2007-09.
