Wednesday’s trade was full of surprises. The FED raised the expected 25 bps and Powell presented us with a more hawkish statement and press conference. But the fund managers and algorithmic traders had a different thought and once Powell was done — the buy order spigot got opened and it ran the markets for the next 2 hours. To top is all off META reported missing estimates but announced a $40 billion stock buyback — and META soared after hours — up nearly $30 from the close — I do update the count — it hasn’t changed — added additional Fibonacci extensions to compliment the existing Fibs for Intermediate wave 2 — all in all the markets appear headed to the upper Fib levels. I discuss the points where the alternate count would move over to preferred — we are not there yet — but need to include it now.
