The Fed Wants To Hike Rates But The Market Doesn't Care
In a Nutshell
Markets are rallying despite an 83%+ probability of a Fed rate hike next week, driven by hotter-than-expected core CPI (0.3% vs 0.2% expected). The speaker closed a $1,300 profit on Oracle short and is eyeing Dell Technologies for a short, citing its 11%+ rally on no news and history of sharp pullbacks. Risk management emphasized—reduce position sizes ahead of weekend Fed decision amid ongoing geopolitical and inflation concerns.

Can you believe it? What's going on, guys? It's Ricky with Tech Solutions. And only in Trump's economy can we have the market up 1.1% even after now the probability for a rate hike is over 83.3%. You guys let me know down in the comments section. Is the Federal Reserve next week going to raise rates? Regardless of what this tool says, remember, no one can predict the future. Kevin Walsh was handpicked by Trump and the idea was that he would kind of have his back. But remember, it's a committee. A number of members vote if they're going to be raising or pausing or cutting interest rates. As of right now, there's an incredibly high probability, which some people are kind of scratching their head asking why. I'm going to explain all of this to you right now.
So, first off, we just wrapped up our live trading session with the LPP team. If you ever want to tune on in to watch me trade live, it's the second link in the description down below. It's the only group that I work with and that watches me trade live every day. I offer nothing else. With that being said, one of the quickest trades that we took this morning was honestly I missed out on the very big move was the short that I had. I made $1,300 on the initial drop on Oracle. It had a lot of consolidation. So, I closed I actually bought the dip. I closed it because it ended up not showing any signs of recovery even though NASDAQ was starting to recover. So, I saw the discrepancy there of the lack of progress and if there's just a bunch of consolidation and no progress, I just closed it out. Gladly I did because, you know, ended up producing another leg down, which means I didn't have to lose any more money. So, I made $1,300. I was up like 1,600, but it is what it is.
