Appears the market is forming another pennant going into the tariff decision this weekend.
Nobody expects a rate cut, so the market will probably whipsaw on the Fed and do nothing in the end....
If the Chinese agree to a partial deal, then we probably get a melt up through January or whenever the full deal gets made. If the tariffs aren't cancelled, then watch out below.
No positions except for some CIEN calls for tomorrow's earnings. Staying out of the Fed whipsaw, chasing it is gonna be a good way to lose money, since I expect the market to go in both directions after the press conf.
