#spx500 1hr. Similar story as per Nasdaq. The news was in the charts. Some fib confluence and the red 200 dEMA at ~$4400 for a bounce that could challenge the ATH. https://t.co/mGNzEQvVL9 pic.twitter.com/DwKkxYN56J

High-yield corporate bonds correlated positively with SPX in 2021. This correlation has been broken in 2022.
In fact, investors have been aggressively dumping high-yield corporate bonds since the start of the year. Do they sense a wave of possible defaults? pic.twitter.com/krEukaw0S4

Gap FILLED: (1) pay attention to the opening slump, that is a text-book version of a bear-trap; (2) remember every tiny feature of its formation, as next time, you won't be caught by it. (3) esp. noticed some VIP bear accounts cheered for the sell-off--that is premature. Got you!
Bullard threw some shit to the party: (1) just came back--I am ALL CASH now--and saw some changes to the roadmap; (2) quick assess--the consolidation needs more time, between 4600 and 4500--for at least 2-3 TDs. (3) the bullish trend has not changed, though.
Lots of chatter about a potential surprise rate increase.

Per the Bloomberg database of FOMC actions back to 1997, the only "surprise" or "unexpected" tightening was in February 2000.
