Davy. I agree, John P has the expertise to weigh in. Hope he does. In the end, we will soon know what the fed statements says. I agree with this portion of that article. "Yet the message from a string of Fed governors in recent days is that rate rises cannot be put off much longer, the Atlanta Fed’s own Dennis Lockhart among them. “All meetings from June onwards should be on the table,” he said. The most recent Fed minutes cited worries that the flood of capital into the U.S. on the back of the stronger dollar is holding down long-term borrowing rates and effectively loosening US monetary policy. This makes Fed tightening even more urgent, implying a “higher path” for coming rate rises. Nobody should count on a reprieve from the Fed this time. The world must take its punishment." Davy: The tech indicators I present have lots of room to allow for the down. And not as much to allow for a continuation to spx 2500.. or 972/1458/1944.........2430.. I lean 1944 stair stepping to 1458 which in fact is back to where the SPX was in 2013. So for the moderate who disagree.. well 1944/1782/1620 filling the gap UP at 1648. We shall see.. But again.. Who thinks the fed will raise rates.. I do. Who thinks the FED is behind the curve. I DO! IMO Fintas

Here's my wag, on the $$, FWIW.... Once the global $$ pool (mostly in the form of foreign held Tsy bonds) shrinks to the point where the U.S. gov. has to begin borrowing in foreign currencies to fund their rapidly increasing spending? The D.C. crash dummies all go thru the windshield. Why? More and more of that spending is nothing more than vote buying and enormous special interest pay offs for funding their election campaigns. All that's required for systemic collapse of this central regime AWA many of it's mega public and corporate supporter/puppeteers is for that debt funded spending expansion to slow and reverse. IMO? It's inevitable. It's happened to all prior major empires in history. Posted a book list several times, on my own thread, in early 2009, to substantiate the historical case for the above. Many related posts - by other contributors AWA me - between then and today further support this thesis. Again, it's a only a well evidenced thesis. There're no certainties in forecasting. Isopatch
