Yes. Powell may be sorry later though. And he or another Fed Reserve person may come out with a dovish statement later--unless the employment or inflation reports do the job for him, making it obvious the Fed will cut rates again. Even if he wanted the stock & bond markets to take a dive, like they are doing there is going to be some limit to that--some point when he'll decide that was enough. Because what would be the point of the Fed lowering rates, only to have them rise in the larger economy? Not that the Fed can totally control that. But they do have some degree of control. They don't have to sound so hawkish as Powell just did. And if he wants rates low on e.g. mortgages, other loans etc., the Fed is either going to have to start sounding dovish--or else the gov economic statistics reports are going to have to sound like the Fed will have to cut rates
