FED JUST CHANGED EVERYTHING! 3 Fed Officials Just Voted To RAISE Rates 🚨 XRP And QQQ KNOW THIS!!!
Overall Thesis
The Fed's hawkish signals from three officials voting to raise rates represent a major market shift that will likely pressure equities and crypto, with the next meeting expected to deliver a rate hike.
Narratives
Stock Moe briefly mentions a HIMS options trade that is up 106% as a past win from his Discord community, without laying out a forward-looking thesis or price target for the stock.
Key Arguments
- Cited as a successful past trade (up 106%) with stops set at 30% to protect gains
XRPXRPStock Moe says XRP spiked to $1.0912 on the Fed decision but gave back the entire pop to close at $1.0673, a red flag he ties to fragile, leverage-driven positioning. He highlights $2.43 billion in open interest against just $361 million of daily spot volume, arguing futures are driving price rather than real spot buying, which makes a violent move in either direction more likely.
Key Arguments
- XRP's Fed-day pop fully reversed before the close, unlike a healthy rally
- Open interest of $2.43B dwarfs the ~$361M in daily spot volume, meaning futures positioning rather than spot buying is setting the price
- A support line held since June is now broken, which he reads as bearish continuation
- Higher-for-longer rate risk and a possible September/December hike would force leveraged crypto positioning to reprice lower
Risks acknowledged
- High leverage cuts both ways and could squeeze price sharply higher instead of lower
Predictions (1)
"It's done. I think we're going down in the 70s at that point."
QQQInvesco QQQ Trust (Nasdaq-100 ETF)Stock Moe argues the Nasdaq is now over 10% below its June high and in correction, and that the Fed's surprise hawkish tilt (three dissents favoring a hike, rising 30-year yield) raises the discount rate on future earnings, hitting high-multiple growth names hardest. He believes downward pressure continues and the charts show big money selling ahead of the Fed news.
Key Arguments
- NASDAQ is 10.1% below its June 1st high and in technical correction
- Long-end yields rising while the Fed holds signals the market doesn't believe inflation is beaten, which raises discount rates on growth stock earnings
- QQQ chart retested the 50-day, then gapped down, suggesting institutional selling ahead of the Fed decision
- A possible September/December hike would force repricing of every high-multiple stock
Risks acknowledged
- If oil calms down and inflation proves supply-driven and transitory, the hawkish case and the selloff could look like an overreaction
Hedges & Caveats
- Host acknowledges uncertainty about Fed's true intentions ('Is it? I don't know')
- Mentions setting stops at 30% to cover damage on trades
- References past wins but notes market volatility and potential for 'a lot more pain before any gain'
- Discord membership promotion suggests potential bias in market commentary
