1) Give the Market what they want, risk another Dollar plunge.
2) Hold off on Cuts, Market tanks.

Note: Remember last Monday when the money flowed to the banks unexpectedly and surprised everyone? Do you think they knew something about BSC? I am looking for another suprise tomorrow (in other words they hold their position, throw maybe a tiny bone and market tanks....

Bernanke and Co. gave everything that the market demanded up to now. I highly doubt that they will do any different this time around. Haven't you also noticed that they go into a panic mode whenever the financial markets are near the 52-week low? It's almost comical.

Niko, you're right. I like how Kevin Haggerty characterizes the fed as the PPT (Plunge Protection Team). This is just my gut but I believe if the fed only comes out with .5 point we'll see a selloff. Who knows...it might even sell off if it's a full point. The 132.5 level in the SPY is a very critical level. I'm sitting on the sidelines just waiting to see which way this puppy goes. Even if we get a very bullish day with a close above that level there's still a lot of overhead resistance to clear before I switch over to the bull camp.

S&P is already up more than 38 points. I wonder how much more room there is to rally even if the Fed was generous to give a full 1 point chop.

Niko, you've observed intraday action for a lot longer than I have. I woulda thunk that with such an OB condition (intraday) that this market would have been engineered lower in anticipation of the announcement. Your thoughts?

On a day like this, all bets are off. It's also worth noting that the fed funds futures is migrating from a 100bp cut to 75.
