So here is the Fomc rate Hike Explained in just five minutes: what's going on? Team: It's Ricky here with Techbook Solutions and we live stream the Federal Reserve FMC Uh rate Hike Uh, Today and we caught the Market's reaction initially when the 0.25 interest rate hike I Just want to make sure that you guys could see that right here. So the Federal Fund rate again is now anywhere from 4.5 to 4.75 percent. there is a 0.25 interest rate hike again. That was the change that we've seen.

This is the smallest interest rate hike dating back to March 17, 2022. One of the first things that I want you to understand is that this is what was already factored into the market. If this interest rate height came in at point five percent, anything higher than 0.25 the market would have aggressively sold off. It would have corrected itself Market Pulled back originally right.

This was all caught in today's live and then it actually began to just take off. Drum power all began to speak and again. we. We did this yesterday where we looked back to every Uh or the previous six Uh Fomc rate hikes and we tried to see how the market reacted.

Normally sometimes the day of it wasn't very common, but the market did close in the green. It was not very common, right? This is a little bit different because inflation is actually coming down and this was a less aggressive interest rate hike. That being said, normally after a rate hike, the market would close in the red. This time it closed in the green.

There has been two other times that the market did close in the green, but it was the days after that it corrected itself I Wanted to share with you guys an analogy that a lot of Traders like to use. and it's kind of like the rubber band approach or the slingshot approach. The more that something becomes overbought and the less it corrects itself right. the more overbought it becomes, the quicker and the harder it will fall right.

There's no reason I need to be telling you this right I Do not care if you actually sell your position I'm not here to force you to do something that you do not want to if you want to continue to hold your position please. you're an adult right? You can can do as you please. All I don't want to happen is if I can make this video to Simply encourage you to have some form of exit plan if we do begin to see a correction and or a pullback right. A pullback isn't just something you know.

pulling back to the EMA or pulling back to the moving average is not what I'm talking about, but one of the main reasons that I focus so much on locking and profit again. I'm in a little bit over 5700 I left myself with my one lucky share and just so you could see my Asuki key position. I only have my one lucky share that I had from two days ago when I was shorting the market and I made 24K right I locked in profits two days ago and then I went long yesterday I make I made over six thousand dollars and then today I made a little bit over 5700. So I'm very grateful for the money I made today, but realistically based off of Tqq's performance at 6.46 and then 2.91 I mean we're talking about an over eight to almost nine percent move.

my my profits were not anything impressive. I I had had a very light position size I locked in profits right away but I wanted to lead by example right? I didn't want to be a hypocrite and be like hey, I think everyone should play it safe and then I don't Right, it's you. just need to understand the conditions that you are trading in. This is the reason I'm making this video is: I wanted to recap what the interest rate hike was I wanted to explain to you what exactly happened, but I also wanted you to I wanted you to understand why I chose to play it so safe I think that's what's most important is the why behind it.

The psychology behind it. Anytime that there is a right hike, anytime that there's an earnings report, anytime that there's any form of economic report, these are catalysts that can cause more volatility, which means more risk. Any open position is a position that's open to risk. It's very easy for me to say Now looking back, I'm like, okay I should have just held my position, but again thinking about it, how many times have you held your position and then you go from green to Red? It's one of the worst feelings ending in the green.

Although I could have made more money? this is a pill that I can swallow, right? this is. This is a a obstacle that I can learn to overcome and get better as time goes on. I could have let my winter run a little bit longer, left myself a smaller position as there was no break of pattern. But nonetheless, the habit of locking in profit is a better Habit to have than not locking in profits.

And that's what I'm trying to remind you is that build healthy habits, There's no time. there's no need to try to be perfect. You will never be perfect. Your entries and your exits will never be perfect.

If you obsess about being perfect, you will get destroyed by the market. Be effective. That's what you should always aim to be with your entries. and with your exits, stay calculated.

One of the main reasons that we began to take off after market hours. You could see that originally the market uh, based off of Tikihiki's performance again. NASDAQ Market pulled on back right before closed 2.66 If you think about it, that's pretty significant, right? Why did it begin to take off? Well, if you look at actually Meta's earnings, Meta reported earnings today and a gapped up 20 percent. One of the biggest Gap ups that we've seen in Meta in a really, really long time.

Of course, Meta having a 400 billion dollar market cap. This is the reminder that I have for you on how an individual stock can move indexes. There's three main indexes in the United States NASDAQ Dow Jones and S P 500. Do you guys know what tomorrow is tomorrow is the biggest Tech earnings for the week and we have Amazon Apple and Google I.

Don't know if you've heard of them before. We got Alphabet, which is the mother company for Google right? We have Amazon reporting earnings like where's that at Amzn reporting earnings after the market closes. trillion dollar market cap more than twice as much as uh, Meta today. and then we have Apple if I'm not mistaken.

Apple reports earnings tomorrow as well. And again, Apple has one of the largest market caps for any company that's publicly traded. Let me just double check and make sure that it does report it. I'm pretty sure it does report earnings tomorrow, but the reason I'm reminding you of this is because you can see how it can shift markets looking at the overall.

NASDAQ There's two things that I wanted to share with you I wanted to remind you right or I wanted to make you aware of what caused the market to go up today. But I also wanted to remind you of what's to come, right? We have economic reports tomorrow right before the Market opens, so if you guys aren't aware of that, we have initial claims, continuing claims that's based off of unemployment, the people that are filing for unemployment for the first time based off of last month that should be be going down, and continuing claims between people that continue to fall for unemployment. those are going to be the two main economic reports that's going to be released and then obviously earnings tomorrow. Again, something that you definitely want to take into consideration.

Why? Well, because it can affect the market and by affecting individual stocks depending on their market cap valuation, it could influence other areas. And because QQQ Is So based off of recent patterns overbought, it wouldn't take much to bring it down. Remember the slingshot approach. The more that it becomes overbought, the quicker it can fall.

Especially again, it's just a domino effect, especially if things just begin to. Tumble Right now, there's great Market Sentiment: We're coming off of a great interest rate hike Market Sentiment is strong I'm going to take it day by day, but as we become this overbought I just want to remind you you shouldn't be scared, just this is a reminder that we are overbought lot and to watch and be mindful of your position size. That is all right, because one one one out at one moment. If it's not tomorrow, then it's next week the market will correct itself to some degree.

I Just want you to be able to tolerate it. Remember this is a marathon, not a Sprint You Don't Have To Make It or Break It Every single day you're learning how to trade. Focus on learning to build healthy habits. That's what's most important.

That's what's going to allow you to be here in a year or three years or five years from now is if you do not destroy and discourage Yourself by trying to be too aggressive or by trying to be too perfect. It it's such a toxic way to approach the market. You're here to learn, then focus on learning and building healthy habits. So that's my recap for the overall day.
