Is recent rally bear rally or beginning of new bull run? Here is my take


Hello all,

SPY gained 8% and QQQ gained 13% in less than 2 weeks which seems surprising with the current environment when we have inflation out of control, high commodities prices and one of the worst fed tightening in decades.

I am not trying to time the market and I keep adding in undervalued stocks but I do not want to get dragged into “FOMO” rally. I am long-term bullish and I only have one cheap put contract as a small hedge. There is huge SPY puts flow but this could be MMs hedging their portfolios.

My take (not a financial advisor):

Bottom line: Nobody knows anything.

I think Fed is way behind the curve and they eventually will have to aggressive and do more rate hikes and slow economy. However, I think recession is less likely due to strong labor market. We might revisit close to Feb-Mar lows but it might not happen until Apr-May when companies start to report Q2 earnings and next FOMC meeting. QQQ might reach to ~365 and SPY to ~455 before another correction happens.

I know nobody has a crystal ball, but let us hear your take. What do you think about this trend? Do you think we will revisit Feb-Mar lows?
