The Fed has not pivoted to a loose policy stance; it has merely paused rate hikes. Fed Chair Waller has explicitly stated that the fight against inflation will not be declared over based on a single month's CPI data. With a zero-tolerance policy toward high inflation and the option for further rate hikes remaining on the table for the year, market fantasies of broad monetary easing have been dispelled. Consequently, bulls are wary of blindly chasing highs, and persistent selling pressure remains overhead. 🚀2. Heavy overhead resistance from trapped positions; breakouts without volume will inevitably retreat. The $65,300–$65,600 range marks the intraday high of the current rebound and coincides with the high-volume zone where the previous downtrend began; a large volume of "trapped" positions established at higher levels is waiting to exit. Even higher up, the $66,000–$66,900 range holds an even larger volume of positions waiting to cut losses. Without sustained, massive ETF inflows, breaking through this resistance zone in a single move is highly unlikely. 🏴3. ETF capital flows are volatile; a single day of inflows does not signal sustained buying. There have been instances where a day of ETF inflows was followed by massive redemptions the next day. Institutional activity has largely been limited to halting loss-cutting rather than initiating large-scale, active position building. The rebound lacks the momentum of sustained long-term capital, making it highly susceptible to capital flight and subsequent pullbacks at higher levels.
