market down - although the market may be getting slightly oversold here on those short term indicators. i think i will remain bearish the overall equities market this year so long as the FED remains firm with its tapering and rate hike schedule, which could potentially happen at a faster rate with inflation sky rocketing in recent months we shall see. but, i do genuinely feel that the market going up for so many years after the GFC (great financial crisis) was almost entirely all FED driven imho. if the FED is thinking of removing that "punch bowl", or "hopium" as i sometimes like to call it so to speak, then i personally don't see how the market can remain at such elevated levels here going into the year. i know i'm naturally a bear at heart as it is (i mean, my username pretty blatantly screams that lol). but, i think this year more than any other year since the '08-'09 crisis, i'm feeling a bit more of a conviction on some serious and meaningful downside potential for the foreseeable future simply because of the FED starting tightening things a bit largely due to sky rocketing inflation here and abroad. we shall see if that actually pans out here for the year or not.
