The S&P 500's hovering near all-time highs while everyone's playing the waiting game for next week's Fed meeting. Market's pricing in a rate cut, and you can see it in how small caps are flexing—finally getting some love after being beaten down. AI stocks? Still the darlings, naturally.

Meanwhile, bonds are doing their indecisive dance, and Bitcoin's caught in the same choppy waters. Classic pre-Fed jitters. The real question isn't whether Powell cuts, but what the forward guidance looks like. That's what'll move markets.

Small-cap stocks have finally made a comeback, haha --- Powell is going to make a big move this week; the key is to look at the forward guidance. --- Both bonds and Bitcoin are waiting for the right moment this time. --- AI stocks are still pretending, good thing small-caps are starting to gain momentum. --- To put it plainly, it's just pre-Fed anxiety. We'll know the result next week. --- Whether small-caps are bullish or not all depends on how Powell speaks.

Small-cap stocks have finally made a comeback, everything looks great and booming right now. But don’t celebrate too soon—guidance is what really matters. Powell could send us right back into the trap with just one comment.

If Powell dares to be dovish, small-cap stocks will take a hit again.

Wait a minute, are small-cap stocks making a comeback? Is this the real deal or just a false boom before the Fed... I'm a bit tempted but even more cautious. --- Powell's words are worth more than candlestick charts; a single forward guidance sentence can rewrite the whole playbook. --- AI stocks are still at the top while Bitcoin is struggling? What does this gap mean... capital is selectively abandoning certain things. --- With bonds swinging back and forth, I knew no one was truly at ease—everyone's betting on how determined Powell really is. --- The revival of small-cap stocks is nothing more than rate cut expectations. What will happen when they actually cut? I've been burned plenty of times right after. --- Honestly, getting into anything right now is a bit of a gambler's move, unless you really have Powell's intentions figured out. --- It's that pre-Fed curse again. Last time I fell for the "wait and see" mentality—selling was so damn painful. --- Small-caps have been neglected for so long, and now they're suddenly performing—I'm suspicious this is a trap.

Wait, have small-cap stocks really started to move? Why don’t I feel anything yet? --- As soon as Powell spoke on Monday, I felt like everything went haywire. --- Both bonds and Bitcoin are swinging—who the heck can predict this stuff? --- Small-cap stocks finally bounced back, looks like my positions finally have a chance. --- Forward guidance is the real killer move—don’t just focus on rate cuts. --- AI is still acting all high and mighty, but when it’s time to drop, they all have to kneel. --- Whenever the S&P surges, I get nervous—always feel like it’s about to crash.

The market is relying on the Fed again—this never ends. --- Have small caps finally made a comeback? I don’t buy it; let’s wait until Powell finishes speaking before doing the math. --- AI is still hanging in there, but once guidance comes out, everyone will have to get back in line. --- Bitcoin is as conflicted as bonds—no one knows which way anything’s headed. --- To put it bluntly, Powell just opens his mouth and millions go broke or get rich. This market is fucking wild. --- Forward guidance is way more important than the rate cut itself—this is what really moves the market. --- I missed out on this round of small cap rebound; I always feel like the Fed has another move up its sleeve. --- Bonds are acting like this, and I understand them less and less. --- If Powell doesn’t give especially hawkish guidance, how could the market possibly drop obediently?

Small-cap stocks have finally made a comeback. Is this rebound real, or just a flash in the pan before the Fed turns dovish? --- AI stocks are still going strong, as popular as ever—no wonder, they're the market darlings. --- Bonds swinging back and forth like this is really messing with sentiment, and Bitcoin is partying along with them. --- Powell’s guidance is what really matters; whether they cut or not, it seems like it’s all been telegraphed already. --- Wait, are small caps really about to take off? Or are we about to get slapped in the face again? --- This pre-Fed atmosphere has all assets on edge. --- The S&P 500 hitting all-time highs without much fanfare is honestly wild.

NGL, we won't know the truth until Powell speaks; everything now is just a guessing game.
