Will Nasdaq remain open until the election?

Fed Policy and Market Impact
📌 The Federal Reserve is expected to decide on interest rates, with experts debating a potential 25 basis point hike.
⚖️ The Chairman faces a difficult political landscape; raising rates now risks accusations of political bias ahead of the presidential election, despite macroeconomic factors not strongly supporting a hike.
📉 Inflation is currently driven by higher oil prices rather than an excessive increase in the money supply.
🗣️ The Fed is shifting away from providing "preliminary guidance," leading to friction with traditional economic media that relies on these signals to form narratives.

Technical Analysis & Trading Strategy
📊 Focus on support and resistance zones rather than single lines to account for algorithmic "stop-loss hunting" around key levels.
⏱️ Patience is critical: When a support level is breached, monitor the asset for at least one hour to confirm if it’s a genuine breakdown or a temporary swing before making a trade.
📈 For the S&P 500, watch the 7,580 support region; if the market trends upward after the Fed announcement, consider entering, but remain cautious if support fails.
📉 For the Nasdaq, monitor the 28,800 level; if it drops below this threshold, it serves as a signal to consider selling.

Sector Analysis & Future Outlook
🚀 Space and Defense stocks, specifically SpaceX and Rocket Lab, are highly resilient due to national security interests, even if political "reactionary" forces move to halt AI advancement.
🌐 China remains a key competitor in space; America currently maintains a lead in recyclable rocket technology, which is a significant strategic advantage.
🔍 Sector ETFs like SMH (semiconductors) and the DRAM ETF show potential for growth if they bounce off their support levels following the Fed meeting.
🛡️ Cybersecurity ETFs (CIBR) face resistance at the 101.4 level; a sustained breakout above this point is necessary before considering a buy.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Avoid emotional trading: Do not chase market volatility caused by algorithmic interpretations of statements from officials like Kevin Warsh.
➡️ Watch the reaction, not the news: The market’s price action following the Fed decision is more important than the decision itself; build your roadmap based on real-time trends.
➡️ Prioritize independent analysis: Be wary of mainstream economic media narratives that lack independent viewpoints; trust your own observation of chart support and resistance.
➡️ Strategic positioning: Space-related defense companies are shielded by strategic necessity, making them a potentially safer hedge against political volatility compared to pure-play AI firms.
