Fed Announces Interest Rate Decision: First Hike in 3 Years

The Fed's first interest rate hike in three years could create valuation pressure on growth stocks and pose short-term downside risk for GOOGL. Technical indicators are mixed: the price is slightly below the SMA20 and above the SMA50; RSI at 49 is neutral and MACD is below the signal line, indicating weak momentum. The rate hike news may already be priced in; therefore, the impact could be limited. In the short term, the 339-345 band is critical; if the SMA50 support is broken, the decline could accelerate. Overall, I foresee a cautious downward trend, but whether the news is a surprise will be decisive.

The Fed's first rate hike in three years could be considered a hawkish surprise for stock markets and may create selling pressure in the short term. The S&P 500's last close was at 7553, already showing a weak trend with a 1.49% decline in 24 hours; although the RSI at 37.65 is approaching oversold territory, it has not yet given a reversal signal. The MACD is negative and below the signal line, and the price is trading below the 20- and 50-day moving averages, confirming that short-term momentum is downward. With the rate hike news, this technical picture increases the risk of the index testing the 7500 support within 1-3 days. However, it should also be considered that the decline may be limited due to oversold conditions and the possibility that the news is already priced in.

The Fed's first interest rate hike in 3 years could be considered a negative surprise for stock markets. NDX has already fallen 1.6% in 24 hours, and RSI at 42 indicates weak momentum. MACD is in negative territory and below the signal line, suggesting that downward pressure may continue. The price is trading below SMA20 and SMA50, confirming that the short-term trend is down. Market volatility may increase after the rate hike, and selling pressure could persist for 1-3 days.

The Fed's first rate hike in 3 years is a strong upward catalyst for DXY. The price is already above the SMA20 and SMA50 at 100.24, with RSI at 66 approaching overbought territory. MACD is slightly above the signal line, confirming positive momentum. In the short term, the 100.50-101.00 resistance zone may be tested; however, RSI entering overbought territory could trigger profit-taking. Nevertheless, since the rate hike news fundamentally supports the dollar, the 1-3 day outlook is upward.
