DIA Momentum Strategy

Created

Thesis

The initial sell-off after the Fed's hike was driven by fear of the unknown, but the follow-through tells a different story: the Dow surged and bond prices rose as investors gained confidence that Chairman Warsh will keep inflation in check. When a rate hike 'lifts a long-standing overhang,' as Reuters put it, equities often rally because the uncertainty premium comes out of prices. This suggests the post-Fed rebound has real legs rather than being a dead-cat bounce. A disciplined long trade on the Dow captures that calm-after-the-storm dynamic with defined risk if confidence fades.

When a rate h'. Thesis: The initial sell-off after the Fed's hike was driven by fear of the unknown, but the follow-through tells a different story: the Dow surged and bond prices rose as investors gained confidence that Chairman Warsh will keep inflation in check. When a rate hike 'lifts a long-standing overhang,' as Reuters put it, equities often rally because the uncertainty premium comes out of prices. This suggests the post-Fed rebound has real legs rather than being a dead-cat bounce. A disciplined long trade on the Dow captures that calm-after-the-storm dynamic with defined risk if confidence fades.
