The Feds move was bullish for stocks and it could be enough to send the market substantially higher, but it also means they know the economy is not as strong as they thought and didn\u2019t feel it would be good to raise rates.<\/p>\n<p>The chart below shows what could happen if stocks can rally and close above last weeks high.
