I would let the upside momentum deplete before taking a short position... It will test the lows, imho... It just needs to convince about the upside first...

Watching the Fed change policy is like watching the tide. The movement is almost inperceptible unless you use time lapse photoraphy (or a long term chart), but the swings from one extreme to the other are, in the end, quite unmistakable. And like the tide which simply responds to the gravitational pull of the moon as it cycles through the heavens, the Fed, all powerful as it appears, is simply being pushed and pulled from one extreme to the other, then back again, by the ever- cycling economy. "The inevitable march towards lower rates continues...." But that just my view, fwiw.... ;) D
