The emergency meeting the Fed had today leads me to believe the .5% hike is off the table and .25% may or may not be on the table. I don't think there is a pivot to lower rates but raising clearly opens up more institutions to liquidity risk so the Fed has to tread lightly moving forward.

I suspect the hiking was to continue until the cracks emerged all along. Peel the onion and spackle the cracks.
