$UNQ HOLDINGS(02177.HK)$ Today's 10 yuan increase

Due to the Fed's lax monetary policies, 2020 was the year when basically every stock went up. Stocks of pre-revenue companies shot to the moon in 2020, and then crashed back to earth in 2021, as evidenced in the miracle and then debacle of Cathie Wood's ARKK fund.
The Fed has announced yesterday at the FOMC meeting that they will accelerate tapering and consider three interest rate hikes in 2022, from a rate of 0.08% (right now) to about 1.00%.
Due to increasingly less liquidity in the market throughout 2022, would it be wise to start shorting garbage pre-revenue or negative-revenue companies?
Examples: $FuboTV(FUBO.US)$ , $Opendoor Technologies(OPEN.US)$ , $Virgin Galactic(SPCE.US)$ , $FuelCell Energy(FCEL.US)$ , $Uber Technologies(UBER.US)$ , $Nikola(NKLA.US)$ , $Rivian Automotive(RIVN.US)$ $Lucid Group(LCID.US)$ etc. I know some of these went down a lot already. I'm asking whether there is a high probability that they will decrease in valuations even more.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he expects policymakers in December to discuss accelerating the timetable for the tapering of monthly bond purchases.

It's not the first time Elon Musk's worried about the demise of SpaceX — he once thought it would be worth '$0'
$Tesla(TSLA.US)$ and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk sent a letter to his employees the day after Thanksgiving, in which he said the rocket company could be at "genuine risk of bankruptcy," unless it can speed up production of the Raptor engines that power its Starship rockets.
It's not SpaceX's first brush with serious financial risk: Musk has often spoken about how risky it was to launch the company in 2002, and how it nearly failed just a few years later. It's always possible that Musk is using the threat of bankruptcy as a motivational tactic for his employees. But the Raptor engines are essential to SpaceX's financial future — because the company will need its Starship rockets to launch its next genneratioon of Starlink satellites into orbit.
