Upcoming FOMC Meeting – Market Volatility Ahead
The Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting is on the radar, and markets are bracing for key policy signals. While consensus suggests no immediate rate hike or cut, traders will be closely analyzing the Fed’s tone on inflation, economic growth, and the dot plot projections.
Key factors to watch:
Rate decision & Fed statement
Press conference insights from Jerome Powell
Updated economic projections
Potential changes in the balance sheet runoff pace
Expect heightened volatility across risk assets including crypto, equities, and bonds. BTC and ETH often react sharply to hawkish or dovish surprises, and the DXY and US10Y yields may offer early clues.
Risk management is critical during FOMC days — widen stop-losses, reduce leverage, and wait for post-announcement clarity before taking high-conviction trades.
