The calm before the Fed storm.
Markets may start quietly this week — but don’t get tricked by the calm. The real fireworks begin midweek with the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, the most market-moving event of October.
🗓️ Tuesday – Calm Before the Storm
A routine session with no major economic releases.
Expect:
Light volume and technical setups driving the charts.
Limited volatility — ideal for preparing trade plans and marking key zones.
Use this quiet day to get ready for what’s coming on Wednesday.
⚡ Wednesday – The Fed Showdown
The Main Event.
🕑 2:00 PM ET – Fed Interest Rate Decision
🕝 2:30 PM ET – Powell’s Press Conference
Trading Plan:
Stay light or flat before 2 PM — price will likely coil tightly.
After 2:30 PM, brace for violent swings — major indices can rip or dump 500–1000+ points in minutes.
Don’t guess the move. React with confirmation and discipline.
📊 Thursday – GDP Reaction Day
The Advanced GDP report could shake things up, especially if it challenges Fed projections.
Expect sharp intraday moves but less chaos than Wednesday.
Manage position sizes carefully — the market will still be digesting Fed signals.
💵 Friday – Inflation & Labor Check (Core PCE + ECI)
Data release uncertain; could be delayed.
If released, expect short bursts of volatility around the numbers.
If not, expect a slower session as traders close positions before the weekend.
