⚠️ Important factor that most really forget

There is one historical pattern that should not be ignored.

The last four FOMC meetings with a rate decision led the market to a significant correction.

Not to minor fluctuations — but to a full decline that knocked out the 'weak hands' and cleaned up excessive optimism.

🔥 Why this is critical now

The market enters the meeting with:

• high expectations for policy easing,

• elevated FOMO,

• aggressive positioning of traders.

In such conditions, even a neutral tone from Powell or a standard 25 bps cut can provoke strong volatility and a rapid unwind.

📉 History speaks plainly

When the FOMC comes out with a decision — volatility arrives first.

And how the market has behaved in recent meetings indicates: the risk of a correction repeating this time is more than real.

✔️ Summary

Be prepared for any scenario.

After the rate announcement, the first minutes and hours can wipe out half a portfolio for those who remain without a plan or become too relaxed.
