The reminder is clear, but let’s stretch it into the full update you want. The FOMC rate decision is now less than two hours away, and the market is settling into that tense period where traders wait for Powell and the committee to set the tone. Every move before the announcement is usually just noise, and most participants prefer to stay cautious until the statement hits. Volatility typically increases right before and after the release, so this window is when positioning matters most. Whether we get a surprise or the expected outcome, the reaction will likely guide the next major move.
