September 16–17 is a key event: the meeting of the US Federal Reserve. The decision on the rate will be announced on Wednesday, the 17th.
The market almost unanimously expects a decrease of 0.25%
And this is the first step this year against the backdrop of an economic slowdown. There are several scenarios: 1. A decrease of 0.25% - stocks and crypto will rise, while the dollar will weaken.
If Powell hints at new easing, the effect will intensify.
2. Without a decrease – the market is in shock: the dollar sharply up, risky assets (crypto) down.
What is important: - The publication of the decision will trigger a surge in volatility.
On the charts, there will be "helicopters" – the stop losses of the hamsters being taken out.
– The main movement will be at the press conference.
Powell's words will set the trend for the clock ahead.
For experienced scalpers – this is a pure injection of volatility 📈
It is better to work not at the moment of the news release, but after the first impulse, when the direction is visible.
Newcomers - be careful: spreads are widening, slippage and low liquidity can eat up your deposit.
