The post-FOMC reaction is getting interesting. After the U.S. market closed, the major ETF proxies showed a noticeable shift in positioning and volatility.
SPY, tracking the S&P 500, gained +1.11%, while $TMF , the 3x long 20-year Treasury bond moved +2.45%. At the same time, TBT, the 2x short 20-year Treasury bond ETF, fell -1.32%.
But the move that really caught my attention is $UVXY , the volatility proxy, dropping -5.94%.
That combination suggests the post-FOMC environment became much calmer, with volatility cooling while both equities and long-duration bonds showed strength. Of course, after-hours ETF moves are only one piece of the picture, and the real test comes when the broader U.S. market is fully open and liquidity returnsFor crypto traders, this is worth watching$ETFT.ETF
closely. Changes in equity sentiment, Treasury yields and volatility can quickly affect overall risk appetite, and Bitcoin often reacts when macro positioning starts shifting.
I’m not chasing the first move here. I’m watching how the market behaves once regular-session liquidity comes back, whether this strength holds, and if volatility stays suppressed.
The next session could tell us whether this is genuine positioning or simply a short-term post-FOMC reaction. 👀
