Today, October 28, the markets will see two important policy decisions: the Bank of Canada will announce its interest rate decision and release its Monetary Policy Report, while the Federal Reserve will announce its rate decision and hold a press conference. Ajian is here to give you a quick guide to the framework for assessing the outcome and positioning your portfolio:

First, remember that the market isn’t focused solely on whether rates change this time. Most of that has already been anticipated and priced in. What matters most is how policymakers assess inflation, economic growth, and the future policy path. Even if a central bank holds rates steady, stronger concerns about inflation in its statement or press conference could prompt the market to reprice the scope for future rate cuts, putting crypto assets under pressure. Conversely, even without an immediate rate cut, guidance that is more dovish than expected could ease pressure on risk assets.

So today, focus on:

1. How the Fed describes inflation risks
2. Whether its comments on the future policy path have changed
3. How the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields actually react after the decisions
4. Whether BTC moves in line with risk assets or follows its own path

One point to keep in mind: although the broader market is currently rebounding, driven by $BTC , before the decisions are announced, all of this is just market expectation—it does not confirm a trend. Remember, the most valuable trading opportunities often don’t come from guessing a single number, but from assessing the gap between the final outcome and market expectations.

That’s all. DYOR#FOMC会议
