🕙 Statement: 22:00 UTC+4
🎙️ Press conference: Shortly after

Markets are pricing in roughly a 25 bps hike to 3.75%–4.00%, which would be the first hike since around 2023. The hike itself is largely priced in.

The real volatility could come from the dot plot and Powell’s tone.

🔴 Hawkish path: Dollar & yields strengthen → crypto may remain under pressure.

🟢 Softer guidance: Relief move possible, but expect volatility.

⚠️ Liquidity can thin out around the announcement. Spreads may widen, and fake breakouts/breakdowns are common.

Avoid trading the actual print and the first few minutes of the press conference.

Let the tape settle. Then trade the reaction, not the headline.
