Rates? Unchanged.
Market reaction? Depends 100% on Powell’s tone.
Here’s the real backdrop 👇
▪️ Powell already made it clear: rate cuts aren’t coming easily
▪️ Inflation data still refuses to cool properly
▪️ Fresh Trump tariff talk = new inflation risk unlocked
This traps the Fed.
Cut too early → inflation spike risk
Stay tight → growth fears return
So what usually happens next? 📉📈
▪️ Fake breakouts
▪️ Sharp reversals
▪️ Algo-driven whipsaws
▪️ Charts printing messy ranges, not trends
📊 Market mode: Uncertainty
No hero trades. No conviction moves.
🎯 Smart play:
• Size down
• Let volatility settle
• Wait for policy clarity before swinging big
Sometimes the best trade… is patience. 🧠
