FED Day — Two Sessions in One
by Tony Rago 

It’s FED Day with the FOMC rate decision at 2:00 p.m. and the press conference rolling in at 2:30, and that alone splits the session into two distinct tapes — pre-FED drift and post-FED volatility. Early action usually stays controlled as participants position lightly, and that’s exactly the mindset today: keep it lean into the announcement and let price tell the story after the release. These events can be tricky because the first move is often noise; it’s the secondary reaction that sets the real tone. No crystal balls, no guessing — just respecting the levels and trading what the tape confirms. 

Afternoons like this test discipline, and that’s where traders separate impulse from process. The goal is simple: stay open-minded, stay patient, and let the market reveal direction once the dust settles. If we get clean levels to lean against early, great — book your handles and stay flexible. If not, there’s no shame in waiting for clarity. There’s plenty of opportunity once the reaction leg sets up, and that’s where the higher-quality trades usually live. 💪
