Tonight at 3 a.m., a smoke-free game is about to unfold. The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision announcement and Powell's press conference have everyone in the global trading community on edge.

A 25 basis point cut? The market has already fully priced that in. The real suspense isn't whether they will cut or not, but how they will say it. Powell must present a hawkish stance tonight—inflation pressures remain, policy path needs caution, and one rate cut doesn't mean the easing cycle has started. His task is clear: to cool the market’s wild expectation of "significant rate cuts next year."

Even more intriguing are internal rumors: this vote might pass narrowly at 7:5, indicating greater internal disagreements within the committee than expected.

What to do in terms of trading?
Short-term traders: If you open contracts, be prepared for both long and short explosive moves. The market could swing 3%-5% in an instant. Don’t panic; such intense volatility often presents short-term opportunities.

Medium-term positioning: If the market really drops, don’t be afraid—gradually build up your spot positions. Liquidity will flow in sooner or later; it’s just a matter of time.

Long-term holding: The door to the rate cut cycle has already begun to crack open. Holding spot positions is the right approach; don’t be scared off by short-term fluctuations.

Remember: When prices drop, slowly accumulate; when they go up, don’t chase highs. Liquidity may arrive late, but it will not be absent. The bigger the storm, the more you need to stay calm!
