Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The Federal Reserve FOMC decision is about to be announced, and Powell's subsequent speech is the main event — all your US stocks and crypto assets are waiting for this signal.

Currently, the market assigns a 90% probability of a 25 basis point cut, with interest rates expected to fall within the 3.5%-3.75% range. But honestly, what truly influences the market isn't whether they cut or not, but what Powell says at 3:30 AM. With a 7-5 vote inside the committee, if he leans slightly hawkish or dovish, the market will react immediately.

A few key points to watch:

Will the dot plot set the tone for the rate cut path in 2026? If he mentions that the economy is in a "good state," then the expectation of a rate cut in January can be basically dismissed. Currently, inflation and employment data are pulling in different directions; which side will the policy balance tip towards?

Set your alarm and don't miss the live broadcast. In times like this, one sentence can make your holdings ride a roller coaster.
