📢 Important Update – High-Volatility News Today

Hey everyone, heads up: today we’ve got major U.S. Fed / FOMC events on the calendar — rate decision, economic projections, and press conference. Markets are expecting a 25 bps rate cut to 4.00–4.25% with very high probability.

🕗 Time: 7:00pm BST – FOMC Rate Decision & Statement

🕣 Time: 7:30pm BST – FOMC Press Conference

What this means

• Expect sharp moves in USD pairs, indices, and rate-sensitive assets.

• High volatility and potential whipsaws around key levels.

• During the day, USD-related assets may remain less volatile, with the main movement concentrated around the announcements.

Recommendation

If you’re trading manually: we strongly suggest closing open positions before the news to avoid unnecessary risk.

Be cautious, false stability during the day can quickly turn into extreme volatility once the statements are released. Managing exposure around events like this is a core part of professional trading discipline.
