🏩 FOMC Decision Tonight — Markets on High Alert! ⚡

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting concludes tonight, October 29 (Wednesday) — and all eyes are on Jerome Powell as the U.S. Federal Reserve prepares to shape global markets once again! 🌍

🕒 Time (Pakistan):

đŸ—“ïž FOMC Decision: 11:00 PM (PKT)

đŸŽ™ïž Powell’s Press Conference: 12:00 AM – 12:30 AM (Midnight PKT, early Thursday)

📋 What’s on the Agenda:

1. Expected 25 bps Rate Cut — Bringing the Fed Funds Rate down to 3.75%–4.00%

2. Possible End of Quantitative Tightening (QT) — which could inject liquidity back into the financial system

3. Future Guidance: Powell’s tone will decide whether more rate cuts are coming or not

📊 Market Expectations:

đŸ’” Rate Cut = Bullish Signal:

Lower interest rates mean cheaper borrowing and more liquidity — bullish for crypto, stocks, and gold.

💬 QT Ending = Extra Fuel:

If the Fed confirms an end to balance-sheet reduction, markets may explode upward.

⚠ But Beware the Tone:

If Powell stays hawkish (worried about inflation), short-term volatility and a pullback are possible.

🔍 How It Impacts Markets:

Crypto: BTC and ETH may see massive price swings — both directions possible within minutes.

Stocks: U.S. indices (NASDAQ, S&P500) could rally if the Fed sounds dovish.

Dollar Index (DXY): Likely to weaken on a rate cut, supporting risk assets.

Gold & Bonds: Usually gain as yields drop.

🚀 Final Thoughts:

Traders, get ready for massive volatility tonight!

The FOMC decision could set the tone for the rest of Q4, deciding whether we end the year with a bull run or a correction.

Stay sharp — liquidity, leverage, and timing will matter most tonight! ⚡
