FOMC Statement — October 28, 2026

What it is

FOMC statements are released at 2:00 PM ET, followed by Powell's press conference at 2:30 PM. Crypto typically chops violently during the conference — wait for the dust to settle before sizing in.

Details: Fed interest-rate decision

How to trade it

• Reduce position size 1 hour before the release.
• Watch BTC for direction, then rotate to high-beta alts on confirmation.
• Avoid market orders the first 60 seconds — slippage is brutal.
• Use stop-loss in case the move reverses (initial spike often fades within 15 min).
