Ep204: Fed Day, And SPX Is Teasing The Range Lows Again
Summary
The host analyzes FOMC data, arguing that the day after a rate change is historically more significant than the meeting day itself, with average losses of 0.68%. He reviews market levels, noting VIX above 16 and S&P 500 support, while taking short-term bull options to lock in profits before the announcement. Bitcoin’s recent breakdown through range lows signals a potential bearish move, and the episode concludes by celebrating successful community trades from the previous day’s premium popper setups.
