Price Action
The US Fed's decision to hold rates steady is the key factor affecting the market. Traders typically focus on the price reaction and its impact on positioning, liquidity, and near-term conviction.
The Tactical Read

The market's reaction to the US Fed's decision will be crucial. A move like this can change how traders price the next session, not just the current headline cycle. Related assets and sector leaders will be watched for confirmation of the same direction.
What Confirms the Move
