FOMC Trade Setups
Less is More
Into FOMC I’m keeping things simple and tight. My focus is on quality only—clean technical setups with clear risk levels and defined catalysts—rather than spraying trades across the board. I’m willing to buy dips for very short‑term swings, but I’ll be quick to take profits and even quicker to cut if levels break, because this feels like a market that’s gearing up for a turn rather than cruising in a straight line. As positioning builds into the decision and Powell’s presser, caution is warranted; I’d rather miss the first 1–2% of a move than be overexposed if the reaction isn’t friendly.
Lets review a few of the recent idea’s
AAPL - bounce and rejected at our levels
NOW - support held and oversold read gives nice setup into earnings
OXY - Energy has continued to be strong and now OXY is trying to clear resistance
TSLA - nice move, but wouldn’t be surprised with another short term, strong bounce
IBIT / BTC - Key watch for me, still would like a stronger rally to short into
