This is the scenario i am seeing looking at the charts, that's why i strongly believe any major move may be to the downside.
Daily TL 3 touches to top and 3 touches to bottom.
And a lot of shit that happened in between
Daily chart with divergence on MACD.

With the Federal Funds Rate decision today, volatility is expected and EUR/USD could swing sharply in either direction. On the daily chart, the pair is testing resistance after a steady climb. While an initial retracement or pullback is possible following the announcement, the broader market structure still favors continuation to the upside once short-term volatility settles. I'm still thinking of buying dips....

If I actually knew the future, I’d be writing this from my private island.....

Everyone is waiting Except for yesterday’s long with +10 pips, I’m waiting too. This time I want to try setting two positions with a 5–6 pip SL, but at 1 lot each, just before the news. With a bit of “luck” and a direct, strong movement in one direction – it should work. If not, and there’s a shake up and down first… well, about $100 goes up in smoke.
Always wanted to try this

You’re absolutely right. That’s why I said ‘luck’ — the right momentum, the right SL size, and an adequate lot size.

What I can say is: Maybe M200 H1 or M200 H4... If it gets to M200 H4, I'll join the Bulls.

It's a bit risky... I've been through this before.

The spread alone can increase by up to 20 pips a minute before the news.
And the gap.. can also leap over your position even 30 pips on EURUSD, and even 50 or more on other currencies (depending on a broker).
The price can leap over you SL as well, so instead of 100dollaras loss it might be 300
Once I was surprised that I had set a BUY LIMIT at 1.1700, and it opened at 1.1740...

W każdym razie... powodzenia :-)

After a few minutes of thinking, you’re right. Even a microsecond of delay at Oanda could overlap my SL and wipe out all potential profit from the opposite position.
Switching back to my standard approach — 3.5 lots and riding the clear movement.

After Powell’s speech two weeks ago, I decided to wait for the NFP numbers – and if they turned out bad, I’d start buying every dip from then on. Here we are now. Wishing you all (hopefully) successful trading weeks ahead.
Not bad so far. Now comes the next fork in the road — let’s see where it goes.

Got it. But uhhhh…. I’m in car right now, on phone app only. And of course, few minutes before time „authentication error”, „general error”
Literally one minute before - successfully logon.
