Fed officials can't afford to ignore market expectations. When policy decisions clash with what traders are positioned for, the pressure gets real. Powell's next moves will be closely watched—one wrong signal and markets won't forgive it. That's how things work when you're steering the world's largest economy.

Powell really can't hold it together anymore. A single glance from the market can cause him to collapse, it's unbelievable.

This guy Powell is truly the chosen worker. One wrong word and he has the whole world suffering heavy losses with him. The market is even more ruthless than the central bank.

Hold onto the chips and wait for Powell's next move... This is the time when the sensitivity to risk factors is most tested. Missing a signal can cause the market to wipe out three months of your holdings. I've seen too many such contract loopholes, so I never hold a heavy position before policy changes.
