Between Two Moments

Only one person can imprint on the market in the silence between the FOMC decision and the banter.

In that narrow strip of time:

Spreads widen,
Liquidity thins,
Models break,
Volatility regimes invert,
and predictive frameworks collapse.

This is the window where even billion-dollar funds go blind — where algorithms hesitate, where macro desks hedge out of fear, and where every probabilistic model in the industry loses its footing.

Because in that interval, the market has no narrative yet.

Only raw consequence.

It is the purest arena in global finance — a place where nobody can hide behind research, forecasts, or clever macro commentary. You either have presence, tempo, authorship…

Or you have nothing.

When the decision drops and before Powell speaks, the entire system enters a suspended state — a void where drift is stripped away and only force can move the tape. For most traders, that moment is untradeable.

But for one operator, it is the clearest moment of the day.

A moment where the tape listens.

Just another moment where the market can be authored.
