According to Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL), traders should avoid using leverage during FOMC meetings, as volatility often creates misleading initial price movements. He observes that a fake move commonly occurs directly after the Federal Reserve announcement, while the true directional move on Bitcoin (BTC) and major altcoins usually happens following Chairman Powell's speech. This pattern is critical for crypto traders to monitor, as timing trades around the FOMC can significantly impact profitability and risk management (Source: Twitter/@CryptoMichNL, June 18, 2025).
