ETHUSDT: Five Reactions, One FOMC Session, Same Read

Wait 5 sec.

ETHUSDT: Five Reactions, One FOMC Session, Same ReadETHUSDT Perpetual ContractBYBIT:ETHUSDT.PTheChartWhisperrFive reaction points now on this chart, four longs and one short, spanning the 24 hours through FOMC. The first blue circle near 1,780 caught the low before the sharp move to 1,940. The red circle marks the short right at that high, price topping and rolling over into the mid-1,800s. The blue circle near 1,800 caught that decline's low before the climb back through 1,940 to 1,975. The next blue circle near 1,860 caught the pullback low ahead of the push toward 1,975 again. The most recent blue circle near 1,890, right through the FOMC window, caught the latest low before the current push back to 1,903.86. That last one is the one worth sitting with. FOMC sessions are exactly when reaction-based reading gets tested hardest, volatility spikes, wicks extend further than usual, and the temptation to react to the headline instead of the structure is highest. The reaction point held anyway. Gate one bias didn't change because of a rate decision, gate two zone didn't move because volatility picked up, and gate three still waited for the market to actually show the reversal before anything triggered. This is the whole discipline Continuation Acceleration Protocol is built around holding through news events specifically: the framework doesn't get an exception for FOMC. The same three gates that worked on the 14th worked through the announcement on the 28th into the 29th. Price remains well below POC at 2,064.67, still the standing target since this chart's first version. TP1 sits just under it, unchanged. Marcus Aurelius wrote to confine yourself to the present. FOMC brought noise. The reaction points didn't need the headline to already know where they were.
