Weekly Trading Analysis: FOMC Week 4 — Protect Capital & Stay Discipline | DXY, NQ, ES

Описание: http://TheDevelopingTrader.com

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen — it’s TDT with this week’s weekly market analysis.

This is a high-impact week with FOMC on Wednesday at 2:00 PM, and that means volatility, uncertainty, and capital protection come first.

In this video, I cover:

Key U.S. economic news happening Monday through Friday

How markets typically behave leading into FOMC

Why price often becomes wicky, erratic, and less precise

Why forcing trades during consolidation can be costly

Market breakdowns:

DXY (Dollar Index):

Interaction with weekly and monthly gaps

Liquidity taken from prior highs/lows

What bullish vs bearish continuation would look like into FOMC

NASDAQ (NQ):

Ongoing January consolidation

Weekly liquidity sweep without full breakdown

Why I’m not fully bearish — but also not aggressive long

S&P 500 (ES):

Structure already broken to the downside

SMT divergence considerations

Why ES currently looks more vulnerable than NASDAQ

This is not about predicting — it’s about reading what price is doing, managing risk, and staying mentally disciplined during difficult market conditions.

January is often messy.
FOMC weeks are often deceptive.
There is nothing wrong with waiting.

As always, this is educational content only — not financial advice.
