March 18th - Showdown with the Federal Reserve! Can lottery odds turn into winnings!

Early Thursday morning, the Federal Reserve interest rate decision will be announced. Even though the market expects a 99% probability that interest rates will remain unchanged, the Fed's focus has never been on the data itself. Everything in the speculative market moves following expectations. Therefore, Powell's remarks and subsequent economic intervention policies are the key points. Please pay attention to the FOMC meeting early in the morning for specific details.

BTC: Currently, there are no obvious trend reversal signals at the major level. After a prolonged consolidation in February and a breakout in March, we are now approaching a resistance zone ahead. The first round of targets has been basically completed, taking a brief rest to see whether this is calling it a day or continuing to push forward and "let the bullet fly for a while." Intraday, pay attention to the 74400-74900 small box range, which has formed short-term price suppression. Support below is in the 72200-73000 box range. The middle area between these two boxes is where we can operate with oscillations. Both shorting highs and going long on lows are viable. If you only want to trade trend moves, you can wait for the news to land before seizing the opportunity. After all, the big coin's target of 78500 hasn't been reached yet, and there's plenty of room.

ETH: The night market consolidated weakly at the lower rail of the 2340-2380 box range from yesterday morning. Currently, it has formed a new consolidation box with 2300 as the lower rail and 2340 as the upper rail. Watch this level. If we break 2340, we'll charge toward higher targets. There's still plenty of room above 2380, and the 2800 big box can be seen as a repair target for the bulls. If we break below 2300, it could weaken and find space at 2268. The major level still shows bullish strength. Short positions can only participate with small positions. Personally, I'm more inclined to look for opportunities to buy dips and bet on the next round of gains.
