Fed decision is tomorrow, Wed Oct 28. Times and the facts to watch, from federalreserve.gov:

- Statement at 2:00 PM ET = 11:00 AM PT = 18:00 UTC (US clocks don't change until Nov 1, so the US-Europe gap is still an hour off this week). The Chair's press conference follows.
- Starting point: in September the FOMC voted 12-0 to RAISE the target range by 0.25 pts to 3.75-4.00%.
- No new dot plot this time. Projections only come with the starred meetings (Sept and Dec).
- Live BTC on mempool.space just now: $80,692.

What to watch: the vote count, any dissents, and whether the wording on further hikes changes. The full statement and implementation note go up on federalreserve.gov at release time.
