Since Wednesday’s FOMC announcement, the tape has been doing something familiar — and dangerous.

Moves that looked clean… failed.
Breakouts that drew in buyers… reversed hard.
Trades that felt “right”… turned into traps.

That’s not coincidence.

It’s exactly what tends to happen after major policy events.

When the dust settles, the market doesn’t immediately trend — it creates motion meant to mislead. Convincing pushes that lack real pressure. Breakouts engineered to invite participation… before pulling the rug.

If you don’t know how to tell the difference between real expansion and manufactured movement, you end up paying tuition over and over again.

That’s why I want to make sure you see this.

The replay of my free Squeeze Traps training is still available for a short time:

Inside the session, I break down:

• Why post-FOMC environments are a breeding ground for traps
• How to identify pressure-based moves before price confirms
• The key differences between real expansions and liquidity-driven fakes
• Why traditional indicators and textbook patterns keep failing
• How this framework applies across stocks, indices, and sectors

This isn’t theory. Seeing these setups early has led to results like:

• KSS +375% in 13 days
• RKT +150% in 25 hours
• PLUG +206% in 5 days

Different names. Different speeds. Same core principle:

The signal was there before the move became obvious.

I know — inboxes are full. There’s always another replay, another strategy, another promise.

But this isn’t about finding more trades.

It’s about mastering one of the most important skills in today’s market:

Knowing when to stay out.

With volatility behaving the way it is right now, that skill isn’t optional.

Once you understand Squeeze Traps, you’ll start seeing price action differently — and avoiding the kinds of losses that don’t need to happen.

Don’t wait until next week to realize what just happened.
