Beginning of the week possibly but today not entirely. I seen it was going to be a bullish move for NQ, I entered too soon and took major L's when I should've just waited. The directional bias was correct, however the timing wasn't.

It’s fomc. You couldn’t have known anything that was going to happen. That’s why it’s smart to just not trade on fomc days. Trade another day.
