The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) rate decision is one of the most highly anticipated events on economic calendar. The announcement is designed to inform everyone about the US Federal Reserve’s decision regarding interest rates. A policy to increase, decrease or even keep key interest rates the same can have large effects on the currency market.
Once the FOMC releases their key interest rate decision it is also important to look for statements directly from the Fed. These statements can give traders hints at the Feds outlook on the future of the US economy as well as future rate decisions. Traders will often price in what they think will be the Fed’s next move making statements almost as important as the rate decision itself.

I came to know about the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and also the FOMC system.
Maybe for some people who don't know about it.

The FOMC is an important news that is often awaited by traders, indeed the FOMC news analysis is often applied in accordance with the prediction of the previous results and reality and sometimes the price actually reverses, maybe it's because of leaky news or act of speculators who make zig zag prices.

The FOMC is the most awaited news it's just that the FOMC news isn't as it used to be, it's not volatile now

when the FOMC announces interest rates usually the USD price will move with high volatility

The FOMC needs to be known because reading the news release FOMC can help in the analysis we do.

sometimes the news that has been long awaited does not have a shocking effect and makes traders disappointed but it really depends on the difference between the release of the previous news and forecast and from the issues that appeared before the FOMC release.

The FOMC is still inferior to the NFP but the movement at the FOMC is better for trading because it is usually zigzagged.

The FOMC is economic news from the United States that discusses the number of workers and the number of unemployed, usually the effect is quite large in the market.
