FOMC Sweep Reaction

AP Capital – FOMC Sweep Reaction v1.0

AP Capital – FOMC Sweep Reaction v1.0 is a news-reaction and liquidity-based trading tool designed specifically to track and trade FOMC volatility on Gold (XAUUSD) and other highly reactive instruments.

The indicator focuses on liquidity sweeps, structure breaks, and EMA reclaims that commonly occur around Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions and Powell speeches, helping traders identify high-probability reversal or continuation moves after the initial spike.

🔍 What This Indicator Detects

This tool highlights the most repeatable FOMC behaviours observed across multiple months of broker data:

• Sweeps of previous day’s high or low
• Stop-hunt wicks into liquidity pools
• EMA13 reclaim after the news spike
• Break and close beyond short-term structure
• Momentum shift following volatility exhaustion

The goal is not to predict the news, but to react to confirmed price behaviour after liquidity has been taken.

📌 Core Features

• FOMC Sweep Detection

Identifies aggressive wicks into prior highs/lows during news volatility

• EMA Reclaim Confirmation

Uses EMA13 to validate momentum shift after the sweep
