Most price action traders avoid trading 30 minutes before and after major news. The volatility creates false signals and spreads widen. The strategy: wait for the dust to settle, then trade the new structure that emerges.

Post-news price action is often some of the clearest — the direction is established and you can trade structure breaks and retests with confidence. The first 5-15 minutes after news is noise; 30-60 minutes after is signal.
