Zoomex brings the week’s biggest ETF stories onto a single, rule-based derivatives venue, giving traders easy-to-use exposure to SPY, QQQ, IWM, XLF, XLK, and TQQQ ahead of this week’s interest rate decision.
Global markets are entering a high volatility stretch. With a Federal Reserve rate decision on the horizon, traditional finance benchmarks from the S&P 500 to the Nasdaq 100 are already showing the kind of movement that traders live for. Zoomex, a global cryptocurrency trading platform focused on derivatives trading, is putting this week’s ETF landscape front and center through its TradFi Stock Perpetuals lineup, giving users a transparent-by-design way to position around the macro narrative without leaving the platform.
This Week’s Market Focus
Zoomex’s internal Market Focus dashboard highlights six ETF-linked perpetual contracts that together capture the market’s current mood: cautious, sector-divided, and highly sensitive to rate expectations.

SPYUSDT, tracking the S&P 500 through the SPDR benchmark, is trading at 760.29, down 0.68% over the past 24 hours, with volume of 893.44. As the most widely watched gauge of the broad US equity market, SPY’s pullback reflects the same rate anxiety rippling across risk assets.

QQQUSDT, mirroring the Nasdaq 100, sits at 708.78 after a 0.96% dip, with the heaviest 24h volume of the group at 1.59K. Tech-heavy exposure tends to be the most rate-sensitive corner of the market, and that sensitivity is on full display this week.

IWMUSDT, linked to the Russell 2000 small-cap index, is priced at 288.21, off 0.26% with volume of 168.02. Small caps have held up relatively better than their large-cap counterparts so far, a detail worth watching as the Fed decision approaches.

XLFUSDT, tracking the Financial Select Sector SPDR fund, trades at 56.60, down 1.61%, with volume of 47.29. Financials are typically among the most directly exposed sectors to interest rate moves, which helps explain the sharper drawdown here.

XLKUSDT, following the Technology Select Sector SPDR fund, is one of the few names in the green this week, up 0.22% to 189.51, with volume of 58.10. That divergence from the broader Nasdaq 100 move is exactly the kind of sector-level nuance that Fair Access & Rule-Based Execution allows traders to act on with precision.

TQQQUSDT, the leveraged 3x Nasdaq 100 product, shows the most pronounced move of the set, down 2.36% to 69.46, with volume of 7.85K. Leveraged ETF perpetuals amplify the underlying index’s swings, making TQQQ a focal point for traders looking to express a high-conviction, short-term view on tech sentiment heading into the Fed announcement.

Why ETF Perpetuals, and Why Now
Traditional ETFs have always given investors a simple way to gain diversified exposure to an index or sector without picking individual stocks. Zoomex’s TradFi Stock Perpetuals extend that same logic into the derivatives space, letting users trade the price action of SPY, QQQ, IWM, XLF, XLK, and TQQQ around the clock, with the flexibility of perpetual futures rather than the constraints of traditional market hours.
This matters most in weeks like this one. A Fed rate decision can move markets sharply within minutes of the announcement, and traditional exchanges are not always open when the reaction happens. By listing these ETFs as USDT-margined perpetual contracts, Zoomex gives traders a way to respond to macro catalysts in real time, backed by a platform that is focused on derivatives from the ground up rather than treating them as an afterthought.
Every contract on the Market Focus list can be traded directly via Zoomex, using the same interface, margining logic, and risk tools that apply across the exchange’s broader derivatives suite. There is no need to juggle separate brokerage accounts for equities and a separate venue for crypto exposure. It all happens in one place, built around a refined brand & trading experience that keeps the interface clean even when the underlying market data gets noisy.
Trading With Clarity Going Into the Fed Decision
Zoomex’s approach to TradFi assets follows the same principles that shape the rest of the platform. Pricing, funding rates, and liquidation logic are laid out clearly, reinforcing the transparent-by-design standard that traders have come to expect. Access to these contracts is not gated behind complex onboarding or opaque eligibility rules; it follows the same Fair Access & Rule-Based Execution framework applied consistently across Zoomex’s product suite. And for traders who are new to derivatives but familiar with ETFs from traditional markets, the learning curve is intentionally shallow, another expression of the platform’s easy-to-use design philosophy.
With the Fed decision looming, volatility across SPY, QQQ, IWM, XLF, XLK, and TQQQ is unlikely to fade soon. Whether the move is a broad market reaction like the one currently pressuring SPYUSDT and QQQUSDT, a sector-specific divergence like the split between XLFUSDT and XLKUSDT, or an amplified leveraged swing like the one hitting TQQQUSDT, Zoomex users can track and trade all of it from a single dashboard.
