It's hard to make real money with options during Fed cuts?

During this 0.75% surprise rate cut, purchased some .QQQFR (QQQQ June $44 Call) options.

Altough I catched most of the upside move, only made modest profits.

Options were expensive, volatility jacked up.
So, during Fed cuts options are not a good choice?
(Unless you buy them some days earlier, with volatilty premium at still reasonable levels)?
 
IV sharply increases during big sell-offs, it has nothing to do with "fed cuts". QQQQ options will be a cheap again when the market settles down.

NQ mini futures might be the better choice at this time.
