Macro tension is building ahead of Jackson Hole with July CPI at 3.4% and Fed rates holding at 3.50%-3.75%, but derivative markets are already showing severe leverage unwinds $XRP just recorded $114M in liquidations across aggregated perpetual futures on Aug. 22 the largest single day total of 2026 and 61% higher than the next largest liquidation cascade
This is why I refuse to guess central bank speeches or trade early reactions. High volatility events mixed with over leveraged setups lead to forced liquidations rather than structured trends. My plan is to sit back, let the initial speech volatility clear and monitor the US Dollar Index and Treasury yields alongside major digital assets
