$XRP has surged roughly 8–9% to around $1.48, helped by the CLARITY Act breakthrough and a short squeeze catching bearish traders off guard.

Semis don’t necessarily fear one rate hike.

What hurts more is the idea that rates could keep rising with no clear end in sight.

That’s why I’m paying more attention to the Fed’s guidance than the headline decision. If markets see a clearer peak, focus could shift back to chip demand, earnings and AI spending.

$BTC could also react quickly to any change in rate expectations.

I’ve got the semiconductor setup open on BingX TradFi. The Fed’s message may matter more than the rate itself.
