Markets are now pricing roughly a 90% chance of a 25bp Fed rate hike this week after hotter inflation and $100+ oil strengthened inflation concerns.
For me, the rate hike itself may NOT be the biggest surprise.
The real market mover could be what the Fed signals after the hike. 👀
📉 Hawkish guidance → pressure on $BTC , tech stocks and risk assets
📈 Hike + softer outlook → possible relief rally
🥇 Gold could stay volatile as traders balance higher rates against inflation and geopolitical risk
🔮 My view — speculation: I’m not chasing the first BTC candle.
My setup:
Fed decision → Price reaction → Volume → Confirmation.
The first move can be a trap. The second move may reveal the real direction.
👀 What do you expect: BTC rally or another correction?
