FOMC SEPTEMBER: A SINGLE MOVE OR A NEW RATE-CYCLE SIGNAL?
The Fed is once again sitting at the center of the market, and this decision could create serious volatility across crypto and traditional markets.
August core CPI came in at 0.3% MoM, while expectations for a 25bp rate hike are approaching 90%. But the real story may not be the hike itself.
Markets have already been preparing for it. The bigger reaction could come from Powell’s message.
⚠️ A clearly hawkish Fed could pressure BTC and tech stocks as liquidity conditions tighten.
🚀 But if the hike happens and Powell sounds more balanced than expected, the market could react in the opposite direction with a relief rally.
For Bitcoin, the key question is not simply “Will the Fed hike?”
It’s “What comes next?”
The first volatility could be misleading, so watching BTC’s reaction after the initial move may be more important than predicting the announcement.
One-and-done move, or the beginning of a longer tightening cycle? 👀
