FOMO is building around the September Fed meeting… and that’s exactly what makes it dangerous.
The FOMC meets Sept. 15–16, and the market has flipped hard toward a 25 bps hike. Reuters now has 86 of 101 economists expecting a hike to 3.75%–4.00%.
But here’s the part I’m watching.
Everyone is already talking about the hike.
So what happens if the Fed actually delivers it, but Powell sounds less aggressive than expected?
That could trigger a violent move in both directions.
Hike + hawkish Fed = risk-off pressure.
Hike + “we’re done” message = FOMO can hit fast.
BTC doesn’t need a perfect setup. It just needs the market to be positioned too heavily on one side.
September FOMC isn’t just about the rate.
It’s about who gets trapped when the FOMO meets reality.
That’s where the real move could start.
