VOLATILITY COULD GET EVEN CRAZIER TODAY.
Yesterday, the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, with the vote ending 49–50, falling short of the 60 votes needed to move the bill forward. That rejection immediately added more pressure and volatility to $BTC & the crypto market.
And now, we have another major catalyst today.
🇺🇸 THE FED INTEREST RATE DECISION
📅 Today — September 16
⏰ 2:00 PM ET: Interest Rate Decision
🎙️ 2:30 PM ET: Fed Press Conference
Current: 3.50% – 3.75%
Market forecast: 3.75% – 4.00%
The market is currently pricing in a high probability of a 25-basis-point hike.
Here are the scenarios I’m watching:
➡️ HIKE = Potential downside pressure and increased volatility
➡️ HOLD = Potential relief rally
➡️ CUT = Potentially stronger risk-on reaction
But remember: the reaction may depend just as much on the Fed's statement, economic projections, and press conference as the rate decision itself.
Today could be a VERY volatile day for $BTC & the crypto market.
Manage your risk accordingly. Don't overleverage.
