Have you noticed how most traders are completely misinterpreting the macro setup right now?
Retail keeps longing local tops right before major volatility events, only to get stopped out the second liquidity sweeps both sides of the book.
The consensus is hyper-fixated on the near 90% probability of a 25bp move following August core CPI ticking up 0.3% MoM. Everyone is treating this as a simple binary event, but reacting to the announcement itself is the easiest way to bleed capital. Instead of front-running the Fed, watch how $BTC absorbs the initial liquidity wick. If spot demand fails to defend structural support immediately after the release, high-beta assets like $ETH and $SOL will face the sharpest drawdown.
The real edge is waiting for the initial reaction to exhaust before positioning into the trend.
