The Fed delivered the expected 25bps hike, taking the target range to 3.75%–4%.

But the real question starts now 👀

Is this just a one off hike, or the beginning of another tightening cycle?

With August core CPI still running hot at +0.3% MoM, inflation isn’t fully out of the picture.

My market map:

$BTC : Higher rates can pressure liquidity and risk assets → short-term volatility is likely.

Tech: Higher yields can weigh on growth-stock valuations.

Gold: Persistent inflation + uncertainty could keep demand supported.

For my next trades, I’m not chasing the first move. I’m watching $BTC reaction + liquidity + Fed guidance before adding risk.

The rate decision is done.
Now the positioning matters.

What are you watching BTC, tech or gold?
