Picture this: last week crypto traders hit the brakes as the total market fell about 2 percent and $BTC dropped below 76,000 ahead of two major events.
You know the pain of watching your positions erode while waiting on the Fed and Congress. It leaves you never quite sure if you should cut losses or ride it out through the volatility.
The Fed decision lands Wednesday with markets now pricing a 92 percent plus chance of a 25 basis point hike, yet the Senate just failed to advance the CLARITY Act on a 50-49 cloture vote. This combination of tighter money and stalled regulation creates the kind of uncertainty that has burned traders before.
It reminds me of 2022 when similar hawkish Fed language after hikes sent $ETH and $SOL tumbling in the wake of $BTC weakness, proving that the words afterward matter far more than the rate change itself. We learned then that signaling more hikes can crush risk assets for months.
The bigger question now is what Kevin Warsh says after the decision. If officials hint at further tightening, we could see another drop, underscoring how these macro and policy events still dictate crypto's path.
Where do you think this goes from here?
