fear & greed ticked down to 48 today, still neutral, and to me thats a market holding its breath not a market that is scared

nobody wants to commit size the day the fed starts its meeting. decision lands tomorrow evening our time and everyone is just waiting

$BTC, $ETH and $SOL are all a touch red, nothing dramatic. funding is sitting at baseline so there is no crowded side to flush yet

btc dominance is still parked high, so alts keep waiting their turn

my positioning is simple. no leverage into fomc, slow spot adds while sentiment sits neutral, and i let the fed pick the next leg

index from alternative.me

buying the quiet before fomc or waiting for the decision ?
