FED decision drops in 6 hours. Here's what actually matters:
Rate sits at 3.75-4% after September hike. Market pricing 90% chance they hold.
Why you care: Higher rates = expensive debt = economy cools = stocks and crypto get rekt. Lower rates = risk-on.
The real alpha isn't the decision, it's Warsh's tone:
- Dovish lean on weak employment data = bullish for risk assets
- Tomorrow's PCE inflation print is the wildcard. Hot number = December hike locked in = bearish
A pause today gives $BTC and equities breathing room before elections. But if Warsh signals December hike is still live, expect chop.
Market's watching the dots, not the decision. Positioning matters more than headlines right now.
