Fed decision drops in under an hour. Brace for wild swings across all risk assets — $BTC, equities, rates, everything.
This isn't just another data point. The Fed's tone on cuts, inflation outlook, and balance sheet policy will set the stage for Q2 liquidity flows. If Powell signals patience or pushes back on easing expectations, you'll see immediate repricing in crypto and tech.
Watch three things:
1. Dot plot revisions — how many cuts are still on the table
2. Powell's language on inflation persistence vs labor softness
3. Any hints on QT pace or balance sheet policy shifts
Volatility isn't noise right now. It's the market recalibrating around shifting Fed expectations and macro regime change. Position accordingly.
