【What is the market trading?】 Current BTC options traders are集中 reducing their hedging positions ahead of the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate decision. The core logic is that the market’s expectations for the amount of volatility around this rate decision are relatively low, with the mainstream view being that the current rates will remain unchanged. 【What is really worth watching】 Reducing hedging positions means that the near-term volatility risk premium will narrow; however, if the Fed signals a more hawkish rate-cut path than expected, markets that lack hedging buffers can easily fall into a liquidity scramble, which in turn can amplify volatility. 【Monitor over the next 48 hours】 Pay close attention to the wording in the Fed’s rate decision, adjustments in the dot plot regarding the number of rate cuts expected within the year, and Powell’s post-meeting remarks on the resilience of inflation. If the signals indicate only 1 rate cut within the year, the probability of BTC coming under significant pressure will rise materially. #BTC
