The Fed's September decision could create very different reactions across BTC, technology stocks, and gold. With August core CPI rising 0.3% month-over-month, markets have moved strongly toward pricing a 25bp hike.
For BTC, higher rates can create short-term pressure because liquidity becomes more expensive, but much depends on whether the hike is already priced in. If the Fed sounds less aggressive after raising rates, Bitcoin could react positively. Tech stocks face a similar situation because higher yields can pressure high-growth valuations, especially when investors become less willing to pay high multiples. Gold is more complicated. A stronger dollar and higher real yields can weigh on gold, but inflation concerns and uncertainty can keep demand supported.
My plan is not to chase the first move after the announcement. I would rather wait for the market to digest the statement and then watch whether BTC, tech, and gold confirm or reject the initial reaction. The first move is not always the real move.
