Before the Storm: Trump is in trouble, rate hikes are coming, and the crypto market is quietly rising
Trump can’t hold the room together anymore.
With 47 days left until the midterm elections, three signals are all slapping him in the face: the Fed’s 12 board members unanimously raised rates; Trump called for rate cuts but nobody listened; the crypto bill was overturned by an internal revolt; and an Iran war proposal passed after seven Republicans defected.
What capital markets fear most isn’t the rate hike—it’s the possibility that Trump is truly impeached and forced out.
On September 16, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4%. First time in three years. Europe, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have already followed suit, and Japan is next. When money gets more expensive, US stocks and gold face short-term pressure. China A-shares’ sentiment is dragged down, but domestic factors can offset it.
A sharp one-two from Voosh: the price-up inflation pressure is still expanding—54% of categories are rising, far above the 32% before the pandemic. But to put it plainly: this is emergency posturing, not the start of a new tightening cycle.
The SEC opens a back door directly: stocks are going to be tokenized—five-year exemptions, and compliant exchanges can buy freely. Hong Kong’s wholesale CBDC is set to launch by year-end, with 7×24 settlement. The wall is starting to get thinner.
Crypto doesn’t care about rate hikes. With BTC back above 78,000, shorts are being liquidated and pushed along. The House pushes the reserve bill, locking BTC for 20 years. BlackRock sweeps $1.5 billion of ETH in 20 days. Sentiment shifts from panic to doubt—doubt is the starting point of a bull market.
Three coins are going wild:
$ZEC ——the privacy-coin big brother. The Grayscale ETF drew $500 million in two weeks; Paradigm has entered; shorts—$124 million—are being rubbed the wrong way. Pullbacks to 1400-1440 are the buy zone.
$UNI ——the DEX leader, with 80% of on-chain trades routed through it. The SEC grants tokenized stock exemptions; once the Fee Switch is on, it can repurchase and burn. But RSI at 88 is overbought—don’t chase; wait for a retrace to 8.0-8.2.
$ARB ——the L2 king, the preferred choice for the RWA migration. Big money inflows net positive; whales account for 43%. RSI at 92 hints at a short-term pullback; 0.18-0.19 holds it. For the mid-term, look for 0.3+.
One strategy, that’s it: sell when the crowd is roaring, buy when nobody’s paying attention. Accumulate spot in batches—don’t chase highs. Hold on and don’t get left behind.
