Here's what happened when markets priced in a 92% chance of a 25-bps Fed hike.
Most crypto traders treat Fed meetings as distant background noise until their $BTC bags start bleeding. They miss the window to de-risk because they never connected the dots on how rate hikes choke liquidity.
The shift happened quietly. Odds climbed above 92 percent for a 25 basis point increase, turning it from possibility to near-certainty. Higher rates typically strengthen the dollar and pull money out of speculative assets. That environment has historically pressured $ETH as well, with capital rotating toward safer yields.
The warning is in the details. Even when a hike is fully priced, the accompanying commentary can still trigger a sharp unwind in leveraged positions. Alts like $SOL tend to get hit harder in those moments. Most people are still watching charts instead of these probabilities.
Where do you think this goes from here?
