🚹 FED MINUTES WERE HAWKISH — BUT IS THE FED ALREADY TOO LATE? 👀
The September FOMC minutes came across as extremely hawkish, with 16 of 18 officials supporting continued rate hikes through year-end. 📈
At first, markets were confused.
But then the bigger picture became clear:
đŸŒĄïž PCE inflation: 3.4%
đŸ‘· Jobs added: just 29K
📉 Labor market: showing signs of weakness
And that’s why #FedMinutesFocusOnOctoberPause is becoming the key narrative.
Markets are now pricing roughly an 80% probability of an October pause, as traders expect the Fed to potentially soften its stance.
⚠ BUT DECEMBER IS A DIFFERENT STORY.
If inflation starts rising again, the Fed could remain hawkish and keep another hike on the table.
For crypto, the next major battle is between:
Inflation ↓ + weaker jobs → October pause → potential relief for risk assets
vs.
Inflation ↑ + higher yields → renewed Fed pressure → crypto volatility
👀 Watch CPI, Treasury yields and BTC liquidity closely.
The Fed may control the rates — but the data controls the Fed.
