Hello Binance Square Family! 👋
We are facing critical macro developments today. Here is the latest breakdown of the market status:
🏛️ CLARITY Act Fails Senate Vote: The CLARITY Act failed its Senate cloture vote 49-50, as seven Democratic negotiators who spent months on the text voted against it due to ethics provisions being too thin to address Trump's $1.2B in crypto income.
📉 Immediate Market Fallout: Following the vote, XRP fell 10%, Coinbase dropped 9%, and Circle lost 9%. Bitcoin dropped under 3%, while equities took the heavier hit as anticipated.
💸 ETF Outflows & Liquidations: ETFs shed $450M on Tuesday, marking the worst outflow since June 25, alongside $570M in futures liquidations.
📊 Correlations & Rate Hike Odds: Bitcoin's traditional correlations have broken down (the dollar link reversed from -0.54 to +0.08, and the S&P correlation halved to 0.43 in a single session). CME FedWatch shows a 92.7% probability of a 25bps hike today, targeting 3.75%-4.00%.
⚖️ Historical Precedent & Outlook: CryptoQuant's Axel Adler Jr. noted that among the seven first rate hikes since 1988, the S&P fell six weeks later in five instances (averaging -2.83%). Furthermore, Brookings' Robin Brooks warns that the market has priced in so much that the press conference will likely disappoint.
⚠️ Trader's Alert & Sentiment:
Ahead of the 2PM ET Fed decision, Talos recorded a 28% net buying tilt toward stablecoins compared to an 8% average selling tilt around prior FOMCs. Meanwhile, Bitcoin buying conviction dropped to 3% (down from 10%), and ether fell to 9% (down from 23%). Expect high volatility during today's announcements!
