#FedRateWatch
The Federal Reserve meets this week and the market is on edge. After August Core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month, hotter than expected, the odds of a 25 basis point rate hike have shot up to nearly 90%. For months everyone expected rate cuts, but now a surprise hike is back on the table.
I believe yes, the Fed will deliver a 25bp hike this week. Inflation is proving sticky and Powell needs to show he is still serious about controlling it. However, I do not see this as the start of a long hiking cycle. This looks like a one-off hawkish move. The job market is weakening, growth is slowing, and the economy cannot handle many more hikes. This hike will likely be used to buy time, not to start a new tightening era. After this, the Fed will probably pause again.
What does a hike mean for BTC, Tech Stocks, and Gold?
A rate hike is initially bearish for risk assets.
For $BTC BTC, expect short-term volatility and a quick dip. Higher rates mean less liquidity, so BTC could drop 3-5% right after the decision. But the dip may not last long. Bitcoin often recovers quickly when the market realizes this is a one-time hike, not a long cycle.
For Tech Stocks, it is more bearish. Tech companies depend on cheap money for growth. A hike will push the Nasdaq down and put pressure on stocks like NVDA and TSLA.
For $XAUT Gold, it is mixed but ultimately bullish. Gold may dip at first with a stronger dollar, but if investors feel the Fed is making a policy mistake by hiking into a weak economy, gold will become a safe-haven again and rally hard later.
✨I am not taking heavy leverage before the meeting.
✨My plan is simple: Holding my BTC spot position, with buy orders ready lower if we get a wick.
✨Holding Gold as a hedge against uncertainty. And staying in cash for tech stocks until the FOMC volatility is over. The best move is to wait for Powell's press conference, not to gamble before it.
What is your strategy? Are you buying or selling?
