🔥 FOMC SEPTEMBER: THE RATE HIKE THAT COULD MOVE EVERYTHING! 🔥
The Fed is back in the spotlight — and this time, the market is watching every word. 👀
August Core CPI rose 0.3% MoM, while headline inflation hit 3.4% YoY. With inflation still sticky, markets are now pricing a very high probability of a 25 bps Fed rate hike this week.
But here’s the BIG question:
📌 Is this just a one-off hike — or the beginning of a new tightening cycle?
If the Fed delivers +25 bps:
₿ BTC: Higher rates and a stronger dollar could create short-term pressure, but if the hike is already fully priced in, BTC could surprise with a “sell the rumor, buy the news” reaction.
📉 Tech Stocks: Higher yields usually increase pressure on high-growth/AI stocks because future earnings become less attractive when discount rates rise.
🥇 Gold: A hawkish Fed and stronger dollar can weigh on gold initially, but persistent inflation and geopolitical risk could keep long-term demand strong.
⚠️ The real market-moving event may NOT be the 25 bps itself.
It could be the Fed’s next-message guidance.
If Powell/Warsh signals “more hikes ahead” → risk-off?
If the message is “one-and-done” → relief rally? 🚀
The next 24 hours could decide whether traders get a BTC dump, stock shakeout, gold breakout — or a complete reversal.
🔥 My question to the market:
25 bps hike — BUY THE DIP or SELL THE NEWS?
What are you watching: BTC, Tech Stocks, or Gold?
