๐Ÿšจ FED MINUTES WERE HAWKISH โ€” BUT IS THE FED ALREADY TOO LATE? ๐Ÿ‘€
The September FOMC minutes came across as extremely hawkish, with 16 of 18 officials supporting continued rate hikes through year-end. ๐Ÿ“ˆ
At first, markets were confused.
But then the bigger picture became clear:
๐ŸŒก๏ธ PCE inflation: 3.4%
๐Ÿ‘ท Jobs added: just 29K
๐Ÿ“‰ Labor market: showing signs of weakness
And thatโ€™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.
โš ๏ธ 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 โ†“ + weaker jobs โ†’ October pause โ†’ potential relief for risk assets
vs.
Inflation โ†‘ + higher yields โ†’ renewed Fed pressure โ†’ crypto volatility
๐Ÿ‘€ Watch CPI, Treasury yields and BTC liquidity closely.
The Fed may control the rates โ€” but the data controls the Fed.
