#FedHikeOddsRiseTo89% 🔥 Fed rate hike odds are surging just hours before the FOMC decision — and crypto markets are on edge.
📰 With the Fed's rate call due Sept 16, prediction markets (Polymarket, CME FedWatch) now price the odds of a 25bps hike near 89%, up sharply from under 50% in mid-August. The shift follows hotter-than-expected August inflation (core PCE near 3.7%), a resilient jobs report, and oil prices near $100/barrel on Middle East supply concerns. A hike would be the Fed's first since 2023.
📊 Higher rates typically strengthen the dollar and lift Treasury yields — a headwind for risk assets, including crypto.
💰 $BTC is holding near $78K after cooling from recent highs, with spot Bitcoin ETF flows turning choppy this week. $ETH and altcoins remain highly sensitive to tomorrow's statement — a hawkish tone could trigger further downside, while dovish forward guidance may spark a relief rally.
💬 Hike, hold, or surprise? Drop your prediction below! 👇
