🚨 The Fed Decision Is NOT the Real Story
The market is already expecting a 25bp rate hike. So the bigger question is not “Will the Fed hike?” — it is:
👉 What will the Fed tell us about the NEXT move?
August core CPI came in at +0.3% month-over-month, keeping inflation firmly on the radar. If the Fed delivers the expected 25bp hike and signals that rates may stay higher for longer, risk assets could face another wave of selling.
₿ BTC: Higher yields and tighter liquidity could create downside pressure, especially if key support levels break.
💻 Technology stocks: High-growth companies could suffer as higher rates increase the discount rate applied to future earnings.
🥇 Gold: Higher yields and a stronger dollar could weigh on gold, although inflation and geopolitical risks could provide support.
But there is another scenario…
If the 25bp hike is effectively the final move and the Fed signals a less aggressive path afterward, we could see a sharp “sell the news → buy the relief” reaction across BTC and technology stocks.
My strategy? I don't chase the first candle.
After the announcement, I will watch BTC volume, candle closes, support/resistance and market reaction before entering. If the setup isn't clear, I stay out. Protecting capital is more important than catching every move.
🔥 What do you think?
25bp hike = the beginning of a longer tightening cycle, or the final move before the Fed turns more dovish?
