Fed just bumped rates 25bps. Classic late-cycle tightening move — liquidity gets squeezed a bit more, risk assets feel it first. For $BTC, this usually means short-term pressure as DXY firms up and yields stay elevated. But here's the thing: rate hikes this late in the cycle often mark the final push before a pivot. Watch how price reacts around current support — if we hold structure here, it's a sign the market's already pricing in the end of this tightening phase. Timing-wise, we're in a window where macro headwinds and cycle math could be setting up the next major move. Don't chase the fear; respect the levels.
