🚨 FOMC SEPTEMBER: IS THE FED ABOUT TO TURN HAWKISH AGAIN?

The market is no longer asking if the Fed could hike.

It’s asking: what happens after the hike?

August core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month, keeping inflation pressure alive and pushing expectations strongly toward a 25bp hike this week.

But the real trade starts after the decision.

🔴 BTC: Higher rates can tighten liquidity and pressure risk assets, but a lot depends on how much of the hike is already priced in.

🔴 Tech stocks: Higher yields can hit high-growth valuations, especially if the Fed signals more hikes ahead.

🟡 Gold: A stronger dollar and higher real yields can create pressure, but persistent inflation and policy uncertainty could support demand for safe-haven assets.

The biggest question for me:

Is this a one-off 25bp move to regain inflation credibility — or the beginning of a longer hiking cycle?

I’m watching the statement, forward guidance and market reaction more than the headline decision itself.

My rule: don’t trade the hike. Trade the repricing.

What are you holding or trading into the FOMC — BTC, stocks, or gold?
