FOMC September: Is a 25bp Hike the Start of a New Cycle?
The crypto and traditional markets are holding their breath as FOMC September approaches! With August core CPI rising 0.3% month-over-month, the odds of a 25bp hike this week have skyrocketed to nearly 90%. The burning question on everyone's mind: Is this a one-off adjustment, or the start of a longer hiking cycle?
If the hike lands, how does it play out across markets? For BTC, I expect short-term volatility. If the hike is fully priced in, we might see a "sell the news" relief bounce. Tech stocks will likely face continued pressure from higher borrowing costs. Meanwhile, gold might initially dip but could quickly shine as a safe-haven asset if recession fears spike.
Personally, my bias leans cautiously bearish short-term but bullish long-term for crypto.
My next move: I’m not going all-in. I’m holding my core BTC spot positions but keeping dry powder ready to buy the dip if the Fed's announcement causes a flush. I’ll be using the Trade Sharing Widget to log my exact entries and stay fully transparent.
