Everyone thinks the rate hike drama is over, but actually most degens are walking straight into a macro trap right now.
Most traders keep getting chopped up trying to long local bottoms, completely ignoring what the macro environment is signaling until their stops get hunted.
Markets are currently pricing in an 87% chance of a 25bp rate hike at the next meeting, which means tighter monetary policy is basically locked in. When conviction hits numbers that high, liquidity tends to dry up fast, leaving $BTC exposed to massive downside volatility if the Fed decides to stay hawkish longer than expected.
Looking at past cases where rate hikes were heavily front-run, altcoins like $ETH and $BNB usually take the hardest hit while capital runs back into cash. Betting on an easy breakout when the macro side is this tight ngl just feels like asking to get liquidated.
Where do you think $BTC heads once the decision goes live?
