Market’s in a weird spot today. BTC dropped to $64,541, down 2% in the last 24 hours. The fear & greed index is at 15 — extreme fear. Not surprising given the macro shift we’re seeing. The big story is the Fed. Multiple sources now talking about potential rate hikes this year, not cuts. That’s a major reversal from just weeks ago. Gold holding firm at $4,328 tells you safe-haven demand is still there despite that hawkish talk. Dollar steady against INR at 94.52. On the technical side, BTC’s RSI is neutral at 45, MACD bearish, and price is consolidating between $63,678 support and $64,762 resistance. Volume is low — 0.25x average — but OBV is up, suggesting some accumulation happening quietly. Sector-wise, everything’s red except “Other” which is barely green. DeFi down 8%, AI down 5.7%, Layer1 down 3%. Meme coins also getting hit. UNI leading the losers with -8%. News flow is mixed. Arthur Hayes bought 1,500 ETH from Cumberland. CME is suing the CFTC over perpetual futures approval. And there’s chatter about prediction markets and corporate hedging — interesting but not moving prices right now. My view: this feels like a waiting game. Macro uncertainty (Fed rate hike risk) + bearish technicals + extreme fear = not a great setup for aggressive trades. I’m staying on the sidelines until we get clearer direction. What about you — holding through this or cutting positions?
