Rate fear always peaks before the meeting. Not after.
Every FOMC cycle follows the same script. Yields spike, crypto dumps, Fear & Greed hits Extreme. Everyone decides it's over. Then the meeting happens — and whether rates move or hold, the uncertainty is gone. That's when the relief rally starts.
We're 8 days out from June 18. $BTC just printed a 34% drawdown off its highs. Fear & Greed is pinned in Extreme Fear. Sounds terrible. It's also exactly where the previous two FOMC dips bottomed.
Here's what most people miss: the selloff isn't a reaction to what the Fed will do. It's a reaction to not knowing. The moment that uncertainty resolves, the bid comes back — fast.
$ETH is sitting below $2,500 with Pectra live and blob fees compressing. $SOL is trading like it doesn't have $10B in DeFi TVL.
The Clarity Act has a 24-day July 4 deadline. Stablecoins are law. FOMC is 8 days away.
The fear is real. So is the setup.
