Every time the US central bank (the Fed) meets, traders try to guess if they will lower interest rates soon.
Lower rates = more money flowing = good for Bitcoin & crypto prices Yesterday, after the Fed meeting, the “betting market” (called FedWatch) suddenly changed: Before: people thought there’s a big chance the Fed cuts rates in January
Now: only ~20% chance of a cut, 80% chance they do NOTHING
So the market is saying: “No cheap money party in January… we have to wait longer.”Crypto traders are angry and sad because no rate cut = less rocket fuel for prices right now
That’s why the meme shows Jerome Powell (the Fed boss) giving the middle finger – everyone feels trolled.Short version:
The Fed just made crypto wait longer for the “money printer” to turn back on.
That’s why prices feel heavy today.
