🚨Everyone asking “why crypto is so weak” — look at the backdrop.
Fed paused at 3.5–3.75%. No rescue cut this time. Inflation still sticky (PCE ~2.8%), Powell basically saying rates are fine here. Jobs are cooling (+50K NFP) but not breaking. That combo = risk-off.
Now zoom out…
Crypto Fear & Greed is sitting in Extreme Fear (~20). That’s not euphoria, that’s confusion + capitulation 😮💨
This is the part most traders miss:
Markets don’t bottom on good news.
They bottom when bad news stops getting worse.
Right now:
• Inflation isn’t exploding
• Labor is softening, not collapsing
• Fed already cut before, now just waiting
Yet sentiment is pricing in disaster.
I’m not saying “buy blindly”. I’m saying fear like this usually marks opportunity zones, not tops. When everyone believes “Fed won’t save us” and “crypto is dead again”, risk/reward quietly flips 🧠
Stay patient. Manage risk. Let panic do what it always does — create mispricing.
