🚨 BREAKING: FED SET TO PAUSE — MARKETS ARE ADAPTING 👀📉
🇺🇸 The Federal Reserve is increasingly expected to keep interest rates unchanged in January, and the market is already pricing it in.
📊 Current odds (Dec 25):
🔒 84.5% — No rate change
✂️ 15.5% — 25bps cut
🎁 Looks like no early New Year gift from the Fed.
🧠 WHAT THE MARKET IS SAYING:
▪️ January rate-cut hopes are fading fast
▪️ Easing expectations are being pushed further out
▪️ “Higher for longer” is becoming the base case
💸 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CRYPTO:
▪️ Stronger USD = pressure on risk assets
▪️ Liquidity remains tight
▪️ ETF inflows slow down
▪️ Stablecoin supply shrinks
▪️ Less macro tailwind = more dependence on narratives & momentum
📌 Until policy support returns, crypto stays volatile and selective — driven more by hype, trends, and rotations than by macro easing.
