🚨 ALERT: FED JUST SHIFTED THE GAME
Powell's latest statement has traders scrambling. Here's what nobody's talking about
The Fed admitted their inflation projections fell apart - their own words. December inflation came in at 2.9%, hotter than expected. And guess what? They're now signaling FEWER rate cuts in 2025.
What this means for crypto:
The market's been pricing in easy money. Now we're looking at a longer fight with inflation. Bitcoin reacted immediately, and altcoins are feeling the pressure.
Here's the thing though higher rates usually mean risk-off. But BTC has shown it can climb walls of worry. We've seen this movie before in 2023.
My take?
Watch the next CPI print like a hawk. If inflation stays sticky above 2.5%, we could see extended consolidation. But if it cools faster than expected, we might get that rate cut catalyst everyone's waiting for.
The institutions aren't leaving. The ETF flows tell that story. This is just turbulence, not a crash landing.
Bottom line: Volatility = opportunity for those who stay sharp.
What's your move here? Accumulating the dip or waiting on the sidelines?
