🚨 #Fed CHAIR POWELL IS CORNERED — MACRO IS CALLING THE SHOTS 🔥
Here’s the breakdown:
Data Snapshot:
Headline CPI: 2.7% (in-line)
Core CPI: 2.6% (below expectations)
Truflation shows inflation < 1.8%
Unemployment rising to 4.4%
Growth slowing, financial stress mounting
Why this traps Powell:
The Fed paused rate cuts expecting inflation to reheat.
Reality: Inflation is stable or falling, yet unemployment is climbing.
This is opposite of 2024 when rate cuts came with higher inflation and lower unemployment.
Implications:
Hawkish rhetoric ≠ macro reality.
Market expects rate cuts are inevitable in 2026.
Risk assets like $DASH
, $DCR
, $OSMO
are already pricing in relief.
💡 Key Takeaway: Powell can talk tough, but data is louder than words. The Fed is behind the curve — and when markets catch up, expect rapid shifts in liquidity and risk appetite.
This isn’t a debate anymore — it’s a policy trap unfolding live.
