HAWKISH PAUSE CONFIRMED: FED IS NOT PIVOTING 🚨
The Fed held rates but signaled zero urgency for cuts. Labor market stability means they are comfortable waiting. They are NOT satisfied on inflation.
• Fed explicitly avoiding victory lap.
• Uncertainty remains the dominant theme.
• External chaos (tariffs, DXY swings) adds volatility.
• Expect turbulence for risk assets like
$BTC and $ETH.
The next move hinges entirely on Powell’s speech. Do not mistake this pause for easing. Expect sharp wicks and fakeouts until then. Trade smart.
