✅ 1️⃣ Rate ACCORDING TO FORECAST (3.75%) → NEUTRAL / VOLATILE
This is the most likely scenario.
👉 Market reaction usually:
Initially could be a fake pump or fake dump (whipsaw)
After Powell speaks → only then the trend is clear
📈 Crypto possibility:
BTC chop / sideways
Altcoin could have a small pump if the statement is dovish

For example: 3.50% or 3.25%
👉 Impact:
USD down
DXY drop
Yield down
BTC & altcoin PUMP HARD

📊 This is rare but highly anticipated by the crypto market.
🩸 3️⃣ Rate UP (HIKE RATE) → VERY BEARISH
For example: 4.00% or more
👉 Impact:
USD up
DXY up
Yield up
BTC dumps hard
Altcoin could crash deeper
⚠️ This scenario involves massive long liquidations.
