The Fed's FOMC interest rate decision is here - announced at 2 p.m. ET, followed by Powell's press conference at 2:30 p.m. The probability given by the market is as follows: the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut is about 88%, which is basically nine out of ten.
The key is what to say at the press conference.
If Powell sends a signal of QE (quantitative easing) or hints at continuing to cut interest rates, the entire market may be ignited in an instant. Once liquidity opens, risk assets such as $BTC, $ETH, $XRP may take off directly - this is not an exaggeration, it has been the case every time in history.
To put it simply: the double catalysis of resolution + press conference, the good data is basically locked. Now it depends on how far Powell's tone can go.

88% confidence that they are 100% sure, if there's no rate cut this time, we'll all be left to fend for ourselves in the northwest wind.

If Powell hints at continued easing, BTC will surge tonight. Just wait for the 2:30 performance.

As soon as Powell opened his mouth, I knew that I was going to hi today, and the QE signal was directly all in

actually... the trust assumptions here are kinda wild, nah? everyone's betting powell signals moar QE like it's some cryptographic proof we can verify. but tbh the real question is—what's the actual information-theoretic security of his rhetoric? dude could literally say anything and the market spazzes out lol

As soon as Powell opened his mouth, I knew what would happen, betting 5 cents, he would say something to make the currency circle happy

Powell's mouth determines who can eat meat today, depending on whether he will loosen the liquidity
