Everyone saw “no cut” from the Fed. But they missed the real shift in Powell’s words. Crypto’s already reacting, and smart money knows why. Let’s break it down before the next CPI lands👇

The Fed held rates at 4.25%–4.50% as expected. But inside the room, cracks are showing. Two governors already pushed for a cut — And the market knows it’s coming sooner than Powell admits.

Powell downgraded US growth from “solid” to “moderate”. Job market resilience is fading, slowly but steadily. Inflation is still above target — sticky at 2.7%. The Fed is stuck: cut and fuel inflation, or hold and risk collapse.

Crypto doesn't wait for permission. Bitcoin hit $120K with zero policy change. ETH and alts are rotating hard — memes already up 5–10x. This is the first real decoupling since 2021.

Waiting for confirmation means missing the pump. Smart money is already in — rotating fast into risk. High beta sectors are attracting liquidity in waves. Narrative and momentum are stronger than ever.
