7/7 What this means for markets: → Borrowing costs stay elevated → Dollar remains supported ($DXY) → Pressure on equities continues The Fed is stuck between a slowing labor market and a resurging inflation threat. Stagflation risk is real. Watch closely. 👀 #Fed #FOMC #InterestRates #Powell #Inflation

6/7 December 2025 may have been #Powell's last cut this cycle. Two pauses. Inflation revised higher. Energy shock still unfolding. No end in sight. Markets, borrowing costs, mortgages - everything stays under pressure. Higher for longer. Situation developing. Stay alert. 👀

FOMC: Rate hike in 2027? Wait… what? No cuts. No relief. And a whole lot of uncertainty. That’s for now. Read about unimaginable 🧵

9/9 What to watch now? 🔥 Extent of damage at Ras Laffan 📊 Brent pushing toward $110-115 if escalation continues 📈 VIX - if it breaks 30, risk-off mode kicks in hard 🌍 Any retaliatory strikes on Saudi Aramco infrastructure This is the tail risk nobody wanted. It's here. #LNG #RasLaffan #OilMarket #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #NatGas

8/9 Remember - all of this is happening with $DXY strengthening. Strong dollar + surging oil & gas prices = an inflation multiplier for the entire world. Every country importing energy in USD just got hit twice.

2/9 Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar accounts for ~20% of global LNG supply. A single Iranian missile got through after four others were intercepted - causing extensive damage to the complex.

🔴 LATEST: BTC’s reaction to FOMC Let's take a look back at the last six FOMC decisions. Yes, you see correctly, in six out of six cases, BTC fell after the FOMC decision. 6/6. The declines ranged from 5.5% (July 2025) to a whopping 32% in January. Two of the six times the declines were double-digit. Today, there are more coincidences. In addition to the post-FOMC statistics, we're also reaching downward resistance on the MACD and RSI (yellow lines). As if that weren't enough, we are at resistance at the 0.618 Fibo level ($74k). Will this time be different?

How are markets behaving right now? Risk assets are grinding modestly higher into the event, shrugging off some geopolitical tension for now - but volatility is coiled tight. The real fireworks usually come from Powell's presser: tone, inflation commentary, labor market read, and any hints on the 2026 path will dictate the next leg. Higher-for-longer narrative still rules the roost, but a surprise in either direction = big swings ahead. What’s your call - classic hold + neutral/cautious Powell, slight hawkish tilt, or any dovish curveball? Drop your bets below! #FOMC #Fed #Rates #Powell #Markets #DotPlot

🇺🇸 NEWS: FOMC Today Today is THE day - FOMC rate decision drops at 6:00 pm UTC. Markets are pricing in no change to the fed funds target range at 3.75% (98-99%+ probability of a hold). This would make second straight meeting with no move, but the stakes feel higher: persistent core inflation (~2.8-3.1% PCE), surging oil prices from the Iran conflict risks, Trump's tariff threats looming, and Powell wrapping up his chairmanship soon. Everyone's laser-focused on the updated Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and especially the fresh dot plot. Will the median still pencil in just one 25 bps cut for the rest of 2026 (higher-for-longer vibe intact), or do we see zero cuts / hawkish revisions due to energy shocks + sticky inflation?
