Market Recap The Fed kept rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%, but the statement turned noticeably more hawkish. Officials removed the language suggesting "further rate adjustments," while 9 members of the dot plot now expect additional rate hikes in 2026. Adding to the surprise, Warsh scrapped forward guidance altogether, signaling a more data-dependent approach going forward. Risk assets reacted immediately. BTC slipped below $63K, ETH briefly lost the $1,700 level, and more than $400 million in leveraged positions were liquidated across the crypto market. The volatility didn't stop there, one whale closed 3,173 BTC worth of short positions for a $9.46 million profit before flipping bullish and opening a new 999 BTC long, a move that quickly caught traders' attention. Despite the turbulence in crypto, traditional markets remained resilient. The Nasdaq climbed 1.91%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.08%, suggesting equity investors were largely unfazed by the Fed's tone. Meanwhile, gold gave back part of its recent rally, pulling back from $4,308 to around $4,190 as traders reassessed expectations for future monetary policy. For now, the message from the market is clear: the Fed may not be cutting anytime soon, and volatility is back on the menu. #FOMCShockRipples $BTC $ETH
