Waller hikes rates, forced to go head-to-head with Trump!
The first rate hike in three years, passing unanimously with all 12 votes.
The federal funds rate rose from 3.50%–3.75% to 3.75%–4.00%. The first move since July 2023.
Waller’s statement was short and forceful, just over a hundred words.
The economic assessment was very firm: growth is steady, domestic demand is resilient, productivity is strong, capital spending is robust, employment is holding up, and the unemployment rate has barely moved. Then came one sentence that killed all wishful thinking: inflation remains elevated.

Macro/Current Affairs｜The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00% and hinted that it may hike again this year; the 10-year Treasury yield briefly hit 5.003%, while the dollar strengthened. The real pressure is not this 25-basis-point hike, but the repricing of rate-cut expectations.

President Trump said he told Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh to “vote with the board” on today’s rate hike because “it won’t make any difference” 🇺🇸
When asked whether he still had confidence in Warsh, Trump said yes, then lashed out at other members of the Federal Reserve.
“He has a very difficult board. This board was put there by a lot of people. And interest rates are too high. It’s inappropriate.”
“The board is very hostile. They’re very political. They’re doing the wrong thing.”
“We should be paying the lowest interest rates in the world because we have the strongest credit.”

After $VVV surged to 24.367, I instead took 70% off first. It’s not that I’m bearish, but this level is right at the key prior-high resistance, making further chasing less worthwhile. The move up from 22.088 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level and volume expanding on the breakouts.
The key levels are clear now: the prior high is the first key level. After the breakout, only a low-volume pullback that holds the upper boundary would create a new entry setup; if it merely spikes up and then falls back, it could be a false breakout. I’ve

1. Fed Raises Interest Rates by 25 Basis Points at September Meeting
The Fed chair said inflation remains above the target level, so it chose to raise rates by one-quarter point (25 bps). The latest dot plot shows that the market still expects the possibility of further policy tightening this year, putting some pressure on risk assets.
Impact:
Negative for risk assets such as BTC and ETH in the short term
The dollar and U.S. Treasury yields strengthen, while risk appetite declines
Watch for whether the market enters a “pause after rate hikes” phase

📢 Fed interest rate meeting early Thursday morning | Macro review
✅ Decision: The benchmark interest rate remains unchanged, with no hike and no cut.
✅ Powell's remarks were hawkish in tone: Inflation has not yet stabilized, rate cuts will be delayed, and the possibility of further hikes remains.
📌 Macro interpretation:
U.S. inflation is sticky and the labor market is resilient, extending the period of high rates and lowering market expectations for rate cuts.
👉 Market impact:
The market is likely to consolidate amid short-term volatility, with intensified bull-bear battles and frequent bai

Couldn’t sleep, so I got up and had breakfast. When I came back, the market had moved roughly as expected. This pullback was news-driven; between gold and the Nasdaq, I chose to keep the Nasdaq position. The returns are good, so I’m keeping an advantageous position and will trade the swings to hedge after I wake up.
