$HYPE Federal Reserve suddenly releases nuclear-level bad news?! The threat of rate hikes hits the crypto market hard, Bitcoin crashes, altcoins bloodbath. Should you cut losses now or hold on tight? Come take a look.

Guys, Dore just woke up early this morning and was stunned by the hawkish remarks from these old Fed guys! The macro-level atomic bomb has been dropped. Phemex’s latest daily report shows that the crypto market has plummeted across the board due to the Fed releasing hawkish signals, even hinting at【possible rate hikes】, which sent shockwaves through the market! This directly locks in the liquidity expectations for risk assets, and market liquidity instantly sounded the alarm!
Let’s take a quick look at the brutal market data: $BTC dropped 2.55%, directly breaking below the 60,300 level, with quotes around $62,982; second-tier $ETH also didn’t escape, falling 2.49%, with quotes dropping to $1,712.55. However, there’s still one shining star—$XLM—because positive partnership news caused it to surge 8.56% against the trend! But overall, the market is still a sea of despair.
Dore will show everyone the real fund flow behind this decline: once liquidity shrinks, the main funds don’t withdraw evenly, but first squeeze the soft targets, selling off high-elasticity, high-leverage, high-beta assets first! As of 2026-06-19 02:20 UTC, data shows $BTC fell 2.61% in 24 hours, but the hot $SOL dropped 3.79%, and the highly risky $HYPE , which we warned about yesterday, plummeted 7.04%! This fully confirms Dore’s warning yesterday—the more leveraged and hot a token is, the more likely it is to experience a bull trap in the face of macro bad news, with funds fleeing faster than anyone else!
So, will the Fed’s rate hike threat really send the market into a deep abyss? Dore thinks we can rationally view it in two layers:
For Bitcoin $BTC : This is a short-term valuation suppression. But as a liquidity indicator, if the market cools down in a few days and finds that the Fed is just issuing【verbal warnings】and not actually planning to hike rates further, Bitcoin will definitely be the first to undergo a rebound, regaining lost ground!
For second-tier $ETH and altcoins: The impact is more direct and deadly. As on-chain risk appetite drops, everyone stops playing meme coins, and demand for gas, DEX trading, and leveraged perpetuals will plummet. That’s why ETH ecosystem tokens, Solana on-chain tokens, and Hyperliquid ecosystem tokens see their declines amplified during crashes—the underlying logic.
Understanding this, Dore’s short-term defensive strategy and key observation points are very clear today. Everyone must take notes:
Key Observation Point 1: Watch Bitcoin
Can BTC hold the【BTC can hold the intra-day low near 62.3K】area? This is the bulls’ critical line of defense. If it breaks, the downward space will open further!
Key Observation Point 2: Watch second-tier
Can ETH regain【ETH regain】and stay above【1,700】? If these two conditions aren’t met, even if some altcoins suddenly bounce back today, it’s probably just a short-term short squeeze (a false rebound caused by short covering). Don’t blindly chase high and catch falling knives!
In the macro bad news environment, cash is king, safety first. Guys, lower your leverage first, follow Dore’s steps, and we’re not here to be martyrs rushing into battle, but patient, hardcore hunters waiting for the bottom. Keep pushing forward, and let’s eat some solid gains later—okay!~
