I've always believed

that the market fears bad news the most

It was only later that I realized

what the market truly fears

is actually not knowing what will happen tomorrow

Just as everyone was still expecting interest rate cuts

the Federal Reserve once again poured cold water on the market

After the latest rate meeting kept rates unchanged

market expectations for future policy paths changed significantly

Federal Funds rate futures show

the probability of further tightening in September has risen to 76%

The main focus of market discussion

is shifting from "Will they raise rates?"

to "When will they raise rates?"

The signals behind this shift are not complicated

Inflation still hasn't been fully resolved

The Fed is temporarily unwilling to relax its vigilance

And for global capital markets

liquidity tightening often means risk assets will face greater pressure

But interestingly

the crypto market has shown a rare phenomenon

panic sentiment continues to rise

Many investors are choosing to exit and watch from the sidelines

Yet BTC still firmly stays above $64,000

Price and sentiment are beginning to diverge noticeably

This situation often indicates

the market is waiting for a new direction

And the key to that direction

is likely to be decided this week

Micron’s earnings report will test the real demand in the AI industry chain

Core PCE data will directly influence market expectations of the Fed’s next move

Plus, the Fed’s bank stress test results will be announced

The combination of these three events

is enough to impact capital flows over the coming months

For investors

the focus is no longer just on candlestick charts

but whether macroeconomic data can change market expectations

Because in an era dominated by liquidity

what often determines the rise or fall

is not what stories projects tell

but how much money central banks are prepared to print

This week

might be the time to verify the answer 📈
