🔥 Who felt the heat from Wash’s first move?


Federal Reserve Chair Wash made his debut and dropped three bombs right away:
First, delete all "forward guidance"—don’t expect the Fed to tip you off on rate hikes anymore;
Second, half the committee expects at least one rate hike this year;
Third, the statement was slashed from 400 words to 130.
In plain English: Wash doesn’t want to be a "guidance master"—he’s handing uncertainty back to the market.
Trump is fuming—oil prices are down 24%, but gas has only fallen 14.5%, and he’s lashing out at oil companies for "price gouging" on Twitter. But Wash isn’t biting. His logic is simple: inflation hasn’t hit 2%, so don’t talk to me about rate cuts.

Now look at the broader market—two words: divergence.
📉 Bitcoin $BTC
Around 62,500, down 2.1% in 24 hours, down 4.9% this week. 62,000 is a psychological level. Hold it, and we might see a bottom; lose it, and we go to 60,500–60,000.
📉 Ethereum $ETH
Worse—down 3.7% to 1,662. The ETH/BTC ratio hit 0.027, a two-year low. Last night, it tried to rally from 1,779 but got slammed to 1,633. 170 million in longs liquidated; another 674 million in liquidation waiting below 1,648.
In short: money is flowing from ETH to BTC.

🚀 Today there is a new story — $NES
Launch. AI Privacy Layer1, opened straight at 0.28, all-time high 0.298, low 0.1. New coins are volatile—mostly just watch.

Going forward, watch three things:
July 2 nonfarm payrolls, mid-July CPI, July 28 FOMC.
Strong data → rising rate hike expectations → pressure on risk assets.
Weak data → rate cut expectations revive → possible breather.
That 62,000 level—bottom or halfway? We’ll find out in the next two weeks.
