Countdown to the Fed meeting announcement, which happens tomorrow, Wednesday 12/10. Then it’s countdown to year-end. Then? Let’s wait and see how things go.
Obviously, the Fed announcement on interest rates is the BIG thing. But rather than just expect a cut of 25bp (99% probability), there may be a twist. With a lot of internal discussion within the Fed committee about a) holding rates where they are, b) raising rates (inflation, ya know), c) easing rates, or d) cutting rates 50bp, how do they get a consensus? Here’s what’s floating: a “hawkish ease.” Yeah, I know that’s a chickening out. But they will ease, yet raise the bar higher for future cuts. Kind of a “bearish cut.”
Once again, I am remaining neutral with the exception of BITCOIN. With the new year and holiday season coming up fast, why push it? A few more weeks and some 2026 clarity (?) — it feels good to just chill. So, neutral on GOLD, ETH, and S&P 500.
BITCOIN looks like a sharp (new highs) rally is coming. Quickly. THAT would be a surprise, but it is what it is. Going long.
Theory? (Sort of, anyway.) Notice when Trump began blasting drug-smuggling boats out of the water? BITCOIN sold off. Sure, the smugglers were BITCOIN buyers with millions to spend (launder). Now, take away that flow and BTC sells off. Currently, the “boat elimination policy” is kind of on hold since some politicians are concerned about those poor smugglers (oh, fishermen). Drugs get through, buying (laundering) BITCOIN is back, and BTC rallies. Hmmmmmm! (lol)
Wait for the FED.
