BREAKING: The 10am manipulation is back.
Bitcoin dropped $2,000 in 35 minutes and wiped out $40 billion from its market cap.
$132 million worth of longs have been liquidated in the past 60 minutes.
This is getting ridiculous.
🚨BREAKING: Bank of Japan is planning to hike rates on the December 19th meeting.
Bloomberg reports that some internal sources say the BOJ is planning to even do more rate hikes in 2026.
This is the reason behind the massive dump we are seeing in the market today.
$BTC / Bitcoin
Today is Federal Reserve meeting. Here’s the FOMC script the market runs every time.
Now until 2PM: Markets are locked into a 98% expectation of rate cuts. Expect aggressive candle whips and liquidity hunts on both sides as we near the official announcement.
2PM: The rate cuts statement hits the wire. "Federal Reserve lowers rates by 25bps"
NQ will spike 100 points in a few minutes. Gold flies. Bitcoin wicks up to grab liquidity. Retail is bullish.
2:30PM: Powell takes the podium. Acknowledges rate cuts and mentions the impact of inflation. Says something like "The committee is not in a rush to lower rates further". Entire 2026 outlook turns hawkish.
The bottom begins to fall out. NQ erases the 2:00 PM gains and goes red. Gold dumps. Bitcoin decorrelates and starts hunting downside liquidations.
3PM: Powell is done speaking. The market begins to price in the hawkish outlook for 2026. We break the 2:00 PM lows. Stops trigger for every retail trader who chased the initial headline.
24-48 hours after: The "priced-in" rally begins to unwind. The bids fade and assets begin to flush. $BTC hands back some gains in a short-term correction.
This has been the reliable script for months.
Will the market flip the switch today, or is the trap set again?
