The Fed is trapped… and crypto could pay the price.
Inflation was cooling. Markets expected rate cuts.
Then oil exploded.
Now everything changed.
Key shift:
• Fed rate cuts → delayed
• Possible rate hikes → back on the table
• Liquidity → tightening again
Even worse… this is stagflation risk:
Slow growth + rising prices = worst-case scenario
Why this matters for crypto:
• Cheap money = bull runs
• Expensive money = sell pressure
We’re already seeing it:
$ETH < $2,000
Fear Index = Extreme Fear
If April CPI comes in hot → markets will panic reprice.
This isn’t just noise.
This is a macro trend shift.
