THE MARKET AWAITS THE FED AGAINST A BACKDROP OF GEOPOLITICS

🟡 Neutral — BTC strengthens, but liquidity is tightening

The main shift of the day is an acceleration in BTC’s rise and a noticeable improvement in sentiment, while the macro backdrop has barely changed: the dollar is flat, and yields are slightly higher over the week (10-year 4.34%, +8 bps; 2-year 3.83%, +12 bps). With the VIX at 19.31, the equity market is not pricing in stress, but geopolitical headlines and oil spikes in the news flow keep the “risk premium” elevated and increase sensitivity to any surprises in the coming days.

In crypto, the picture is mixed: BTC around 78,919 and up on the week, dominance at very high levels (58.23%) — capital continues to hide in the “base” asset, making it harder for altcoins. At the same time, net liquidity has noticeably declined over the week, and daily inflows into BTC ETFs remain modest (around +$14 million), although the weekly total is still strong (around +$1.5 billion). Compared to yesterday, the market has become more confident (the sentiment index rose to 47), and volatility remains low by the standards of recent months — this often means the next reaction to the Fed/PCE could be sharper than it seems now.

WHAT TO WATCH

1) The Fed decision in 2 days: most important are the tone and hints about the rate path.
2) PCE in 3 days: any hint of “sticky” inflation will increase pressure via yields.
3) Inflows into BTC ETFs: a return to large daily purchases will confirm the sustainability of the rise; otherwise, the risk of a sharp pullback from the range remains.
