When the market starts pricing a September rate hike at around 90%, I stop asking “Will the Fed hike?” and start asking “What could still surprise the market?” That distinction matters to me. If almost everyone is positioned for the same outcome, the actual rate decision may not create the biggest reaction. The real volatility could come from the Fed’s language around what happens next another hike, a long pause, or signs that policy is finally restrictive enough. Personally, I’m watching BTC closely here. If Bitcoin can remain resilient while yields stay elevated and markets prepare for tighter policy, I’d see that as a pretty interesting sign of underlying demand. At the same time, 90% is still not 100%. One unexpected inflation or labor-market development can change expectations quickly. #SeptHikeOddsHit90% $BTC
