Recently noticed something pretty interesting—

Bank of New York Mellon said the Fed might go for a "hawkish rate cut" this week.
Sounds contradictory, right? How can a rate cut be hawkish?

It's actually that classic "tough on the surface, easing behind the scenes" play.
They talk about staying vigilant and controlling inflation, but quietly cut rates at the same time.
They want to calm the markets but don't want to appear too soft.
Quite the dilemma.

But what's more interesting is what's happening inside the Fed—
Things are pretty chaotic right now.
The chair's position is up for rotation, and the committee is split into two camps.
You can see it in the dot plot:
One side thinks it's time to ease up next year, the other still wants to tighten.
Their meetings are probably even more intense than a debate tournament.

Right now, the market isn't just worried about whether or not they'll cut rates,
but the fact that they themselves haven't reached a consensus internally.
This split is the real source of uncertainty.

That being said,
periods of policy confusion often bring extreme market moves.
Uncertainty itself is a catalyst for volatility.
For risk assets like BTC and ETH,
this could be an opportunity—or a trap.

Either way, while watching the show, make sure you know your own positioning.
