Market Alert: Fed Rate Cut Odds Collapse to Just 10% for January
The unemployment figures just dropped, and it's reshaping rate cut expectations. January interest rate cuts now sit at just 10% probability—a stark reversal from earlier forecasts.
Here's what's happening: stronger-than-expected jobs data is giving the Fed room to hold steady. But here's the question nobody's asking clearly enough—does the Fed actually want to signal bullish momentum, or are they playing it safe?
For crypto traders, this matters. A hawkish Fed stance typically pressures risk assets in the near term, though macro volatility often creates trading opportunities. The employment report just became a major pivot point for Q1 sentiment.
What's your read—is the Fed genuinely concerned about inflation stickiness, or is this a cautious pause before more clarity emerges?

Fed is doing this again, 10% chance? Laughing to death, I would have known not to buy the dip earlier.

Here they go again, cutting into us small crypto investors. They only know how to adjust their expectations whenever the trend shifts.

It's the same old story. When employment data looks good, the Fed acts hawkish. I think they just want to buy more time. Anyway, retail investors will get caught out eventually.

10% chance of rate cut? The Fed really can't hold on anymore; we need to see whether this employment data is just a false alarm or the real deal.

Here we go again? As soon as the employment data is released, they turn hawkish. This routine is so familiar... Let's just wait to be cut.

Coming again? As soon as the employment data is released, the Fed acts hawkish. I think they just want to stabilize the market and reassure the public.
