Markets are holding their breath. The S&P 500's parked just shy of all-time peaks, and everyone's eyes are on next week's Fed meeting. Rate cut seems baked in at this point. Meanwhile, smaller stocks are catching a bid—risk appetite creeping back? AI-related names continue their run, no surprise there. Bonds are doing that nervous dance they do before FOMC decisions, and Bitcoin? Classic BTC behavior: choppy action, can't decide if macro tailwinds matter or if it's gonna do its own thing. Interesting times when traditional finance and crypto charts start rhyming.

Fed rate cuts are already a foregone conclusion, but what is Bitcoin still struggling with?

The Fed's rate cut is already set, now we're just waiting to see how to bottom out on Bitcoin.

The Fed is really about to cut interest rates, the S&P 500 is already near its peak and still hasn’t moved, I don’t get it.

It should be pointed out that this argument makes a fundamental mistake—misunderstanding Bitcoin's independence as "ignoring macro," when in fact the on-chain data has been telling the story all along. --- This made me laugh, it's that same "traditional finance and crypto are starting to sync" narrative again. I heard this argument back in 2017—how did that turn out? --- According to the original whitepaper, BTC has never followed the crowd. That so-called "indecision" actually proves the market is recalibrating its value consensus. --- The Fed's rate cuts mean nothing to us. What really matters are M2 growth rates and on-chain wallet addresses. Don't let macro headlines hijack your thinking. --- You only pay attention to AI when small caps start moving? You're two quarters late. The real alpha was arbitraged in DeFi long ago. --- Central banks can cut rates whenever they want—we have Bitcoin. Remember the original intention behind Satoshi's design... no need to say more.

Fed rate cuts are already a foregone conclusion, and AI will continue to rise.
