Market Risk Insight: Pre-FOMC Selloff & BTC Outlook
One day before the FOMC decision, the market experienced a significant selloff, particularly in megacap tech stocks. Investors are reducing exposure to U.S. equities due to concerns over Trump’s economic policies. Here’s a breakdown of the impact on BTC, DXY, and S&P 500:
1. S&P 500 Declines – Risk-Off Mode Activated
SPX -1.1%, Nasdaq -1.7%, Dow -0.6% → Profit-taking after a two-day rebound.
Megacaps hit their lowest levels since September → Nvidia -3.4% despite ongoing AI expansion.
Import prices exceeded expectations → Inflation remains a risk.
Impact on BTC: Bearish (risk-off sentiment leads investors to reduce exposure to risk assets).
2. Defensive Positioning – Cash Levels Rising
Bank of America reports cash levels at record highs → Investors are reducing exposure to U.S. stocks.
Doubts over AI investments → Expectations for tech sector growth are fading.
Gold reaches an all-time high → Investors are shifting to safe-haven assets.
Impact on BTC: Neutral to bearish (lack of risk appetite may pressure BTC).
3. Treasury Yields & Dollar Mixed – No Clear Catalyst
10Y Yield down 1 bps to 4.29% → Bonds rise, but without significant movement.
DXY fluctuating → Markets await direction from the FOMC.
Impact on BTC: Neutral (no strong momentum from USD or the bond market).
