IS THE FED'S INTERIM PANIC BEGINNING?

The market is still focused on "when will the rate cut happen?"
But the latest minutes indicate something else:

The Fed is no longer considering a cut; it is worried about inflation spiraling out of control again.

This is a huge difference.

Because the language used in previous months was:

• "We will be patient"
• "We will proceed data-driven"
This was the stance.

Now, however, the official statement highlights:

• "additional tightening"
• "upward inflation risks"
• "tariff-related price pressures"
These phrases stand out.

This may indicate that the Fed is considering the following scenario:

"If inflation makes a second wave, we won't be powerless."

This is the point that could truly scare the markets.

Because right now:

• Nasdaq is still trading at high multiples
• BTC remains dependent on liquidity
• The altcoin market is still speculative
• US bond yields are already high

And if the Fed becomes more hawkish despite all this, the room for risky assets shrinks.

Things to watch on the crypto side:

• Be cautious if funding rates turn excessively positive
• Risks increase if prices weaken while open interest rises
• As BTC dominance increases, altcoins could be squeezed
• Especially in low-volume coins, sharp gaps may occur

In the short term, what will determine the market's fate is no longer just data.
The tone of Fed members' speeches has become as important as the data itself.

Another critical detail:

Saying this is the biggest opposition since 1992 indicates that consensus within the Fed is starting to break down.
In such periods, markets usually misprice the Fed because investors continue to cling to the "old scenario."

We might be exactly at that stage now.

If by the June meeting:

• oil prices keep rising
• core inflation does not slow down
• the labor market remains strong

The Fed's tone could become even more hawkish.

Therefore, the market may no longer be sustained solely by the "pivot" story.
