Reason ๐Ÿ‘‡

ย 

โ—พ Fear of stagflation

ย 

Recently, US GDP data came in at 1.6%, which was almost 40% less than expectations.ย 

ย 

On the other hand, US core PCE rose from 2% to 3.7% (an almost 85% increase).

ย 

This indicates a weakening economy with rising inflation, also called stagflation.ย 

ย 

Why is it bad?

ย 

During a weakening economy, the FED usually makes rate cuts to boost the economy.ย 

ย 

During rising inflation, the FED usually does rate hikes to control the inflation.ย 

ย 

But right now, the FED is clueless, as both things are happening at the same time.

ย 

During the stagflation era of 1970โ€“80, stocks were one of the worst performers.ย 

ย 

Given that crypto usually follows stocks, if the stock market takes a big hit, Bitcoin and crypto will dump even more.

ย 

The next FOMC meeting is in 4 days, which will decide the fate of the market in the coming months.
