🚨 Final Take
This is a critical macro week for crypto:

Wednesday’s FOMC minutes and Friday’s PCE inflation data are the two events to watch closely
Markets are short-biased → a positive surprise = short squeeze incoming
Whale long positions are already in profit, signaling smart money's conviction
🧠 Strategic Move:
Watch for short-term dips post-data volatility to accumulate. If economic data supports easing, BTC could reclaim momentum — and altcoins may follow.
