🌍 Major Macro Events Moving the Market

1. Fed Expectations Flip—Rate Cut Odds Spike

December rate-cut probability jumped from 27% to 70%+ after dovish FOMC commentary (e.g., Chicago Fed’s Goolsbee).

While supportive, it wasn’t enough to stop aggressive selling as liquidity remains thin.

2. Weak U.S. & Global Data

U.S. job cuts hit a 22-year October high, with 17,375 AI-driven layoffs in 9 months.

China fixed-asset investment fell 1.7%—worst since COVID—signaling global slowdown.

3. Policy/Geopolitical Stress

Trump moves to shut down USAID → concerns over support for global allies.

Ray Dalio warns markets resemble 80% of the 1929/2000 bubble setup, with rising rates + debt + liquidity stress forming a dangerous mix.

4. USD Weakness & Trade Uncertainty

USD weakened against major FX pairs.

Bianco Research says BTC has “dense overhead supply”, limiting vertical recoveries.
