🚨🚨FED BALANCE SHEET MAGIC: PRINT, PAUSE, OR PANIC?
Markets don’t sleep — and neither does the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. For the week of May 10, 2025, the Fed quietly added $1.6 billion. Routine adjustment or the first signal of a new liquidity wave?
Here’s what’s really happening.
John Williams, Fed Chair, admits:
• Expect slower economic growth, higher unemployment, and persistent inflation.
• Yet, somehow, inflation is still forecasted to “return to 2%.”
Meanwhile, Fed Board Member Kugler points out rising risks from new trade tariffs. The U.S. economy showed early signs of inflationary pressure in Q1 GDP, driven by those very policies.
And Fed Vice Chair Michael Barr adds: if both inflation and unemployment rise, the Fed faces the worst-case scenario — a stagflation trap.
The market, though, has already made its move:
FOMC Rate Path:
• June 18 — No change.
• July 30 — Cut to 4.00–4.25%.
• Oct 29 — Cut to 3.75–4.00%.
• Dec 10 — Cut to 3.50–3.75%.
• March 18, 2026 — Cut to 3.25–3.50%.
The big question: is the Fed really in control, or are markets now driving the narrative?
For crypto, it’s simple — more liquidity often means risk assets pump. But will the economy cooperate, or is this just a setup for a harder fall?
Question for #AMAGE Community:
Are we at the start of a new crypto bull run powered by fresh liquidity — or is the real storm still ahead? What’s your move: wait it out or get in early?
Let’s see your calls!
