Market odds are flashing red flags: prediction markets are now pricing in an 87% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady in January—no cuts coming. For traders holding crypto positions, this shifts the whole narrative. A pause on rate cuts could mean stronger USD pressure and tighter liquidity conditions, both historically bearish signals for digital assets. Watch this space—the Fed's next move remains one of the biggest wildcard factors for Q1 performance.

87% probability of no rate cut? The crypto world is about to get hit again --- The US dollar is getting stronger, liquidity tightening, this Fed move is truly a killer for cryptocurrencies --- Red flags are flying high, Q1 is probably going to be tough --- The US not cutting rates, the sell-off expectation is fully ramped up, be prepared with low-entry ammunition --- It's the Fed's fault again, we have to look at their mood every time --- 87% chance to hold, that means they are determined not to loosen, the bears should be happy --- Arbitrage traders are going to hold back again, where's the good news in this --- When liquidity tightens, cryptocurrencies fall; this rule couldn't be more accurate
