🚨 September 14th marked extreme FOMO for the crypto community. Bullish narratives surged as traders positioned for a favorable CLARITY Act outcome, which was a warning sign that euphoria was dominating (regardless of whether the CLARITY Act decision turned out favorably).
📉 But after the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act on September 15th, and Bitcoin fell as regulatory optimism unwound, FOMO’ers have watched prices drop.
🏦 Then came another risk-off catalyst. The Fed raised rates 25 basis points on September 16th to 3.75%-4.00%, also signaling that additional tightening may follow.
🧭 After these two events, sentiment has now cooled back near neutral. From a contrarian perspective, this is now a healthier place to accept more risk than at the start of the week. Enthusiasm has been flushed out and fear is rebuilding. Watch closely. 👀
