The pre-FOMC selloff in crypto reads more like tactical trimming than a directional break. BTC off 2.6%, ETH closer to 4%, but the move lacks the spot-led character that signals real distribution. Discretionary books are clearing risk before a binary macro event, which is rational positioning, not capitulation. What makes this week harder to read is the AI and semis earnings cycle running concurrently with the Fed. Powell could hold rates while a CXMT-era memory entrant surprises on margins, or vice versa, and risk sentiment flips faster than the macro narrative can settle. When rate policy and earnings catalysts are misaligned like this, the sharper moves tend to come in the hours after Thursday's decision, not during it. The setup favors patience over conviction either direction. Just my read, not advice. #OKXOrbit
