Quick Wins: Fade the Fed
Morning degens!
A quick update on the state of bitcoin and a reminder that there are always quick and juicy wins available for those that are alert and watchful!
This morning was a reminder that you can long and short the Fed at every single turn because any time they open their mouth — whether that’s through a scheduled FOMC announcement or a wayward, ad-hoc comment via Powell or Yellen — you can bet that the markets will respond.

Many folks are calling for a “slow melt-up” but I won’t make any major plays until I receive some more confirmation. Lots of money to be made.
To infinity & bitcoin,
