Key market indicators:

  • 86.​4% chance of September rate cut
  • 95% chance of October cut
  • 99% chance of December cut

BTC volatility (Deribit's DVOL) is approaching all-time lows, last seen in Aug/Sept 2023.​ Traders are advised to exercise caution as 50% price swings can occur in either direction.​
