The Fed Looks Set to Hike Rates in December, but Conviction Is Slipping

25 bps increase: leaning yes (64%)

A rate increase by year-end is still the lean, but what had been a likely call is now a leaning-yes — and a market that has crossed conviction boundaries 13 times offers no stable floor. The near-certainty of no cuts in 2026 remains intact, making a hike the only live question on the path.

probably not (42%)

While coverage focuses on crypto's recent strength, the money is pricing a significant downside scenario — a dip to $2,200 in November is now seen as likely, and the broader range of outcomes skews heavily toward further losses rather than a recovery above $3,000.
