What we know
An account on X reported that Hammack, speaking at a Goldman Sachs event, warned that worsening inflation expectations could necessitate more aggressive Fed tightening. She also noted financial conditions do not appear restrictive right now — a hawkish signal for both equities and crypto. This comes as another account on X notes 37% of fund managers are overweight tech (highest since Aug 2020), suggesting significant positioning risk if the Fed turns more hawkish. Separately, another account on X flagged a trader who longed $150M BTC and faces liquidation below $81k.
