The market's conviction on ECB rate hikes is cooling down. After the latest ECB statement, traders priced in a 50% probability of a rate hike by March 2027, but that optimism has already faded—current odds now sit at 40%. This shift reveals how quickly market sentiment can flip based on policy signals. For crypto investors, ECB policy moves matter because central bank decisions ripple through global liquidity and risk appetite. When rate hike expectations soften, it typically eases pressure on risk assets. Worth keeping an eye on how this plays out over the coming months.

The ECB is playing mind games again, suddenly flashing from 50% to 40%. Are we being played for suckers this round?

Ha, it's the same story again. Whenever the ECB moves, the market shifts accordingly. Going from 50% to 40% and then flipping out just like that. To be honest, it's still a liquidity game. This is the game we play in the crypto world.

Oh my, it dropped from 50% to 40% again. The ECB will renege, I saw through it early.

Damn, dropping from 50% directly to 40%, the ECB is really playing with our hearts.

It's the same story again. The ECB fakes a move, and the market starts to comfort itself... Dropping from 50% to 40%, hilarious. How many times do these retail investors need to be cut before it's enough?
