Waller calling rate cut talk 'crazy' is the cold water we needed. It confirms the Fed isn't pivoting anytime soon, which explains why we're seeing those ETF outflows—institutions want safe yield, and right now, T-bills offer that without the crypto volatility. Your strategy to dollar-cost average (DCA) over 6 months is actually the only sane play in this environment. Reducing leverage is non-negotiable when consumer confidence is this low; panic sell-offs usually kill the over-leveraged first. Keeping a hedge in gold or Treasuries is just prudent risk management while we wait for the macro picture to clear up. Don't let the short-term price action shake you out. I've seen these cycles on Coinmeta before; the macro headwinds are tough, but Bitcoin has survived high-rate environments before. Just my personal take, not financial advice. Stay safe out there!
