A whale has taken a $1M long position on EUR/USDC, betting on a weakening dollar amid expectations of a Fed rate cut

BlockBeats News, March 16th, according to Hyperinsight monitoring, in the past 4 days, a whale address starting with 0x133 opened a 34x leveraged long position on EUR/USDC (Euro/US Dollar exchange rate), with a position size of about $1.04 million, entry price at $1.148, currently facing approximately 10% unrealized loss.

From a macro perspective, this long position may be based on a decrease of about 92,000 in U.S. non-farm payrolls in February, with the unemployment rate edging up to 4.4%, indicating a cooling labor market; at the same time, the year-on-year CPI in February was about 2.4%, leading some to believe that inflation has not picked up again.

However, the escalating U.S.-Iran geopolitical conflict has significantly affected the Fed's pace of rate cuts. The whale's decision to heavily invest at this time may be an intentional bet on the marginal easing of geopolitical risks or a trend towards conflict mitigation. The market's recent focus is now on the early hours of March 19th for the Fed's interest rate decision.
