European Central Bank policymaker Villeroy just dropped some hawkish clarity: the 2% inflation target remains the "only fixed figure" in their playbook. But here's the twist—he's flagging "significant" turbulence ahead for inflation forecasts. What caught traders' attention? His emphasis that downside price pressures are now matching, if not surpassing, upside risks. Translation: deflation worries are creeping back into the conversation. For crypto markets, this signals potential policy pivots that could reshape liquidity conditions. When central banks start hedging their inflation bets both ways, volatility tends to follow.

This is the truth. The central bank hedging both sides is paving the way for future moves. The crypto community needs to be cautious.

Damn, are they about to start hedging their bets again? I'm tired of seeing this ECB routine.

Look, the European Central Bank is being cryptic again—on one hand, they say 2% is an iron rule, but on the other, they're hinting at deflation risks... Truly a Schrödinger's hawk.

Damn, starting psychological warfare again? Drawing a hard line at 2% actually makes it even shakier.
