What to Eat After You Have Your Gallbladder Removal Surgery

First off, this blog was originally dedicated to losing weight. "Think Thin Today" the original blog name was created in hopes to celebrate and inspire me and others to lose weight and feel better. Upon years of investigation and meaningless diets, I recently hit a wall, a good wall (if there is one). 

Many people struggle after gallbladder removal surgery and don't even know it. Weight gain, stress, liver problems, and heart problems are just some of the physical issues that follow gallbladder removal surgery. Western medicine does not tell you this.

Weight gain, stress, liver problems, and heart problems are just some of the physical issues that follow gallbladder removal surgery. Western medicine many times does not explain the after-effects of organ removal.

Do Markets Swing Before Fed Rate Decisions? Crypto Goes Wild Before the Fed Talks!

Do Markets Swing Before Fed Rate Decisions?

Yes — historical data shows that extreme market swings, especially in crypto and stocks, often occur before the Federal Reserve announces interest rate changes or policy updates. 

Ever noticed how Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto zoo start glitching out right before a Fed rate decision? That’s not a coincidence. When the Fed so much as blinks, crypto either moonwalks or melts down.

Why Does This Happen?

• Uncertainty ahead of policy announcements increases volatility.
• Interest rates impact liquidity, inflation expectations, and risk appetite.
• Traders reposition ahead of anticipated Fed moves.

Historical Examples

• March 2020: Fed slashed rates to 0% — Bitcoin dropped below $4,000 before rebounding sharply.
• 2021–2022: As the Fed started hiking rates, crypto and equities saw major declines.
• 2023–2024: Traders swung between “rate cut” optimism and hawkish Fed surprises, causing major volatility in BTC and tech stocks.

Market Behavior Timeline

Timeframe	Typical Market Behavior
1–2 weeks before	Choppy, speculative trading
1–3 days before	Rising volatility, mixed sentiment
Hours before	Sharp price moves, positioning risk
After announcement	Rapid reaction, often followed by a reversal

Impact on Crypto

• Bitcoin usually leads price action.
• Altcoins often overreact with larger percentage swings.
• Leveraged positions (especially in DeFi) are more vulnerable to liquidation during swings.

Takeaway:
Extreme swings before Fed decisions are historically common. These events serve as key turning points in macro-driven markets, including crypto.

Why the Chaos?

• Markets hate guessing games. Before the Fed speaks, everything’s speculation.
• Interest rates are like oxygen for risk assets—more rates = less crypto breathing room.
• Traders go full degen or duck and cover depending on the mood.

Historical Freakouts

• March 2020: Bitcoin tanked to sub-$4K before the Fed hit zero rates. Then it rocket-launched.
• Late 2021–2022: The Fed got hawkish, and BTC dropped from $69K to $17K. Yikes.
• 2023–2024: Every speech moved the charts like Elon tweets used to.

What Happens Around Fed Day?

Timing	What Crypto Does
1–2 weeks before	Sideways chop and wild theories
48 hours before	Whales position, volatility ticks up
Hours before	Sharp spikes, fakeouts, leverage ramps
Right after the announcement	Full chaos—expect knee-jerk pumps or dumps

Why It Hits Crypto So Hard

• Bitcoin is macro now—Fed speaks, BTC reacts.
• Altcoins get rekt harder on uncertainty and low liquidity.
• Leverage amplifies pain and profit—liquidations skyrocket during Fed weeks.

Heads up: If you're trading around Fed announcements, expect volatility. Set stops, take profits, or strap in tight.
