Federal Reserve
The central bank of the United States; it sets interest rates and manages the money supply.
Coverage of Federal Reserve is holding steady : 25 signals on the latest tracked day, up 212% from its three-week baseline of 8, across 7 domains (down from 27 a week ago). That makes it the #271 most-covered of the 337 concerns we track.
Federal Reserve is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 8 signals a day across 7 domains (42 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 10+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 7. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
