The pricing in of US rate hikes

Every so often I hear on Bloomberg or other sources that the market has priced in the next 2 rate hikes for this year. Do you guys think so? I’m not so sure. For one, it seems to me that speculators that enter the market with large positions unwind these positions very often. Also, when the rate hikes actually do come, aren’t a shitload of investors going to buy the new higher yield bonds (thus pushing the USD higher)?
