The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points! The crypto circle is completely baffled: where's the promised bull market frenzy? Let's chat about it.
In the early morning, the Federal Reserve's actions directly silenced the market; as soon as the interest rate cut landed, BTC and ETH not only didn't take off but instead started a high dive with intense fluctuations. Wall Street bigwigs are cursing, and Trump has directly fired back. This is hardly a lifeline for the bull market; it's simply dousing cold water on the bulls!
In a nutshell, this rate cut doesn't quench the thirst at all! Why do I say that? Two points to make it crystal clear:
1. On the surface, it's dovish, but at its core, it's hawkish to the max!
Powell is verbally calling for a 25 basis point rate cut, but turns around and adds that 'the economic fundamentals haven't changed!' The subtext is clear: the tap is only slightly open, and there’s no way to continue easing later! The market suddenly cools off significantly, so this is what I bet on for long-term easing?
2. Neither side is satisfied, and it feels like no one is on your side!
Trump directly fired back: 'Too little, not enough strength!' Wall Street and crypto community old-timers are equally baffled; this rate cut package wrapped in hawkish warnings is a dilemma—neither eat it nor spit it out, the future market is completely shrouded in fog!
Surely some will ask: A rate cut is clearly a big positive, so why are BTC and ETH not rising but instead falling?
Veteran investors all understand the iron rule - 'Buy the expectation, sell the fact!'
Previously, the price of coins surged, relying on everyone betting that the Federal Reserve would continue to flood the market; now that the news is out, expectations have been fully realized, and profit-takers have directly dumped their positions and fled. Who's still foolishly standing guard? More critically, the market focus has completely shifted! If interest rates really stay high in the long term, what justifies risk assets holding up at their current high valuations? Everyone is anxious!
Ultimately, this rate cut is not a charge signal but a loud alarm bell! Macro uncertainty still hangs overhead, and the market direction is completely unclear. Musk's concept of small poodles【p•u•p•p.i.e.s】 is a leader on the Ethereum chain!
The final soul-searching question: In this market, are you decisively bottom-fishing or clearing out and running away? Show your operations in the comments!
