Brothers, I saw the news last night that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December. My first reaction wasn't excitement, but rather thinking of a painful experience of an old friend by my side. This guy watches the market for ten hours every day, knows the candlestick charts better than his own father, but after a round of fluctuations, he didn't make any money and lost half of his hair. In fact, the market's most powerful tactic isn't the wild ups and downs, but rather specifically tormenting those who lack patience.
Today I just want to talk to everyone about something practical: regardless of whether the Federal Reserve is 'hawkish on rate cuts' or 'dovish on liquidity', our core task as ordinary people is just one thing: to create an asset allocation plan that can withstand and fight back. This is the real deal for navigating bull and bear markets.
First, the Federal Reserve's rate cut? The market has already 'jumped the gun'!
First, let's look at the current situation: the Federal Reserve has already cut rates twice this year, and the probability of another 25 basis point cut in December is close to 90%. Interestingly, this cut is being called 'hawkish,' meaning that while it is a rate cut, it will deliberately cool expectations, implying that the next cut won't be as easy.
Why is it so twisted? Because the economic data is conflicting: the job market is beginning to weaken, but inflation hasn't completely surrendered. So the Federal Reserve can only take it one step at a time; essentially, it's a 'preventive rate cut.'
For us, the key is not to guess whether there will be a cut, but to understand: the market has already priced it in! When the news hits, it may instead cause volatility due to 'expectations being met.' The recent surge in silver prices is because capital is positioning itself in advance. Chasing highs at this point? It's easy to catch the last leg.
Second, my own allocation philosophy: pyramid structure for ballast
Back to the point. What has allowed me to survive these years is not magical operations, but a layered pyramid model of allocation. This approach isn't exciting, but it can save your life:
Cornerstone layer (50%-60%): Bitcoin + Ethereum
Don't dismiss the clichés; BTC is 'digital gold,' and ETH is the foundation of smart contracts. They are the ballast, and no matter how much they fluctuate, don't waver easily. My strategy isdollar-cost averaging, buying a little every week without caring about the price.Growth layer (20%-30%): mainstream public chains and DeFi blue chips
For example, public chains like Solana and Avalanche, or proven DeFi projects like Uniswap and Aave.Choose the leaders of each sector; don't spread your bets too thin, and definitely don't gamble on low-cap coins.Opportunity layer (5%-10%): new sectors + stablecoin reserves
I consider this part 'lottery money,' investing in cutting-edge fields like AI + blockchain and RWA.The key is to keep 10%-20% in stablecoins, so you can buy the dip when prices drop sharply and still earn some interest in the meantime.
Third, more important than allocation: mindset and discipline
I've seen too many people with beautifully crafted plans that fall apart at the first drop. So let me emphasize three points:
Don't use leverage! The crypto market is already volatile enough; using leverage is like digging a pit for yourself.
Rebalance regularly: for example, if Bitcoin rises too much and exceeds 70% of my portfolio, I'll sell some to rebalance to other layers. This is akin to enforcing 'sell high, buy low.'
Classify your wallet: put long-term holdings in a hardware wallet and trading assets in an exchange. 'Not your private key, not your coins' – I've said this too many times.
Finally, let me say a couple of things
We cannot control the Federal Reserve's policies; we can't predict whether the market will rise or fall tomorrow. But you can control your position and avoid reckless actions. Investing is not a sprint; it's a marathon. Only those who survive will see the next bull market.
If you feel confused right now, it might be worth checking your holdings: are you too heavily invested in risky assets? Do you have enough stablecoins for emergencies? Remember, opportunities are always reserved for those with cash. What we need to do is patiently wait for the wind to come.
