The Federal Reserve is up to something again! This time even Wall Street is guessing whether Powell will play the good cop or the bad cop. This move could directly determine whether the coins in your hands soar or plunge!

Reports say that this week a rate cut is basically secured, but Powell is caught between hawks and doves, with no one to turn to. On one side, some are shouting not to loosen any more, while on the other, they can't wait for another cut in January next year. So Wall Street predicts that this time it’s likely a hawkish rate cut, meaning that while the rates are cut, Powell still has to put on a tough front and may not dare to directly promise further easing next year.

Personally, I think the folks at the Fed are just putting on a show. Clearly, the economic data is a mess, and some figures are delayed due to the government shutdown, yet they insist on performing a play of “we are very cautious.”

But for us in the crypto space, this is actually good news! Why? Because once they cut rates, no matter how tough their stance, money in the market will always find a way to run, and cryptocurrencies are definitely one of the favorite places for hot money to rush to!

However, don’t just rush in mindlessly at the mention of a rate cut. The key is not whether they cut or not, but how Powell speaks afterward. If he softens his tone and hints at further easing down the road, Bitcoin and Ethereum will surely shoot up;

If he sternly states that this is the only cut, and we’ll see how it goes later, then it’s likely to drop first and then slowly climb back up, because money will ultimately be cheaper, just arriving a bit late.

So what should retail investors do this week? Keep an eye on the Fed's press conference, especially when Powell discusses future policies. If you have positions, don’t make rash moves; if you haven’t entered the market, you can place orders in batches at lower levels, just remember not to go all in at once! Volatility will definitely increase, and opportunities will arise from the dips.

The crypto market has never feared the Fed's theatrics; what it fears is the lack of volatility. The more tangled it is, the more room we have for operations!
