📣📣📣The Federal Reserve's third interest rate cut this year has just landed!
🔥🔥🔥🔥But why hasn't there been a surge in the crypto market?
⚡⚡⚡⚡Don't worry, this article will clarify things for you.
The data speaks:
An interest rate cut of 25 basis points, bringing the rate down to 3.50%-3.75%, with a voting result of 9:3 — clear internal divergence.
More importantly, the Federal Reserve has simultaneously initiated the purchase of $40 billion in short-term Treasury bonds each month, signaling a clear intent to inject liquidity.
However, the options market reveals caution: by the end of December, options positions exceed 50%, with a major pain point for BTC hovering at $100,000 and ETH at $3,200, indicating that large funds are not blindly optimistic.
Why is the market weak?
The good news has already been priced in, which is why "good news being fully priced in becomes bad news."
Additionally, with Christmas and year-end settlements approaching, market liquidity is poor, and activity is low, leading to a short-term lack of bullish momentum.
So don’t rush to chase gains just because of an interest rate cut; the current trend of oscillation and decline remains the mainstream script.
What should retail investors do?
Remember two things:
1. Hold onto core assets (BTC/ETH); don’t panic when they drop, and don’t get overly excited when they rise. A long-term decline in interest rates still supports risk assets at their core.
2. Pay attention to subsequent economic data (employment, inflation) and policy divergences, as these will be the catalysts for the next wave of market changes.
Major market movements rely on cycles, not on a single piece of news. When everyone ignores the news, it is often the right time to gradually position yourself.
Stay patient and remain in the game. The tide of liquidity will eventually lift the boat of value.
What do you think of this "hawkish interest rate cut"?
Do you believe there will be a reversal opportunity by the end of the year? Waiting for you in the comments!
