$BTC $LUNA 🔥 Breaking news: Brother Maji bets 33.08 million USD all in on $ETC , wagering on the Fed lowering interest rates, but ends up suffering a major setback…
🪙 The rate cut indeed came, but within 24 hours, over 100,000 people were liquidated, and more than 200 million USD evaporated—Brother Maji's more than 30 million USD also sank.
The most heart-wrenching thing is not the loss number, but the bloody iron rule of the crypto world:
Here, what is gambled is always expectations, not events.
🧠 Retail mindset: Rate cut confirmed → Rush in!
🦅 Institutional logic: Buy in advance on rate cut expectations → Once the news breaks, offload to retail investors.
This is the classic “buy the expectation, sell the fact.”
🌰 For example:
At the end of October, BTC surged to around 110,000, and the market had started frantically speculating on “December rate cut expectations”;
In November, when expectations fell through, BTC collapsed, plummeting from 110,000 to 80,000.
By the early morning of December 11, when the Fed actually lowered rates, retail investors thought a chance had arrived and crazily bottomed out at 95,000…
The result was that 24 hours later, BTC continued to drop to 89,000, with 100,000 people instantly liquidated.
What retail investors picked up was the “fact,” while institutions had long been positioned during the expectation phase—this is where the gap arises.
What’s even harsher is that Powell subsequently delivered the final blow: there may only be one rate cut in 2026.
The market originally expected 2-3 rate cuts, but those expectations were completely shattered, and the market continued to plummet…
Retail investors hear “rate cut is good” and get excited, while institutions see “long-term liquidity tightening.”
⚠️ I had warned as early as December 1: The Bank of Japan raising rates is the real risk.
If on December 18, the Bank of Japan really starts raising rates, BTC may very well face another wave of decline—global liquidity is shrinking, and the little liquidity released by the Fed’s rate cut cannot hold up.
💎 So please remember:
When the entire network is shouting the same “good news,” that good news has already been digested by the price.
The moment you rush in, it often coincides with others preparing to offload.
🔥🔥🔥 The next key date:
December 18 The Bank of Japan interest rate meeting
This is the real risk bomb buried in the market, so be sure to keep a close eye on it.
