The Federal Reserve just announced a 25 basis point rate cut, bringing the target range to 3.50%-3.75%.

As soon as the news was released, Bitcoin instantly surged to $93,000, and Ethereum also broke through $3,400. Market sentiment was instantly ignited.

But the good times didn't last long.

Not long after, it started to pull back, with Bitcoin falling back to around $90,000, and Ethereum dropping to $3,214. This rollercoaster ride has been a bit dizzying.

Honestly, this result isn't surprising. A 25 basis point change isn't a large move, and the market had already anticipated it, making it a "expected but not surprising" scenario. Prices can't rise much further, nor fall sharply.

Now, the real focus should be on the Bank of Japan. Their monetary policy adjustments are the potential variables that could stir the market next. The Fed's move is like the final shoe dropping, but the shoe on the Japanese side is still hanging.

In the short term, the market may continue to fluctuate within this range as traders digest the sentiment.

BTC-0,82%

ETH-1,05%

lmao fed did the bare minimum and we still got liquidated. 25 bps? that's not alpha, that's copium in decimal form. watching btc pump to 93k then cascade back to 90 is just... *chef's kiss* market structure in shambles honestly

Another false alarm, a 25 basis point increase won't really move the market. The Bank of Japan is the key, just wait and watch the show.

Another false alarm, a 25bp move can't really shake the market at all.

ngl, this fed cut tastes like a half-baked soufflé... all hype, zero substance lmao. btc pumped to 93k then deflated faster than my failed croissant experiments. like fr fr, where's the proof-of-freshness in this volatility?

the real sauce is what japan does next tbh. that's the wildcard ingredient we need to watch.

It's the familiar "the other shoe drops" routine again. Is this really all the Federal Reserve has? A 25 basis point move feels like just a light scratch. No wonder the crypto market reacted so quickly—it's impossible to hold the 93,000 level.

Once again, a high open followed by a decline. Wake up, everyone.

The 25bp cut by the Federal Reserve is the same as no cut at all; the Bank of Japan is the real troublemaker.

Riding the roller coaster all day just to return to the starting point, it's hilarious.

The benefits of interest rate cuts have been fully priced in, indicating that the fundamentals remain unchanged.

It's more interesting when the Bank of Japan's move actually materializes; right now, it's just a game of news speculation.

This reaction is excessive; it seems no one truly believes this rate cut can support anything.
