#美国民主党BlueVault Federal Reserve officials have spoken again, publicly dousing the market’s expectations of a rate cut under Trump. As January approaches, the market’s previous optimism has been completely shattered—forget it, a rate cut is basically unlikely.

This development has dealt a heavy blow to the crypto world. $BTC and $ETH had already been riding high on expectations of a rate cut, but a sudden "slap of reality" hit them hard. Policy shifts and a reversal of liquidity expectations caused the market sentiment to drop several degrees instantly. Short-term speculators who rely on policy benefits are probably cutting their losses right now.

This also reflects another aspect of the current market: the trend of crypto assets is increasingly tied to the Federal Reserve’s stance. Any small change in monetary policy can trigger violent fluctuations in the crypto market. Institutional investors have become smarter, no longer just looking at on-chain data, but carefully analyzing every word of the Federal Reserve’s statements.

BTC-4,02%

ETH-4,69%

The rate cut is indeed unlikely, and this wave of retail investors is about to get slaughtered again. --- I knew it, as soon as the Federal Reserve speaks, the coin prices plummet, and there's basically no liquidity left. --- Those who rely on policies to survive should have gone bankrupt long ago. Now it's all good. --- So, we still need to keep an eye on what's happening in the US. No one is really watching on-chain data anymore. --- BTC was a bit stunned by this slap, but we've long since gotten used to it. --- Once again, a textbook-level wipeout of retail investors. No wonder they are Wall Street's manipulators. --- The market is increasingly becoming a slave to macro policies, which is a bit disgusting.

Uh, this is awkward. I'm still receiving goods at the top. --- When the Federal Reserve opens its mouth, the crypto world is doomed. This business is truly unbeatable. --- Basically, it's a game of liquidity. Without the US dollar printing press, everything else is useless. --- Haha, I told you so. Rate cuts are just a fantasy. It should have been clear earlier. --- This wave really caused bloodshed. Next year, we still have to look at the Federal Reserve's stance to survive. --- Institutions are already quoting the Federal Reserve's statements, while retail investors are still watching K-line charts. The gap is huge. --- Once again, policies have hit hard. When will cryptocurrencies be able to walk independently?

Here we go again? When the Federal Reserve speaks, the crypto world has to tremble. Honestly, it has no independent footing. When the Federal Reserve coughs, the crypto market catches a cold. When will we be able to be autonomous? This round of selling off probably requires the central bank to rescue the market again, playing on repeat, right? To be honest, the fate of the crypto world is really tightly controlled by Americans, which feels a bit powerless. No more rate cuts means no liquidity, and this game rule is really ruthless. Institutions profit just by tweaking policy words; what are we retail investors supposed to do? January has arrived, and everything is over. Entering now is just courting death.

Another soap opera, the interest rate cut dream is shattered The Federal Reserve's mouth is more chaotic than the coin price Wait, if that's the case, have institutions already caught the trend? Those who cut their losses should be regretting it to death, haha

Once again, the Federal Reserve has pushed us to the ground. Retail investors' wishful thinking really needs to wake up. --- No more rate cuts? Then my short positions are about to take off. LOL. --- Institutions are all scrutinizing the Federal Reserve's statements, while retail investors are still looking at K-line charts, just playing around. --- Where's the January market? This slap in the face was unexpected. --- Speculators who rely on policies to make a living deserve to get cut. It's time to learn some real skills. --- Once liquidity dries up, the crypto world reveals its true nature. It's too real. --- BTC was hyped up and flying high, but now it needs to land. Waking up isn't a bad thing. --- Just one word from the Federal Reserve can make the crypto market tremble. That dependency needs to change. --- It seems the crypto world has been completely hijacked by macro policies. It's hard not to feel anxious. --- The dream of rate cuts is shattered. How devastated must those all-in friends be right now?

Oh my, no more rate cuts, and all the coins have to follow to their doom... Once again, the Federal Reserve has sniped us, this rhythm is incredible. Honestly, the crypto world is now just a pawn of policies; who still cares about fundamentals? The dream of rate cuts is shattered, and my BTC is also shattered into pieces. A single word from the Federal Reserve, and some in the crypto circle are happy, others are worried. The policy direction has changed, and the coins in hand have to tremble along... That’s so exhausting. Institutions are all analyzing the Federal Reserve’s words, and retail investors can only cut losses and accept it. It was obvious all along that the coin prices just follow the Federal Reserve’s lead.

Here we go again, whenever the Federal Reserve opens its mouth, the crypto market has to kneel. Truly impressed by the current market situation. --- The dream of rate cuts is shattered, short-term retail investors should cry now haha. --- Wait, does this mean we have to watch Powell's mouth to trade cryptocurrencies? --- Liquidity shifts lead to direct crashes. Without some policy sensitivity, you're not qualified to play with coins. --- Last year, everyone was talking about on-chain fundamentals, now it's all about the Federal Reserve's stance. Laughable. --- Institutions have indeed become smarter. While retail investors are still studying technical analysis, they are already listening to press conferences. --- BTC was hyped up and got carried away, but as soon as policies change, the real test begins.

Is it coming again? As soon as Powell opens his mouth, the coins have to kneel. Are we really just puppets of the Federal Reserve? --- Those who rely on policy dividends should have blown up long ago. This is natural selection. --- Institutions have already figured it out, while retail investors are still looking at K-line charts. --- Even if the Fed cuts interest rates in January, it’s gone. Where’s the promised bull market, brothers? --- The Federal Reserve makes a fart, and the crypto world has to tremble three times. So true, haha. --- That’s why I only do long-term, short-term players really deserve it. --- Wait, is it really going to be like this this year? Feeling a bit hopeless. --- Honestly, the Federal Reserve is more useful than any technical analysis. Just watch their face and eat accordingly.
