#数字资产市场动态 【Federal Reserve's Hawkish Stance Shocks the Market】Rate cuts are still far off, internal disagreements have disappeared

Let's start with some hardcore data: inflation remains high, and economic growth is surprisingly stable. The result? The Federal Reserve collectively announces—no rate cuts in January, and don't expect quick easing afterward. Rates will stay high until inflation obediently returns to the 2% target. Bullard's statement was very straightforward: victory is still far away.

But the real explosive point isn't in the numbers; it's in the attitude shift.

What has happened in recent weeks? The Department of Justice has started making moves, which has angered the entire Federal Reserve officials team. From Kashkari to Williams, these usually independent technical bureaucrats, rarely speaking in unison, have loudly declared: "Don't try to interfere with our decisions!" They support Powell, emphasizing that every step is based solely on economic data, with political pressure and judicial investigations not counting.

This is no longer ordinary policy disagreement—it's a fight for independence.

So when can assets like $BTC, $ETH expect a policy shift? The internal buzz suggests it might happen around mid-year. Most in the market are betting that substantial action won't occur until after June. But all prerequisites are clear—inflation must significantly decline.

Now, I leave the question to you: with the Fed so firm, is it genuinely trying to suppress inflation, or is it using this as an excuse to maintain its independence? When do you think the first rate cut will happen this year?
