This early morning, the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting revealed the biggest disagreement in nearly 34 years.
8 votes to keep interest rates unchanged, 4 votes against.
The four opposing votes were completely divided internally:
✅ One vote advocated a 25 basis point rate cut, leaning dovish;
✅ The other three strongly opposed easing, resisting expectations of a rate cut, leaning hawkish.
And this was also Powell's last meeting as Federal Reserve Chair. A few days ago, I joked with friends that his final speech would definitely be deliberately complicated to stir up the market.
The logic is simple: now the US stock market is at a high, and almost everyone in the crypto market is bearish, all afraid of a continued big drop. The Federal Reserve is intentionally creating disagreements to amplify panic, preventing retail investors from understanding the market.
Everyone understands, everyone dares to buy the dip—how can the big players harvest?
Don’t focus on the short-term language of the meeting; the true cards in capital's hand will never be revealed to retail investors.
The surface language of the meeting doesn’t matter; short-term statements are all smoke screens.
The real cards are never disclosed in advance.
Many people think only a rate cut will cause prices to rise, but in the crypto world right now, there’s basically no shortage of money.
ETF inflows continue, traditional institutions keep entering, and the number of people holding U tokens far exceeds those holding coins.
To put it simply, a rate cut is just the icing on the cake; even if there’s no rate cut, it won’t stop the bull market.
In the past two years without a rise, all kinds of negative news were just excuses after the fact.
Essentially, it’s just pure manipulation, wearing down retail investors’ patience, forcing everyone to give up their chips at low levels.
Bull markets are always born from disagreements and start from despair.
Now, do you understand?
