Last night's dovish stance from Hasset caused Ethereum to surge directly. But did you notice? The Nasdaq side didn't move at all.

This reaction is somewhat intriguing.

Everyone is now watching tonight's Federal Reserve meeting. Rate cuts are almost certain, but the question is how Powell will speak. The market generally expects this to be an "hawkish rate cut"—the cut will happen, but the subsequent attitude might not be so friendly.

Has this rally already priced in all the good news?

At this stage, both bulls and bears are engaged in a fierce tug-of-war. The core contradiction is clear: after the rate cut is implemented, if no real new funds enter the market, how long can this expectation-driven rally last?

Is the trend going to continue, or have the good news been fully priced in?

On a side note, the meme tokens on Ethereum that have been riding Elon Musk's hype, like the puppy coin called puppies, are becoming active again. These projects are extremely volatile; participation should be cautious.

In such a divided market with unclear direction, managing your positions and keeping cash on hand is the best way to stay in control.

What do you think will happen to the market after the rate cut?

1. The good news is fully priced in, deep correction
2. Ignoring hawkish signals, continued rise
3. Sharp volatility, unclear direction

Stay alert and don't let emotions drive you.

It’s really scary that Nasdaq didn’t react, which shows that big funds don’t believe in this round of gains. I’m especially annoyed by projects like puppies; they jump on the trend every time, with a bunch of trash technology but still hype it up fiercely. So what if interest rates are cut? Without new money entering the market, it’s just paper wealth. Now we’re just waiting to be squeezed. I bet three, volatility is the norm. Whoever goes all-in is just waiting to be wiped out. Powell’s words are the real weapon; a single statement can make the market move in the opposite direction.

It's a bit of a gambler's mentality; this wave of gains feels a little fake. Not reacting on the Nasdaq is the most heartbreaking, indicating that the transmission mechanism might be weakening. If there's no new capital inflow after the rate cut, a clear-headed approach would be to reduce positions. I don't deal with trash coins like puppies; I just enjoy watching others get liquidated.

Nasdaq has no reaction, and that's the real truth—only the crypto circle is hyping itself up. The recent surge in ETH has long been priced in, and there will be a correction before the rate cut. Choose 3; short-term volatility is inevitable. No one can predict Powell's words accurately. It's not wrong to lighten your positions; don't get blinded by FOMO on Meme coins. A rate cut doesn't equal capital inflow; too many people get this logic wrong. Those entering the market now are all with a panic-buying mentality. I just find it concerning.

Ethereum's surge while the Nasdaq remains unmoved is indeed strange. It feels like good news has been fully priced in. Hawkish rate cuts? The cut is fake; the attitude is what really matters. Just wait to get cut. Puppies and similar things are just betting on the next fool; I don't touch them. I'm betting on an unclear direction; holding coins now is just gambling on stupidity. A rate cut landing will likely cause a dive; if the funds don't follow, it's game over. The safest move now is to stay out of the market and wait for opportunities; don't be greedy. This wave of market movement feels somewhat虚，the Nasdaq hasn't moved, so why is Ethereum hyping itself? When Powell opens his mouth, he'll definitely face backlash; be mentally prepared.

technically speaking, nasdaq radio silence while eth pumps screams misalignment waiting to happen. the real vulnerability here isn't the fed signal—it's whether fresh capital actually shows up or if we've just prepaid the entire narrative already.

Nasdaq has no reaction, which is quite interesting. It feels like the US stock market and the crypto world are starting to split again. Have the gains all been taken? We still need to see how Powell tones it tonight. Compared to that, I'm more concerned about whether real money will come in after the rate cuts. That puppies surge was really crazy; watch out for getting liquidated. Positioning needs to leave some room.

It's truly impressive that NASDAQ hasn't moved; it shows this wave is just the crypto circle hyping itself up. I bet the positive news is exhausted, and as soon as Powell speaks, it's time to run. I wouldn't even touch trash like puppies, purely to harvest the chives. The rate cut has reached its peak, without new funds, it's a dead end. First, cut your position in half; holding cash is the true way to go.
