#数字资产生态回暖 💡 The central bank faucet has been turned on, but where does the water in the crypto world flow? This question is much more complicated than you think.



On the surface, it's a simple rate cut—more liquidity should mean higher asset prices. But the true game rules are hidden in the details. Institutional investors have long sensed the signals, with traditional asset management giants breaking discipline to enter the market, and ETF net inflows have become the norm. This isn't retail FOMO; it's large capital using real money to signal: the wind has shifted.

The most direct evidence is on-chain. In the past 48 hours, major holders have accumulated over 400,000 ETH, and spot supply on exchanges is rapidly tightening. What does this mean? Market expectations are heating up, and chips are shifting into the hands of long-term holders.

But there's a trap—technical indicators have already overextended expectations. Ethereum's RSI indicator has entered overbought territory, which usually indicates short-term gains are too deep. Historical experience tells us that the old trick of "buying the rumor, selling the news" is most effective at critical moments. That is, even if good news materializes, profit-taking may choose to exit first, creating a shakeout.

A more cautionary scenario is also possible. If central bank officials turn hawkish—for example, if the rate hike cycle isn't over—the dollar could strengthen instantly, and risk assets may face about an 8% pullback. This is not an alarmist warning but a historical regularity.

📊 Advice for traders:

Short-term traders: No matter how the news evolves, the crucial window is within the first 30 minutes after the event. Going long with the trend is fine, but set a stop-loss (-2%) and don’t be too greedy with take-profit (+5%). Holding overnight is too risky; close positions on the night of the policy implementation.

Holders of spot assets: If BTC attempts to break through $98,000, consider reducing positions by about 20% to reserve cash for possible oscillations later. Decide whether to add positions after officials finish speaking.

Options investors: This is the moment of volatility explosion. Buy "straddle" options to hedge against volatility changes, close positions immediately after the event, and don't be greedy.

🎯 Core logic: Rate cuts themselves are just about releasing liquidity, but where the liquidity flows to and when it flows out are the real variables that determine your account's profit or loss. In the short term, it may be a dilemma; in the long term, no one knows. So, managing risk exposure is the key.

It's the same old "water flows where it will," which sounds nice but in reality is just gambling on the central government's mood... Even though RSI is overbought, they are still hyping expectations. This wave is truly a classic textbook example of buying on expectations and selling on results.

The interest rate cut has arrived, but ETH's RSI is already overheating. Do you really dare to buy now? It feels like institutions are setting traps for retail investors.

Sounds good, but we all know the trick of "buying the rumor and selling the news." Is this large investor really optimistic about accumulating ETH this time, or just pooling capital? It's a bit confusing. --- RSI is overheated but still daring to push in? I’m impressed. Aren’t you afraid of being washed out? --- Interest rate cuts are coming, but the dollar is strengthening instead? Central bank officials really have a hard-to-understand temper. --- 400,000 ETH are shifting to long-term holders? What should retail investors do, keep buying in? --- Stop-loss at 2%, take profit at 5%, this return rate is a bit stingy. It’s better to invest regularly. --- Bitcoin hits 98,000 and then reduces positions by 20%. Feels too conservative. What if it breaks 100,000 directly? --- Short-term is a dilemma between up and down, no one knows about the long-term—doesn’t that mean nothing was said at all, haha.

The interest rate cut is here, but it's not that simple. Large investors are stacking chips, while retail investors are still chasing highs... This round is a bit risky.

It's a nice way of saying it. Basically, big players scare retail investors out first before they harvest the profits.

It sounds nice, but it all depends on whether the central bank really continues to flood the market. Hoarding 400,000 ETH may sound intimidating, but perhaps it's institutions deceiving retail investors into buying the dip.

It's that same story of "institutional entry" again. Is it true or false? I tend to believe RSI overheating more. Historically, every time this happens, the more it rises rapidly, the harder it falls.
