#美联储启动新一轮降息周期 The Fed's dot plot this time is quite interesting — it just signaled a 25BP liquidity injection, yet the market's expectations are exactly the same as three months ago. It looks stable but is actually a subtle dance. On one hand, giving the economy a band-aid; on the other, silently warning the market: "This is the rate cut you get, don't think too much."

What is the reality? Employment data has softened, inflation remains stubbornly high at 2.8%. In such a complex situation, the dot plot chooses to "look the other way." If you say there’s no change? That’s because there’s no daring to change — loosen up and risk another inflation rebound; tighten and the economy immediately hits the brakes. Both options are pitfalls, so they just use last year's expectations as a shield, avoiding the need to explain new policy logic and blocking aggressive easing bets in the crypto market. On the surface, it appears unmoved, but deep down, it’s a "standstill balance" under the current policy dilemma.

This "still saying the same thing but not changing" approach does more harm than directly adjusting expectations — it’s like telling the market: "I have no new ideas for now, don’t gamble recklessly." All future uncertainties are hidden behind the phrase "maintain status quo," neither offering a confidence olive branch nor providing a clear direction, just a pure "holding on for now." For assets sensitive to macro expectations like $SOL, $XRP, and $BNB, this ambiguity tests investor psychology more than a clear adjustment.

SOL-1,39%

XRP-4,09%

BNB-0,94%

The Fed's move of playing tai chi is really impressive... The dot plot boils down to two words: avoid war. This round of actions is neither daring to loosen nor tighten, simply pretending not to see anything and piling all uncertainties into "unchanged"... For things like SOL, XRP, this kind of ambiguity is actually more painful than direct adjustments. I'm totally Schrödinger's right now, is tomorrow going to be another blind box market?

The Fed's recent moves are indeed a bit 🤡. Frankly, it's about trying to have it both ways and offend no one. --- The dot plot remaining unchanged = a covert show of weakness. The persistent inflation at 2.8% is really frustrating. --- So, crypto still has to wait. The Fed with no new ideas is the biggest troublemaker. --- Tokens like SOL and XRP seem destined to go through another psychological ordeal. It's too tough. --- The Federal Reserve is just betting on time. Since they're pushing risks further into the future, retail investors like us just have to tough it out with the uncertainty. --- Interest rate cut cycle? I think it's more like a "pretend cut" Tai Chi performance—really clever tactics.

The Federal Reserve this time is really playing both sides, wanting and needing at the same time. It just annoys me to watch. The dot plot is a copy of last year's, acting like a game of undercover operations with us here. They say they will cut rates but then don't, how can coins like SOL, XRP, BNB not drop? It’s just breaking my mentality.

The so-called "Tai Chi pushing hands" is indeed fierce. On the surface, it appears steady but actually bets on us not seeing through it. On-chain data shows that whale addresses for SOL and XRP have been highly active in recent days. I think these institutions have long understood the Federal Reserve's "standstill." But where is the real eye of the storm? It’s in this ambiguous zone of "neither loose nor tight"—backtesting the same operational patterns over the past three years, each time followed by a short-term FOMO and then a deep correction. The risk factor is directly maximized, but the arbitrage space? Hey, it’s not nonexistent. As for the current miner fee prices, I’m a bit at a loss now.

Tai Chi is good, but in the end, someone still has to take the bait. This round, it all depends on who blinks first.

Tai Chi is played perfectly. Anyway, don't overthink it. The market is emotionally exhausting.

The Fed's move is truly a Schrödinger's rate cut—since it's already 25BP, why pretend everything is fine? The Tai Chi move is really slick; tokens like SOL and XRP are going to suffer again. The dot plot staying the same just means it's changing; in plain terms, there's still no solution.

The Fed's recent actions are really a case of "wanting both... and...," and in the end, no one gets a clear answer. I'm breaking apart.

Taiji is played perfectly, and this move by the Federal Reserve is just betting that we can't see through it. The Federal Reserve is really playing word games; the dot plot remains unchanged, but the market is about to blow up. Not changing is the biggest change; implying harm is greater than explicitly stating it. This move completely confused me. Playing Taiji? More like waiting, waiting for the right moment to clarify. The sentiment of coins like SOL, XRP, BNB has collapsed; policy ambiguity is more uncomfortable than a direct rate hike. Implying no change actually suggests there are variables; this move by the Federal Reserve is truly brilliant. In plain terms, there's no new idea left; maintaining the status quo is just deceiving the market into thinking it's safe.
