The Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting has everyone in the market asking the same question—will there be a rate cut, and can cryptocurrencies and other digital assets usher in a new upward trend?

First, let's clarify something: we are actually already in a rate-cutting cycle. This isn't something that can be decided by a single decision; rather, the entire cycle is pushing the market forward. Only when this cycle fully ends will the market rhythm truly change.

Another important detail is that this rate-cutting cycle is different from previous ones. First, the Fed paused its balance sheet reduction, and only afterward did it start cutting rates. Stopping the balance sheet reduction means no longer draining liquidity from the market, and combined with rate cuts, it effectively eases pressure on the entire market.

If tonight's meeting signals an expansion of the balance sheet, it would really be a "water release." There will definitely be short-term volatility, but in terms of the overall cycle, the outline is becoming increasingly clear.

The interest rate cut cycle has already started, and this time it's real. No need to wait for a single meeting to guess blindly. If the expansion of the balance sheet really happens, liquidity will be completely loosened, and short-term fluctuations are inevitable. Alright, anyway, liquidity is already loosening, and the crypto sector should gradually start to react. Stopping the balance sheet reduction is equivalent to de facto easing, which is more aggressive than simply cutting interest rates. To put it plainly, the cycle is fixed here; no matter how much chaos in the short term, the overall direction won't change. However, opening the floodgates and easing doesn't mean an immediate takeoff; we still need to wait for funds to actually enter the market. This round is indeed different from before; the gameplay has changed. If the expansion of the balance sheet happens, a short-term explosion is basically certain. The cycle has already moved; everyone, there's no rush.

The interest rate cut cycle has already begun; tonight's meeting is just a confirmation. The real test is still ahead.

As for the interest rate cut cycle, it's not a one-time deal; there's a lot of back-and-forth. If the easing measures truly come, short-term chaos, but long-term optimism.

The interest rate cut cycle has already begun. Don't get too hung up on a single meeting; it's important to look at the bigger trend.
