The highlight of global monitoring tonight is here - the Federal Reserve is going to throw a "schizophrenic bomb". The market is betting on a third rate cut, but what really makes people nervous is the weird combination: while releasing water, shouting "don't expect me to keep putting it". This is the legendary hawkish rate cut.
** How much is the contradiction torn apart? ** The interior is already noisy. A group of people stared at the weak employment data, feeling that the economy would have a hard landing if interest rates were not cut; Another group of people stared at the core PCE's 2.8% inflation rate, warning that easing was over. Worse still, the government shutdown has led to the lack of critical data, and they are now making decisions almost with their eyes closed.
**In these three moments tonight, every second is the tip of a knife**
Let's talk about Powell's speech first. The fine-tuning of any word in the post-meeting statement is a flare. Goldman Sachs predicts that the statement is likely to imply that "the threshold for further interest rate cuts has been raised." Every time he emphasizes "data dependence", the market's illusions about continuous interest rate cuts are shattered.
Let's look at the dot plot and voting wars. This thing exposes the real divisions within officials. The voting session is estimated to be another bloody battle: director Milan may once again advocate a direct 50 basis point cut, while hawks like Schmid will vote against it. A pigeon and an eagle,-for-tat.
Finally, there is the stealthy action of the balance sheet. The Fed stopped shrinking its balance sheet in October and may announce a resumption of bond purchases tonight to ease market pressures (although they will emphasize that this is not quantitative easing). If this is done, the faucet of global mobility will be subtly loosened.
**Macro "option expiration dates" in the crypto market **
This resolution is like an option expiration at the macro level for the crypto circle, and the result may go down three paths:
· Benchmark playbook (hawkish rate cut): Lowered, but hinted at a pause next. Bitcoin may rush in the short term, but it is difficult to get out of the trend market, and there is a high probability of violent shocks.
· Surprise script (unexpected dove): Make it clear that it will continue to be loose in the future. On-chain liquidity may return, and assets such as Ethereum have the opportunity to outperform the independent market.
· Worst scenario (tougher than expected): It directly hints that there may be no rate cut or even interest rate hike next year. That is, the liquidity crunch is expected to return in full swing, and the crypto market is expected to experience a round of deep washing.

The combination of hawkish interest rate cuts is really something you want and don't want to give
Is it reliable to make decisions with your eyes closed? I can't sit still anyway
As soon as the dot plot comes out, you will know who is throwing the pot, and then there will be a bloody battle
The key to liquidity depends on whether they dare to restart bond purchases
BTC breaking 100,000 is purely hot money hype, and deep washing is real
If the doves win, Ethereum may really have a chance, otherwise it will still be a shock

The hawkish interest rate cut, to put it bluntly, is to say that it is both wanted and not wanted, and when the time comes, it will be a mess
BTC rushed to 10w and really can't hold it, but whether this wave can be held depends on what Powell says tonight
The liquidity is really loose, there may be a drama in this wave of eth, but I bet 5 yuan and ended up cutting my life
Decision with your eyes closed? Cheng, this is the psychology of gamblers, let's follow the gamble and it's over
The expectation of interest rate cuts is gone, and the currency circle is likely to be deeply washed, and I am ready to be slept
If you want me to say that hawkish interest rate cuts are deceptive, both want and no, typical politician routines
As soon as the dot plot thing comes out, the market will riot, and the gambling pigeon may go bankrupt tonight
If we really want to restart QE, then we are going to take off again, but don't expect Powell to say it clearly
The price of 10w knife always feels like it is going to be smashed, and the expiration of macro options may be a trap
This resolution is a gamble, I only know that most people will be bloodcutted in the end

Hawkish rate cuts? Laughing to death, isn't this just a fart, shouting stop while releasing water, which caused Lao Tzu to split

The combination of hawkish interest rate cuts feels like they want to stage us again, "since you want to fall, I will make you worse"
$BTC break through 100000, $ETH to 4000!
