A certain institution released a report last night, with the core message: US employment data looks bad, and a rate cut might be coming.



What does this have to do with our wallets? To put it simply, a rate cut is usually good news for assets like Bitcoin. When money loosens, hot money tends to flow into high-risk, high-return places. In theory, prices will be pushed up.

But let's stay calm first.

There are two details in the report that stand out: US credit card debt is already off the charts, with interest rates being insanely high; wages are barely rising, and consumption is mainly sustained by credit card spending. Does this sound familiar? The economic foundation is actually quite fragile.

The market now is like a frightened bird; even a slight disturbance can cause overreaction. Prices might surge sharply, but when falling, it won't be gentle either.

So, what should we do now?

My view is: stay optimistic, but avoid impulsiveness.

**Don't chase the highs or sell at the lows** — expectations of rate cuts have already been priced in, and many people have already made their moves. Jumping in now might just be catching the last wave. When the news actually hits, it might even lead to a dip instead.

**Controlling your position size is key** — in such a fragile economic environment, going all-in is just seeking刺激. Keep your core positions solid, try small steps with spare funds, and don't corner yourself.

**Don't just focus on the coin price**—watch how the US stock market moves and whether the dollar stays strong. If the entire risk asset market starts to shake, Bitcoin will find it hard to rise alone.

Opportunities definitely exist, but the depth is beyond most people's imagination. Staying steady, planning well, is more effective than anything.

Interest rate cuts are coming but useless, Americans are drowning in debt, this economy won't last long Another signal of a wave of profit-taking, smart people have already run Credit card debt is sky-high and they still cut rates? This is just a show, with such a weak foundation, why would it rise? Always talking about opportunities, but in the end, it's just chances for the bagholders Don't rush in, this wave has already been driven up, those entering now are just catching the last ride The early high rollers have already gone bankrupt, still want to follow the trend? When the US stock market shakes, the crypto circle follows and cries, don't expect Bitcoin to fly solo The economy is so fragile, we must stay alert The rate cut expectations are priced in, and when it actually happens, it will definitely drop for sure Controlling your position is the key, don't be led astray by market sentiment

A rate cut is good, but with Americans' credit card debt like this, it feels like they're just injecting blood into the economy. Now, those rushing into Bitcoin are just the bagholders. Once the news actually materializes, it could hit you in the face in minutes. Don't go all-in with your position; I've learned this lesson many times.

Interest rate cuts have arrived, hot money is fleeing, but this wave has already been driven up. Now entering the market basically means being a bagholder. The news is good, but the fundamentals are terrible. Americans' debt is exploding while wages aren't rising. How long this economy can hold up is really uncertain. Don't go all-in; that's the right approach. Crypto prices move too fast, so you need to pay attention to both the US stock market and dollar trends. Looking at Bitcoin alone makes it easy to get cut. Stability is key to making money. Impulsiveness will only lead to falling into traps. There is an opportunity this time, but it's much more dangerous than you think. Wait for a signal, and once the news truly lands, consider the possibility of an opposite move. The US economy’s foundation is getting weaker and could blow up at any time. Manage your positions well; don’t go all-in. This is currently the only survival rule. Expectations have already been priced in. The current rally is hard to sustain, so be careful not to be the last to take the bait.

The interest rate cut hype is getting a bit tiring, but some people are still rushing in. Credit card debt is skyrocketing—this is the real panic. Americans have already overdrafted their future. Don't go all-in, really, there are already enough bagholders. With the economy so weak, a rebound is unreliable, and the rate cut could even cause a crash. Controlling your position size is the key to lasting longer; cash in hand is real wealth.

Interest rate cuts hype has long been rotten, and those still chasing are basically bagholders. Simply put, the economy is weak; it's just that too much money has been printed. Don't be fooled by short-term gains. This round of rebound feels like a trap; waiting for a pullback to re-enter. The explosion of credit card debt shows that Americans' lives are actually much harder than imagined. The more you max out your positions, the more dangerous it is; taking profits when you're ahead is the most comfortable. In such times, it's better to observe; not every opportunity needs to be seized. When the US stock market dips, Bitcoin tends to follow, and that symbiotic relationship can't be changed. Expectations of rate cuts are already priced in; rushing in suddenly is just gambling. Wait and see, anyway, coins can't run away, so stability first.

The rate cut expectations have been speculated multiple times, and now entering the market is purely playing the role of a bagholder. The most heartbreaking thing is the explosion of credit card debt; the underlying economy has been虚了 for a long time. Don’t rush to buy just because of good news; a market reversal can leave you battered. Holding a smaller position makes you sleep peacefully; those who went all-in are already regretting it. The US stock market is shaking, and Bitcoin simply can't take off; don’t think too highly of the US. Now it all depends on who can resist the urge to move; they are the true winners.

Rate cuts are coming but it’s useless; Americans are drowning in debt and wages aren’t rising, the economy is fundamentally weak --- It’s time to chase the gains again, but this time really control your hands and don’t go all-in --- The news has already been priced in, entering now might just make you the bagholder --- No matter how bullish Bitcoin is, it can’t escape the influence of US stocks and the dollar; better to stay optimistic about these two --- When the economy is so fragile, we should instead focus on stability; trying some idle money is okay, but don’t go all-in --- Expectations of rate cuts have already been priced in; if it actually happens, it might cause a crash --- When US credit card debt hits the ceiling, it’s a sign that the recent rise is a bit risky, don’t be overly optimistic --- Controlling your position size is the key to survival; thinking about going all-in is just talk --- The whole market is trembling; don’t expect Bitcoin to fly solo? You’re overthinking it --- Staying steady is more important than anything; if you’re unprepared for big volatility, it’s game over
