The Federal Reserve interest rate decision is imminent, but the crypto market has already entered a frenzy.



Before Wednesday's policy announcement, the market widely betting on a 25 basis point rate cut. This expectation is like injecting adrenaline into risk assets — Bitcoin is currently priced at $92,300, up 2.3% in 24 hours; Ethereum is even more aggressive, surging 7% in a single day to $3,318.45, completely outpacing Bitcoin.

A rate cut should be bullish. But the problem is, such heavyweight policies often come with extreme volatility.

Many veterans are already calculating another scenario: when the actual decision is announced, profit-taking may flood out instantly. After all, the script of "good news is bad news" has played out countless times in the crypto circle. Those who buy high might be caught at the top, unable to move for a long time holding their high-priced tokens. Heavy losses are no exaggeration.

From a technical perspective, BTC has been oscillating within the $88,000 to $94,500 range over the past week. These two key levels act like a ceiling and a floor—once effectively broken, the subsequent direction will be pretty clear.

Now, it's a matter of whether it breaks upward or downward. The market is waiting for an answer.
BTC-0.24%
ETH-0.73%

Here we go again? The chives who chase the high should pay the tuition haha --- Good news lands and then runs, this logic isn't hard to understand --- Whether the 88000 line collapses or not, it决定s everything --- Feels like this wave is again sending heads to the main players, I still think it's safest not to move --- Let's wait and see the true face on Wednesday, no matter how fierce the hype is now, it's all虚的 --- Ethereum rises so rapidly that it makes me more afraid, the more anxious, the easier to翻车 --- Be honest and hold on, don't chase, history will repeat itself --- The box range is so obvious, yet people still enter the market, really... --- With interest rate cuts coming, profit-taking players should sell first, this time it's no different --- It feels like someone is accumulating and waiting for others to get caught in the trap

Good news is followed by bad news; the more aggressively it rises, the more cautious you should be. Brothers chasing the high, get ready to eat dirt. It's the same old trick, trying to dreamwalk from 92,300 to 93,000? Dream on. ETH up 7%, but I feel something's off... See you Wednesday for the real story. The range from 88,000 to 94,500 is like a casino; it could very well be a big trap.

Good news is immediately followed by bad news; this wave is probably going to cut the chives again. Brothers who chase the high, get ready to be trapped; history always repeats itself. Just wait for the Wednesday answer, anyway we can't change anything. Feels like it's time to watch the show again; whoever gets fooled is the fool. This round of carnival made me laugh; old tricks again.

nah this is the classic "priced in" trap nobody wants to admit. fed moves, algos dump, retail holders left bagholding at 94.5k while the smart money already exited. been through this cycle too many times

It's the same trick again. Before good news arrives, there's always a hype, and once the dust settles, it's time to run.

actually, if you run a basic correlation matrix between fed announcement volatility and retail liquidation cascades, the math doesn't support this "moon" narrative at all. the empirical evidence from 2022-2023 fed cycles shows a 78.3% probability of post-announcement dump, yet here we are watching people fomo like the historical data doesn't exist. wild.

They're starting to hype up expectations again. When the shoe drops, everything will crash. I bet five bucks.

Dear astronauts, the boots haven't even landed yet, and everyone is already rushing to the 94,500 orbit. Are you really not afraid of gravitational acceleration this time? Brothers chasing the high, it's recommended to calculate when to activate the emergency escape pod first. If you can't break through 88,000, you might really have to burn and re-enter. A 7% surge looks exciting, but have you thought about how it might fall? Before the breakout of the box, this is just a dopamine trap. It feels like if the Federal Reserve's shot is fired blank, the market will directly go to Mars on the spot. What if the rate cut isn't that aggressive? Then we'll just wait to be trapped at the top. By the way, the current market is just testing your psychological resilience. The real launch window hasn't opened yet.
