#美联储启动新一轮降息周期 Is the expectation of interest rate cuts guaranteed to lead to a rise? Don't overthink it.



In the past few weeks, watching the US stock three major indices, gold, and $BTC all soaring under the "interest rate cut expectations" boost, Bitcoin even rebounded above $90,000, as if everything has been thoroughly digested. But there is a common trap that can be overlooked—the market is driven by expectations, and reality is what ultimately materializes.

Once an interest rate cut is officially announced, new doubts may arise: Did the central bank loosen monetary policy because the economy is struggling? Is inflation actually still not under control? Have the previous expectations of rate cuts been already priced in? Such counterthinking will follow one after another.

To put it simply, this is the old trick of "good news being realized = start selling." It has played out many times in history. The recent rally in risk assets has long priced in the upcoming positive news. When the actual rate cut occurs, there may instead be a wave of technical adjustments.

What is the prudent approach? Take profits at high levels, don't be too greedy. Consider buying the dip only after the correction is confirmed. Remember, what can truly support the market is the "continuous influx of funds + stable market sentiment + improving macro trend," not a single policy announcement.

The expectation of rate cuts in this round of market trend, I've been bored with it for a long time. Good news is exhausted and turns into bad news. This time, it might cause another shakeout. That 90,000 level for BTC could just be a scythe—whoever gets caught will suffer. Reducing positions is the real strategy; the greedy are just stepping stones for institutions.

Damn, it's the same old story of expected price manipulation. Can I avoid it this time? I can't bet on it.

Good news hits the ground, and then they start dumping. I can see through this trick with my eyes closed.

Oh man, this wave really requires caution. Expectations are already priced in, and if the rate cut actually happens, it might trigger a sell-off. Honestly, I've seen this trick way too many times.

Isn't this exactly the trap that the most inexperienced investors love to fall into, expecting gains, only to get cut when they cash out, cycling repeatedly. Human greed, the market is ruthless. Talking about reducing positions at high levels sounds easy, but how many can really hold on? The real risk begins when good news is confirmed, this truly hits home. Cheering before the rate cut announcement, then starting to doubt life after the announcement—classic script. Don't be blinded by expectations; the true bottom takes time to confirm, rushing is not an option. The market never lacks stories; what it lacks are those who can survive until the next cycle. History repeats itself, but every participant thinks this time is different—how laughable. Continuous funds + stable emotions + an upward trend—breaking any one of these three points is deadly. The expectation of a rate cut has been overextended, this sentence hits hard, exactly how it is now. Waiting for confirmation of the correction before bottoming out, sounds easy, but enduring the wait is much more painful than you think.

Here we go again with this pattern, expectations to buy, escape once it materializes. The $90,000 wave is indeed a bit shaky.
