Tonight, Powell's speech hinted at some dovish signals, and there might still be room for rate cuts next year. However, the market reaction was quite intense, with sharp swings back and forth, causing both gains and losses.
Honestly, chasing long positions in this kind of market carries high risk. If you want to short, placing limit orders for a pullback might be more prudent. Regardless of being long or short, setting proper stop-losses is essential—without stops, you're essentially naked trading in this volatile environment.
Currently, for those building positions at the bottom, I personally suggest holding steady and not being shaken out. For mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, and SOL, if your positions are reasonable and your costs are low, panic selling now could cause you to miss subsequent market opportunities. Of course, for those caught in a loss, re-evaluating your holdings based on your entry price and risk tolerance to see if adjustments are possible, or even finding opportunities to turn losses into gains, is also a wise move.
Market volatility is normal; staying calm is more important than anything else.

Here comes the needle insertion again for harvesting, I'm used to it by now, really annoying.
Pigeon signal, what a joke, still just cutting leeks, old tricks.
To everyone bottom-fishing, hold on, don’t be shaken out by this wave.
Stop-loss must be set; not doing so is asking for trouble.
How to view this wave of BTC? It feels like it still needs to continue bottoming out.
Stay calm, stay calm, don’t panic and operate randomly, this is the way to survive.
The most testing time for your mindset is during needle insertion; not everyone can handle it.
Rate cut space? Let’s see the market’s true reaction first; speeches often contrast sharply with reality.
Friends with reasonable positions and low costs should indeed hold their ground; selling now is not worth it.

Powell's move was indeed impressive, but this needle-insertion rhythm was absolutely top-notch, catching me off guard.
Being able to hold is what makes you a winner. I’m currently holding on with all I’ve got.
Brothers who haven't set stop-losses, you're probably crying right now.
BTC remains firm; buying at the bottom will definitely not be a loss.
What are you panicking for? Volatility is just like this—stay patient, and you'll win.

Powell's recent actions are truly a harvest; the crypto circle is about to undergo another round of cleansing.
Not setting stop-losses is basically giving away money, I'm serious.
Hold tight to the long positions with low cost, don't scare yourself into closing them.
That's just how the market is, no need to panic.
Bitcoin's situation still needs to be watched; it feels like the full potential hasn't been unleashed yet.

Dovish signal? Haha, here we go again with the storytelling. Anyway, I’m not chasing this wave; wait for a pullback and see. Just set your stop-loss properly.
Wait, brothers who bought at the bottom, don’t panic. This is just the beginning.
Honestly, with such aggressive needle insertion, I’d rather wait and die than chase.
It’s the same old story, stay calm... the market is like this, get used to it.
For those caught in a trap, I advise you not to move now. Cutting losses is the biggest loss.
What’s the use of space for interest rate cuts? It’s just a game now.
I still believe in mainstream coins; don’t be shaken out.
Have you set your stop-loss? If not, it’s still not too late.
Listening to Powell’s words is just for reference; don’t take it seriously.

Powell is really just harvesting in this wave, feels like the old tricks are back
Same old rhetoric, attracting longs to enter then smashing the market again, just the old routine
Holding onto the bottom buys and refusing to sell, closing positions results in heavy losses, and when the market turns, it's regret all over
I'm just lying flat on SOL, anyway whether it drops or rises, I’ll wait
This pinning spike was really disgusting, placing orders and waiting for a pullback is the right move
Setting stop-losses properly is really important; those without this awareness are the ones getting harvested
Now those closing their positions probably have to cry

Powell's recent speech is a typical case of "stand by" and then "not fully" follow through. Historically, such ambiguous signals often trigger the most intense volatility, as the market is still digesting the expectation gap.
