Wall Street rallied after the Federal Reserve delivered its widely anticipated quarter-point rate cut. What's interesting here? Even though the Fed's messaging suggested they're hitting pause on additional cuts for the time being, traders aren't buying it. Markets are pricing in more easing ahead anyway.

The disconnect is telling. Powell and team might be saying "wait and see," but the Street's reading between the lines. Inflation trends, employment data, and economic headwinds all point toward a continuation of the easing cycle despite the official stance.

Equity markets clearly liked what they heard - or rather, what they chose to interpret. Risk appetite is back as investors position for a softer monetary policy environment going forward, regardless of the Fed's cautious rhetoric.

Powell: We have paused, really. The market: We don't believe it, keep speculating. --- It's the same old trick, saying pause but acting honestly. --- Laughing to death, the Fed says stop, traders hear continue, this disconnect is so typical. --- Market speculation never ends, sooner or later it will be paid for. --- Funds love this routine, say whatever, listen to whatever, all depends on imagination. --- Powell keeps pretending, but the market sees through it, it's still the same old story.

the fed says pause, markets say lol no. classic disconnect between what officials telegraph vs what actually happens next—governance primitives breaking down in real time.

Hmm... Powell lied again, and the market bet correctly once more --- Fed stagnation? Ha, traders are all laughing about saving on gas fees --- Alert: nap time! Wake up, the market is arbitraging the Fed's speech --- Powell: "Stop, stop, stop"... Market: "Relax, relax, relax"... I'm still sleeping, never mind --- This is a classic case of saying one thing and doing another, which is why I prefer on-chain data—no fakes --- That's brilliant, traders have become psychologists --- Can't wake up anymore, everyone, but it seems this arbitrage opportunity is about to disappear --- Tbh, the market's pricing ability is still much stronger than the Fed's tough talk

Powell says pause, but the market's ears are all listening for further rate cuts, which is just ridiculous. No matter what Powell says, Wall Street has already written its own script. This is how the market operates—listening to half of the official statements and filling in the gaps with their own imagination... No, this is basically gambling. It feels like this bull market is purely supported by "imagination space," which is really a bit虚.

Fed says pause, the market just acts like it didn't hear, this move is clever haha --- Powell's statements are not trusted, everyone is betting there will be interest rate cuts later --- Typically claiming pause on the surface, but traders are buying and selling wildly... the market is always smarter than the official --- Basically, inflation isn't fully dead, employment is weak, the rate cut cycle is far from over --- This rebound is purely market self-entertainment, insisting on finding interest rate cut signals in Powell's words --- lol fed wants to appear calm, but the market interprets it as a hint of upcoming policy easing, no one can match this coordination

Powell wants to deceive us into pausing again? Come on, Wall Street is smart, they're betting on the next rate cut. Nice words, but the market doesn't buy it at all. Let's just wait and see what the upcoming data says. Powell is just blustering, Wall Street has seen through it long ago... the rate cut cycle is still long. It's so contradictory, saying to pause but actually cutting rates? This script is already worn out. That group on Wall Street has a knack for reading minds; whatever the Fed says is understood the opposite, ha. Risk appetite is back again, it looks like the upcoming money scene will be good.

Who still believes Powell's rhetoric? Traders all know what's going on, and continuing to loosen is highly probable.
