The Federal Reserve duly implemented a 25 basis point rate cut in December, and the market has already had this expectation. More worth pondering is their clear statement that there will be one more rate cut each in 2026 and 2027 — although, based on the dot plot, the number of rate cuts is fewer than previously anticipated. However, the situation regarding the new Federal Reserve Chair is not yet fully settled, and subsequent policy space remains to be observed.

Powell sent a signal this time: employment data might have been exaggerated somewhat. This means that next Tuesday’s non-farm payrolls will become a new barometer. How the market reacts to this data could very likely redefine expectations for the future rate cut pace, thereby affecting the entire crypto asset market. So, keep a close eye on the economic calendar in the coming days.

The pace of rate cuts isn't as fast as expected; we'll have to wait and see how the non-farm payroll data turns out.

Powell is really stirring the pot this time. I believe the claim that the employment data is artificially inflated. Next week's non-farm payroll data will definitely be a turning point, and it might be the key for BTC to hit a new high.

The number of interest rate cuts is not as many as expected, it feels like the Federal Reserve pulled a fast one. Is Powell hinting that employment data is overstated? Then next week's non-farm payroll data really needs to be watched closely and not relaxed. Changing the chair + adjusting interest rate cut expectations, this rhythm is a bit chaotic, and the crypto circle is about to be stirred up again. Is the employment data "overhyped"? When the actual numbers come out, there might be a big shock. The economic calendar has been really important these past two days; ignoring the market would be pointless. The non-farm payroll data might cause another wave; everyone should be prepared. Interest rate cuts won't come so quickly, feeling a bit disappointed. Will the policies change after the new chair takes office? That's what I'm most worried about.

The rate cut expectations have already been fully priced in. The main focus remains on the non-farm payroll data, which is the real game-changer. Whether the change in leadership will alter the pace is still uncertain. Powell might be hinting at employment being inflated; next Tuesday could reveal the true picture. With the dot plot tightening so much, are we really going to reassess? Feeling a bit anxious. It's about time to buy the dip in crypto if it falls further, everyone. On the night before the non-farm payroll report, anyone who acts is essentially gambling.

The room for rate cuts isn't as big as imagined, with only one each in 2026 and 2027, and the drama of changing presidents is not over yet. Non-farm payrolls are the real test, let's wait and see next Tuesday. The issue of data manipulation has been long known, waiting to see how Powell will handle it. 2026 still seems far off; for now, non-farm data will carry the scene. The dot plot shows fewer rate cuts than expected; this pivot is a bit aggressive. Let's see if the new chairman continues to cut rates when they take over; the suspense is quite high. Powell's recent hints are indeed clever; non-farm data is becoming a ticking time bomb. Looking at the rate cut cycle this way, the crypto market needs to brace itself mentally. The chairman hasn't been clearly defined yet; the policy vacuum period is the hardest to endure. With such turbulent economic data, it's hard to predict the market trends no matter how you look at it.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is about to be proven wrong again, will it really happen in 2026? I think this time it's mainly waiting for the non-farm payrolls to set the tone, anything said now is just pointless.
