The Federal Reserve's recent move was truly surprising—after cutting rates by 25 basis points, Powell's entire speech tone was completely dovish. Usually, after a rate cut, the Fed Chair shifts to hawkish statements to balance market expectations, but this time, they did a complete 180, which is rare in recent years.
The highlights are in these details: First, the statement on inflation changed from "continued monitoring" to a stance of "maintaining at low levels over the long term"; second, the option of raising interest rates has been completely put aside, with the current Fed pace being either rate cuts or holding steady—two choices; additionally, the official clearly stated an intention to increase Treasury bond purchases to ease market liquidity pressure. Simply put, it’s a continuous easing posture.
Regarding the rising unemployment rate, the Fed partly attributed it to AI technology disruptions, but more space was spent arguing "this is not a long-term trend." The implied message is: don't panic, we will use liquidity to hedge.
What does this mean for the crypto market? It's quite straightforward—when dollar liquidity is abundant, funds will always seek an outlet. The stock market has already reached this level, and bond yields are not high, so high-volatility, high-yield crypto assets naturally become the preferred destination for hot money. $BTC, $ETH, these leading assets will be the first to attract attention, but as market sentiment warms, secondary coins are also likely to follow suit.
Some believe Powell turned dovish because of term considerations, but frankly, that’s not very important. For the crypto world, whether policies change is more directly impactful on prices than the reasons behind those policies. Liquidity easing → influx of funds into high-risk assets—that is a rigid logic.
The question is: how long can this rally last? Can $BTC break previous highs? Or will it follow a pattern of rising first, then falling? All depends on whether subsequent Fed actions align with the speech, and whether economic data supports this easing expectation. In the short term, market sentiment has clearly improved, but whether a lasting upward momentum can form depends on whether the fundamentals support it.

Powell really didn't hold back this time, signaling liquidity injection directly, and hot money has nowhere to go but into the crypto market.
Wait, how long this logic can hold is the real question, and hopefully it’s not another story of soaring first and crashing to zero later.
The Fed playing this game is indeed beneficial in the short term, but if economic data doesn’t cooperate, it will be awkward.
That position of $BTC is really uncertain whether it will break through or not, depends on whether the subsequent actions are genuine.
Liquidity injection is a necessity, but who dares to guarantee its sustainability?
Once the market sentiment picks up, I’m just worried there will be another rapid cooling down later.
Policy changes are more important than the reasons behind them, everyone in the crypto circle understands this; it still depends on concrete actions.
Hope this time won’t end like last time, with a premature tailing off.
Liquidity injection is indeed friendly to us, but don’t celebrate too early; the Federal Reserve is very unpredictable.
A good signal is a good signal, but I still want to see what the situation looks like in three months.

Liquidity injection is here, and this time they’re really serious... Powell’s attitude is a bit fierce, directly paving the way for us.
Wait, will secondary coins really follow suit? I’m looking to see if LUNA can turn around this time, it feels promising.
Liquidity is like poison mixed with honey, it feels great in the short term, but what about later?
We must keep an eye on the Federal Reserve’s next moves. If the data doesn’t support this narrative, it’s game over.
If BTC really breaks the previous high, I’ll go all in, but it doesn’t seem that simple...
We can’t control what Powell is thinking, anyway, just keep the liquidity flowing—that’s the rigid logic.
Will privacy coins like ZEC also benefit? Is it inevitable that relaxed regulation will boost their prices?
Market sentiment improving ≠ sustainable. I’ll just watch this wave for now.

Powell's move this time is really quite aggressive; it's just pumping and done.
Wait, what's going on with LUNA and ZEC? Do these two coins still have potential?
Liquidity easing sounds great, but I'm worried it's just a fleeting moment.
It's hard to say whether BTC will break through the recent high; it seems that the subsequent data will be the key.
The dovish turnaround happened so quickly, it feels a bit suspicious...
Hot money really has nowhere to go this time; it can only be poured into the crypto space.
How long can this last? I bet five dollars it will still dip.
Secondary coins following the trend? Let's see how the mainstream coins move first; don't get too optimistic.
The Fed is just drawing a pie again; in the end, the crypto community always gets cut.

Powell's recent moves are truly impressive; the liquidity expectation is indeed beneficial for the crypto market.
It's the usual story of ample liquidity, and funds will inevitably pour into high-risk assets. BTC might surge in the short term.
But honestly, whether this trend continues depends on whether the Federal Reserve actually follows through; don't just talk, take action.
Secondary coins will definitely follow the trend this wave. For tokens like Luna and Zec, it depends on whether the subsequent narratives can support the price.
I'm a bit worried about a pattern of rise followed by fall happening again; it's always the same routine.
Can this market sustain until the end of the year? I'm not very confident in placing bets.
It feels like the fundamentals are still the same; it all depends on how long hot money is willing to keep speculating.

Liquidity is coming, is it time to buy the dip? But keep a close watch on whether Powell will backtrack again...

Powell has truly given up resistance this time, directly turning on the money printing machine mode.
Now, hot money has nowhere to go and must pour into the crypto circle... Wait, the problem is, can $LUNA$ZEC catch it?
To be honest, short-term sentiment is indeed overwhelming, but I'm still a bit anxious—how long can this loose monetary expectation last? I'm really worried it might just be a false fire.
The Federal Reserve says nice things, but what if their actual operations slip up? When that happens, the decline could be even worse than the rise.
Can Bitcoin break a new high? I can't bet for sure, but the logic of liquidity flooding definitely makes sense.

Powell's move really handed the crypto world a soft target, just flooding the market.
If you ask me, there's no way out of this pattern; BTC still depends on whether the Federal Reserve truly changes its mind.
Short-term sentiment is boosted, but how long can this last? Feels like we're about to get trapped again.
That Luna bunch still thinking of a comeback? Dreaming too much, haha.
It's definitely time to jump in when liquidity is flooding in, but I'm just worried that when the time comes, the bagholders will be us.

Powell's move this time is really somewhat outrageous, directly flooding the market without any negotiation. Hot money should flow where it wants to go, and this time the crypto circle is a bit different.
Honestly, I'm just waiting to see if BTC can break new highs. The short-term sentiment has indeed improved, but what about the fundamentals? Let's wait and see.
The floodgates are open, and secondary coins will probably follow suit this time, but the longevity is still uncertain.
Powell's hand is played quite aggressively, I just worry that the Federal Reserve's words and actions might become inconsistent later, which would be funny.
Haha, it's the old script of funds having nowhere to go again. Whether this can truly break the deadlock or just another round of chopping up retail investors depends on whether the data supports it.
The Federal Reserve flooding the market makes the crypto circle happy, but I'm still a bit cautious, worried that this might just be a flash in the pan.
The logic of liquidity flooding is indeed rigid; the key question is how long it can last.
