This round of rate cuts, the crypto market's celebration didn't even last ten minutes before being doused with cold water.



The Federal Reserve did indeed cut rates, bringing the interest rate to the 3.5%-3.75% range—third consecutive time, with a 25 basis point cut each time, a steady rhythm like automatic transmission. But the key point is that the attitude behind the rate cut is as firm as a rock.

The dot plot made it clear: one cut each year for the next two years, no more than that. Internal officials are arguing fiercely, with disagreements so big you can imagine the tense atmosphere in the meeting room. Continuing to loosen? Not a chance.

Powell's words are still the old familiar script: soft employment data, inflation acting like a rebellious child, and risks still climbing. Goldman Sachs is even more direct—one sentence sets the tone: the preemptive rate cuts are over, don’t expect any more sweetness ahead.

The crypto circle was originally eager to take off, Bitcoin briefly surged then was pushed back down. The Fed’s moves never follow the usual rules, the market is always guessing. Assets like TRUTH, ETH, ZEC can now only follow the market’s mood and act accordingly.

Ultimately, this rate cut feels more like routine work than a signal gun.
BTC-2,33%
ETH-3,38%
ZEC-19,38%

Here we go again with this. A rate cut is a rate cut, don't give me some kind of preemptive bullshit... Powell just pretends. Why did Bitcoin drop again?

Powell really knows how to play; cutting interest rates isn't really a cut, and the crypto world has been quite mocked.

Once again fooled by the Federal Reserve, is this all after all the fuss? Rate cuts are useless, the tricks are deep, everyone. Powell's speech sounds like a prayer, I just want to know when there will be real good news. Bitcoin's recent performance is too awkward, it surges then drops, forget about my position. Preemptive rate cuts have reached the end, this sentence is like a verdict, there’s no show after this. The Federal Reserve is driving an automatic, and we in the crypto circle are just passengers, with no choice. Feeling beaten and still pretending to be happy, it's too hard. Even after rate cuts, they still pressure BTC—this logic is brilliant. Only one rate cut every two years? Then I have to wait two years for hope. Why do I keep betting it won't face a backlash? I got caught up in the hype.

Once again, the Fed has played us. This rate cut is really just a smokescreen.
