Wall Street rallied after the Fed's 25-basis-point cut came through as expected, though Powell's signal to pause future cuts caught some attention. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all closed in the green—markets seem relieved the tightening cycle might finally be cooling off. For now, traders are digesting what a "wait-and-see" Fed means for risk assets heading into year-end.

Powell's "pause" signal is truly remarkable; the market is now betting whether he will break his promise... Is there still hope before the end of the year?

Wait, Powell said to pause the rate cuts? Is he playing psychological games with us... It's just an illusion of a green market, there's still more to come by the end of the year.

Powell is playing psychological tactics again, pause my ass, won't we still have to continue next year?

It's green, it's green, but it feels like this rebound is just a breather, there are still variables before the end of the year
---
"Wait-and-see" sounds nice, but in fact the Fed is also panicking, look at the economic data yourself
---
All three major indices are up, but I feel this is a false breakout, January next year is the real show
---
Wait a minute, is this 25bp really enough, or are they planning some tricks again

Wait, is Powell going to pause again? How many rounds has this routine been played?🙄

Just pause if you want to pause; anyway, the interest rate cut cycle hasn't fully arrived yet...
Powell's move to "pause briefly" is really clever; the market is still guessing what it really means.
There still seems to be hope for this year's end rally.
Wow, the market actually reacted positively to a 25 basis point cut, indicating that previous expectations were quite low.
Wait, wait, wait—so is this good news or bad news...
A green chart is a signal; get in first and then see.
