The Federal Reserve's December policy meeting concluded—interest rate cut by 25 basis points, with a voting split of 7:3, and the remaining two votes abstained.
How to interpret this result? Seven members believe the economy requires a modest easing, three advocate for a more aggressive rate cut, two remain on the sidelines, and one did not express a stance. Powell ultimately set the tone: cut by one level first, with future adjustments based on data.
Market reaction? U.S. stocks surged directly, the dollar index came under pressure and retreated, Bitcoin and Ethereum showed some performance under easing expectations. In this environment, risk assets regained attention.
Speaking of investment opportunities—those meme tokens in the Ethereum ecosystem following hot trends, especially in an environment with low Gas fees and eco-friendliness, have indeed attracted quite a bit of attention. Particularly those around popular tech IPs, although highly risky, short-term liquidity remains considerable in a warming market sentiment. Beginners should be especially cautious, as these assets are highly volatile and prone to high risk.
Overall, rate cut cycles tend to boost risk appetite, and various tokens are eager to move. But fundamental analysis remains essential—don't follow the herd blindly.

Just cut the interest rate if you want, the 7:3 voting result is a bit conservative, it should have been more aggressive earlier. Look at those brothers still calling for caution—wake up.

The implementation of rate cuts is a signal to start rallying. The US stock market has already taken off, so why isn't Bitcoin moving? Basically, it's all about watching the subsequent data. Anyway, in the short term, risk appetite is just like this.

Interest rate cuts are just bubbles we’re being told about—time to jump back in?
---
Meme coins are really absurd, always the ones losing money the most.
---
Powell played it well, cutting rates first and then watching what happens.
---
The Ethereum ecosystem is about to celebrate again—are your pockets ready?
---
A 7:3 vote shows someone’s getting impatient; the radicals want to stir trouble.
---
Lower gas fees don’t mean lower risk, everyone—don’t get cut too badly.
---
As US stocks soar, Bitcoin is following suit—this rhythm feels familiar.
---
For newbies, touching meme coins is like playing with fire; I’m not messing with that stuff anymore.
---
Fundamentals? Let’s make quick money first—anyway, it’s all about a gambler’s mindset.
---
The dollar index is falling, and risk assets are taking turns leading.
---
Let’s see how high it can go; hopefully, it’s not just another flash in the pan.

Powell's move this time is a typical fence-sitter approach. The rate was cut, but not aggressively enough. The market has been overly excited these past few days.
Now meme coins are basically gambling. They do have good short-term liquidity, but they can be smashed instantly. Beginners should avoid these.
The Fed's 7:3 voting split indicates that no one truly sees the full picture; everyone is just betting on the data.
A rate cut cycle does not equal steady profits; it still depends on fundamentals. Don't follow trend-driven projects with zero basic knowledge.
BTC is a bit overvalued this time. It might be wiser to wait and sell later.

Interest rate cuts are back to shake out newcomers. Meme coins are indeed tempting this time, but I'm still hesitant. I'll continue to dollar-cost average into mainstream coins.

You're starting to tell stories again, saying that lowering interest rates can save the market. Fine, let's wait and see.

Lowering interest rates is indeed a spring breeze, but I think those Meme coins should still be cautious. Following the trend last time led to big losses.
