The probability of the Federal Reserve not raising interest rates in January has soared to 82.8% in the past two days, which is a significant signal for the crypto market.
Many people might think that "holding steady" means no significant movement, but in fact, it gives the market a reassurance. The expectation of rate hikes has completely dissipated, which means funds won't rush to exit due to concerns about further tightening. More importantly, although rate cuts haven't started immediately, there is a brewing possibility of rate cuts in March, and this expectation alone can stabilize market sentiment.
For digital assets, policy certainty is far more important than specific numbers. When major macro uncertainties disappear, BTC and other mainstream cryptocurrencies can focus on maintaining their bottoms without being caught off guard by sudden policy shocks.
There is no need to panic and sell at this stage. Instead of frequent trading, it's better to hold onto high-quality tokens and wait for the rate cut logic to gradually ferment. No one can predict when the market will turn, but at least the current environment is less harsh.

I believe the 82.8% probability; I finally don't have to worry every day waiting for Powell's speech.
Hold tight and stay put, just waiting for the story of interest rate cuts in March to start.

82.8% Honestly, this probability gives me peace of mind.
Hold onto mainstream coins and that's it, don't operate frequently.
Wait for the interest rate cut logic to ferment; I'm not so hopeless now.

82.8% Can you really trust it? Feels like it's always hyped up this way
Wait, if the interest rate cut is really coming, should we get on board early?
Holding onto quality coins sounds good, but I'm afraid it might just be a scythe harvest again
Macro certainty > specific numbers, this statement is quite interesting
No rate hike = stability? I don't think so, history tends to repeat itself
Whether the coins in hand are considered quality or not, that's the real issue
A rate cut in March is brewing... it's just another hype about expectations
I agree, don't panic sell, but don't keep holding and sleeping either
When certainty disappears, the market might become even more wild. Do you agree?
