Here comes the main event tonight: the Fed is about to make its announcement.



A 25 basis point cut? The market has already priced this in thoroughly—there’s no suspense there. What’s really worth watching isn’t whether they cut rates or not.

There are two key things to watch:
First, whether there will be internal disagreements.
I’ve heard that there’s quite a bit of arguing within the committee this time, and there may be a significant number of dissenting voices. The more people vote against it, the more it shows that even they aren’t confident, and the more uncertainty there will be in future policy.

Second, how Powell will handle the situation.
His comments are the real focus. Will he say, “We’ll pause after this cut,” or will he leave some room for market speculation? Every word he says will be dissected by the market.

To put it bluntly: the rate cut itself is just a formality. What really moves the market are the “internal disagreements” and the “post-meeting statements.”

What impact will this have on the crypto market?

A few possibilities:
If there are many dissenting votes (i.e., a lot of internal disagreement), the market will interpret this as a lack of confidence, and prices may dip in the short term.

If Powell’s speech is dovish (hinting at more rate cuts to come), the market may continue to go higher.

What’s most worrying is a black swan event—what if they don’t cut rates? Then there’s no need for analysis, just get ready for a rollercoaster ride.

So don’t rush to bet on a direction. Have your contingency plan ready first. Once the market has fully digested this round of news, the real trend will become clear.

Powell is truly a master of market psychology—one sentence from him can reverse ten rallies or drops. On the surface it's a rate cut, but in reality, he's playing an information asymmetry game.

hypothesis: powell's word salad is basically the oracle network we've been waiting for—garbage in, garbage out unless he actually commits to something concrete. ngl the dissenting votes thing is peak byzantine generals problem fr fr

Powell's words are even harder to read than candlestick charts.

Powell's mouth is the real counterparty in trading; whether rates are cut or not is just noise. The real arbitrage opportunities lie in the divisions within the committee—the more dissenting votes, the more worthwhile it is to make a move. That's the market-making mindset: don't rush to place orders, let the liquidity move around a bit first.

The issue of rate cuts has been thoroughly discussed; the key still lies in what Powell actually says. The real focus is whether those with more internal votes are against it.

How Powell words it will be key—it all depends on his performance on the spot. If there’s no rate cut, I might as well just buy a lottery ticket, since it’s all gambling anyway. The internal vote count is the real game changer; both bulls and bears need to keep a close eye on it. The market has already priced in most of it; the real focus is on the follow-up statements. Let’s wait and see how many dissenting votes there are—that’s how we’ll know if there’s still room for future rate cuts. This time, the probability of a real black swan isn’t low—we need to be prepared with stop-losses.
