The Fed’s 25bp cut landed, and Powell immediately followed up with, “Yes, rates are down, but inflation is still with me,” hitting the market right where it hurts.
The result? US stocks are all over the place, Bitcoin is stumbling back and forth from the $90,000 level, and retail accounts suddenly lost $200 million—how painful is that? This is the reality of rate cut policies—it may look bullish, but in reality, it’s a constant back-and-forth.
To put it plainly, instead of hoping for continuous rate cuts to save the market, it’s better to realize that every signal released is just testing the market’s limits. Rate cuts aren’t a lifeline; they’re more like a never-ending psychological battle.
To survive in this kind of market, you have to learn to adjust your thinking in step with policy changes, not get dragged around by coin price swings. With top assets like Ethereum and Bitcoin, volatility is just that intense—you really need strong mental preparation to handle it.

It's the same old trick again. Cutting interest rates is worse than not cutting them at all. Truly a pain.

Powell's move this time is really brilliant—teasing a rate cut to keep everyone in suspense. That's exactly how retail investors get squeezed.

Powell’s combo move is truly brilliant. As soon as the rate cut statement was released, the market started performing acrobatics. Retail investors are still sleepwalking.

Powell's comment is really something else—even with a rate cut, the coins still drop. This psychological game is truly unmatched.

Powell’s attitude is really something—blaming inflation for not cutting rates, is he playing mind games?

Powell's words are really something—he still had to throw in that comment even while talking about rate cuts. Truly scheming.

As soon as Powell said this, it really was a case of both cutting rates and getting criticized. The market's reaction was unbelievable. $200 million is gone—how painful that must be.

Powell's attitude is really something—on one hand, he talks about rate cuts, and on the other, he brings up inflation. It's all just psychological warfare.
