Recently, the market has been a bit sluggish, and the underlying reasons are worth a deep dive.

According to the latest released Federal Reserve meeting minutes, participants in this meeting raised a common concern—the risk that the current high inflation could become entrenched and turn into a long-term stubborn problem. What does this mean? Simply put, the Fed has become more cautious about the continued rise in prices.

What’s more concerning is that attendees also hinted that further rate cuts might be misinterpreted by the market, or even understood as the Fed wavering on its 2% inflation target commitment. This creates a dilemma: on one side, the market expects more liquidity stimulation; on the other side, policymakers need to stabilize inflation expectations. When these two forces pull in opposite directions, BTC and other assets naturally lack the momentum to push higher.

In other words, as long as this macro uncertainty persists, it will be difficult for the market to experience a strong upward rally in the short term.

The Federal Reserve's strategy is really clever. They cut interest rates to prevent the market from misinterpreting, and if they don't, the market will cause a fuss. The crypto world is just caught in the middle and suffering.

It's the same old inflation story again. The Federal Reserve is playing both sides, and we're just waiting to be cut.

The Federal Reserve is caught in a dilemma—on one hand, they want to stabilize inflation, but on the other hand, they're afraid of market crashes. The crypto world is stuck in the middle; what else can they do?

Inflation expectations are locked in, and the launch window has been forced to delay, which is quite awkward. --- The Fed's recent actions directly put the rocket on the launch pad, with liquidity and inflation targets clashing, making it impossible for BTC to escape quickly. --- In simple terms, the gravitational resistance level is too tough, and the signals from the upper band of the Bollinger Bands are not visible. This correction is far from over. --- Under this dilemma, RSI dares not surge upward, and probability theory tells me that this deadlock cannot be broken in the short term. --- Until macro uncertainties dissipate, don't expect an upward trend; the fueling process is completely disrupted.
