Recently, the market is quite interesting; on one side, BTC is fluctuating at a high level, while on the other side, the Fed has begun to play the "interest rate cut suspense drama."
First, let's share some explosive news: this autumn, a certain big shot has made a move again—spending at least $82 million to buy bonds in one go. Documents disclosed by the U.S. government's Office of Ethics last Saturday show that this money landed on October 17 and 20, purchasing solid hard currency: corporate bonds from giants in tech and manufacturing like Netflix, Meta, and Boeing, as well as bonds issued by Wall Street veterans like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. What's even more interesting is that municipal bonds issued by local school districts, utilities, and hospitals were not spared either. By the way, during the government term, they also conveniently acquired shares in Intel—this operation certainly doesn’t seem like just a casual play.
Now let's turn our attention to the Fed. The latest data from CME's "Fed Watch" is a bit heart-wrenching: as of 7 AM Beijing time on November 17, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in December has fallen below 50%, now only at 44.4%. It's worth noting that not long ago, the market was convinced that there would be a rate cut by the end of the year. Now, in this situation, even Goldman Sachs analysts are anxious, stating that "insufficient data has disrupted the rhythm," and the original script of "one cut in December, a pause in January" may need to be rewritten.
James Bianco, the president of Bianco Research, boldly stated: "The Fed is undergoing significant changes." The implication behind this statement is clear—don't expect policies to follow the old path. For the crypto market, this uncertainty is a double-edged sword: it could either drive BTC up due to risk-averse sentiment or lead to a direct pullback if liquidity expectations fall short. At this point in time, those holding coins likely need to be more vigilant.

The interest rate cut expectations have been shattered, this is going to be interesting...
Wait, will we really follow the new script?
This 82 million deal... has some substance
BTC is trembling at a high position, I'm trembling too, who will give in first?
As soon as the liquidity expectations fall through, it directly becomes disappointing, I've seen this operation too many times
The Fed's "mystery drama" is just to tease the appetite
Double-edged sword? Sounds nice, but no one knows how to proceed
With the market like this, what's the point of being vigilant, anyway you can't see clearly...

Interest rate cut suspense drama? Haha, are we supposed to binge-watch this? With a 44% probability, what else can we expect? Prepare to face reality, haha.
This wave of BTC high-level fluctuations feels like waiting for a signal. The liquidity expectations falling through really got us stuck.
More than 80 million dollars dumped into bonds, this move... something's off, the signals are overwhelming.
Is the Fed about to change its stance? Then we need to realign our positions, those holding coins really should be cautious.
It's another game of uncertainty, the term double-edged sword fits well, is it set for profit or loss just like that?

The probability of interest rate cuts has fallen to 44%? That's funny, the Fed is truly the Schrödinger's dove.
It's just high-level volatility and policy reversals; holding coins feels like playing with your heartbeat.
Investing 82 million in bonds, is this guy really optimistic or hedging something?
Uncertainty is the most deadly; this is when mindset is really tested.
Not enough data disrupts the rhythm? To put it bluntly, there’s no bottom line for interest rate cuts.
The Fed's flip-flopping, should BTC run or buy the dip this time? It's really hard to judge.
Watching others go all in, and I'm just trembling on the sidelines.
Once the policy changes, liquidity disappears; that’s the most heartbreaking part.
Retail investors must be in the losing money textbook right now.
Goldman Sachs is anxious, which shows that even the big players didn’t expect the subsequent plot.

The probability of interest rate cuts has fallen below 50%, which is absurd. Those hoping to buy the dip by the end of the year might be in for a disappointment.
---
A pro is reportedly dumping 82 million to buy bonds? It seems they still find traditional assets reliable.
---
The Fed is playing a suspense drama, and holders are probably not sleeping well right now.
---
The term double-edged sword is really excellent; BTC is either going to the moon or crashing down.
---
What happened to the promised interest rate cuts by the end of the year? Even Goldman Sachs is panicking about the script change, haha.
---
It's ridiculous; just two weeks ago, they said stable rate cuts, and now the probability has directly slumped 50%.
---
Uncertainty is the worst; regardless of whether it's good or bad, the fear is of policy reversals.
---
Wanting meta, Netflix, and Boeing bonds; is this person really wealthy or just well-informed?
---
At this position, those holding coins really need to be careful; a pullback could come at any time.
---
Major changes at the Fed? Then I need to rethink my BTC strategy.

The bond allocation strategy is somewhat similar to the way nobles hoarded ancient books during the Renaissance—both are preparations for uncertainty. With the Fed rewriting the script, the liquidity expectations in the encryption space also need to be completely re-evaluated, which is interesting.

Interest rate cuts are gone, liquidity is also gone, this is the current game rule.
The Fed is really playing with us, where is the promised interest rate cut?
80 million dumped into bonds, this guy really has money, our BTC still has to look at the Fed's expression.
If there are no interest rate cuts, next year the crypto world may be tough.
This wave of market is betting on the Fed, if you bet wrong, it's time to Cut Loss.
Holding coins really requires caution, otherwise you could get trapped.
The Fed changing its tune is indeed a bit disgusting.
Without liquidity, what is BTC rising for, everyone wake up.

Rate cut suspense? I’m just the fool who got trapped by this script, didn’t even see the warning signs of buying the top.
---
44.4% chance of dropping below 50%... I knew this would happen this year, the technicals already gave bearish signals.
---
Once again playing the high-level bag-holding game, MACD already had a death cross and I’m still sleepwalking, gotta set your stop-loss, everyone.
---
Liquidity expectations dashed? To put it bluntly, my stop-loss is about to get triggered. No matter how you look at it, this is a head and shoulders pattern.
---
Fed changes? Damn, let me just finish my own market cycle first, the sentiment indicators are off the charts right now.
---
82 million to buy bonds, they’re positioning while I’m getting slaughtered—completely different mindsets.

Probability of interest rate cuts falling below 50%? This is the real black swan, why is BTC still swaying at a high position?
The Fed is starting to play psychological warfare again, I've said before not to trust their words.
80 million smashing bonds? Isn't this just hedging something, those who understand know it.
The real trouble is that there will be no liquidity next year, those buying the dip now need to be careful.
Interest rate cut expectations have collapsed, this time it really might need adjustment.
The Fed changes its stance faster than the crypto world, I've seen through this routine.
Want to earn easy money by the end of the year? Dream on, holding coins now really requires restraint.
Big players are buying the dip on bonds, we retail investors should be cautious.
With such large policy uncertainties, following the trend is just looking for death.
Interest rate cuts are off the table, how much longer can BTC hold on? That's a good question.
