Recently, the violent pump of BTC and ETH hides a key signal - the Fed's policy balance is tipping.
The market has been like it has been pumped these past two days, and many people haven't figured out what is going on. In fact, the answer is hidden in the recent intensive statements from several core officials of the Fed.
Several important allies of Powell have almost simultaneously released dovish signals, expressing support for continuing interest rate cuts in December. Their logic is clear: the current risk of a weak labor market has overshadowed concerns about rising inflation. The policy balance is beginning to tilt towards easing.
Data becomes more direct: The market expectation probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in December has surged from around 40% to 80% within a week. This drastic change in expectation has directly ignited risk assets.
Many sharp players in the circle have already sensed this trend and positioned themselves with long positions in advance, and they've indeed reaped the rewards this time.
That said, the temperament of the crypto market is unpredictable, and it remains to be seen how long the macro narrative can hold up. After a short-term frenzy, one must still maintain clarity.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is really intense, I reacted a step too slowly and got stuck with it.

There was an 80% chance that this should have been seen earlier. I started to Build a Position two weeks ago, and now looking at the on-chain data, there are still arbitrage opportunities.

Powell and his team are really point shaving, and those who bought the dip in advance definitely made a lot of money.

Those who laid out their plans early are indeed making a fortune, while I, being late to the game, am still losing out.

The Fed is dovish, and the suckers are starting to daydream again. If only I had known earlier, I would have made a fortune. Now, those who are late to realize are just entering a position, and they won't even know how they'll get wiped out.

Powell and his group are really point shaving, no wonder it's been rising so fiercely these past couple of days.
