At 3 a.m. tomorrow, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of the December policy meeting. This document is highly anticipated because there is a clear divergence within the Fed regarding inflation outlook and economic risks.

Most importantly—why did they decide to pause? How long will the rate cut cycle last? The minutes may reveal more clues. For trading markets, this could mean a re-pricing of the subsequent monetary policy pace.

Meeting minutes at 3 AM... Monitoring shows that the Fed's recent divergence is quite interesting. From the code logic perspective, the real reason behind the pause button being pressed might be much more complex than the official statements. It's worth noting that the market is now starting to price in this, which is why I have been digging for clues in on-chain data.

Waiting at 3 a.m. to review the minutes, it might just be another false alarm. The Fed's internal divisions are so obvious by now. Pressing the pause button means they dare not cut rates. Instead of waiting for the minutes, it's better to watch Powell's expression. Is the rate cut cycle dead? That's the real question. Don't tell me about any subtle signs. The market still oscillates after the minutes are released. Anyway, I can't bet on the direction anymore. When will the Fed's opinions be unified? It's always the same routine, making traders anxious. Why does every new minutes seem like "new news"? It's just old tunes being played again. If expectations of rate cuts flip again this wave, I'll just completely give up. No matter what the minutes say, it won't change much. The key still depends on the data. Let's wait and see if there will be any surprises at 3 a.m... Most likely, it's just disappointment again. Division is division, anyway retail investors can never guess right.

Staying up until 3 a.m. just to read this minutes. The Fed folks have such big internal disagreements—are they really dovish or just pretending to be hawkish?

Staying up at 3 a.m. just to watch the Fed shift blame—these days are unbearable. Hawkish or dovish, we'll know tomorrow who's pretending to be naive. Will you gamble or not? Whether they pause or not, it doesn't matter; in the end, it's still us retail investors footing the bill. Before the minutes are released, there are all kinds of predictions; afterward, it's a different story. We're tired of this script. Rate cut cycle? Laughable. Even the Fed itself doesn't know what to do next. Internal division? Just pretending to be divided, leaving room for future maneuvers. Let's wait and see—how many opportunities to cut the leeks will this minutes release create?

At 3 a.m., I couldn't even wake up with the alarm, and now I have to read the Federal Reserve minutes. These people are really something. Is the Fed now in internal conflict or what? What happened to the promised rate cut path? Pressing the pause button, will they continue to slam afterwards? That's what traders really care about. I bet five bucks that the minutes still contain vague language, nothing can be discerned. The rate cut cycle is stuck here; it depends on how they spin the story. It's truly Schrödinger's rate cut—cutting or not cutting, right? This thing always re-prices itself anyway, and the crypto market will have another wave of volatility.
