The Federal Reserve's final FOMC meeting minutes of the year have just been released, sending a clear signal: FOMC members are beginning to seriously consider further rate cuts. The minutes contain no explosive content, but the stance is very clear—dovish sentiment has prevailed. Many policymakers expressed willingness to explore the next steps for rate cuts, contingent on continued soft inflation data. This "wait for the data" attitude leaves ample room for market imagination.

As macroeconomic policies turn warmer, the crypto market has also responded. Bitcoin is currently fluctuating between $88,000 and $90,000, with a standard large arc bottom forming on the candlestick chart—usually indicating accumulated bullish strength. In the short term, it may continue to oscillate within the range, but the pattern itself reveals a message: a bottom is being forged.

Interestingly, traditional assets are also active. Spot gold slightly rose this morning during the Asian session, quoted at $4,342.50 per ounce. The increase is modest but the direction is clear. More notably, gold has gained a total of 65% this year—what does this number indicate? Under expectations of easing, investors are voting with their feet, and hedging assets are gaining popularity across the board. The synchronized upward movement of cryptocurrencies and gold is a true reflection of increased market risk appetite.
