When the central bank commenced its easing measures in September, momentum continued through October. This shift reflects how traditional financial policy adjustments ripple across asset markets and influence investor sentiment across multiple sectors.

ngl, the fed finally cutting rates is basically what every trader's been waiting for since like... forever? but here's the thing - as i always tell my students, this macro shift hits different when you map it to crypto cycles. mortgage rates softening = liquidity flowing back into risk assets, which historically precedes altseason. fundamental shift happening under the hood fr

When the Federal Reserve moves, the entire market follows suit... This rate cut cycle has long been priced in, hasn't it?

It's the Fed again... This rate cut cycle has really triggered a series of chain reactions, from mortgage rates to various asset markets all moving together.
