After the rate cut, is the market celebrating or pretending to sleep?



The Federal Reserve finally cut interest rates by 25 basis points. This move is like a “life extension latte” for the market: not very strong, but it can boost alertness. Over the past two weeks, the market had already priced in the rally, so when the news arrives, it may not trigger a sharp surge but more likely lead to a “slow and steady” rebound.

In the short term, I am more optimistic about: BTC moving higher within its range, ETH maintaining strong rebounds, and small-cap tokens starting localized volatile trends. A rate cut means liquidity conditions are further easing, which is always a friendly sign for high-risk assets.

But note: the market won't skyrocket in a straight line. Historical experience shows that in the first week after a rate cut, volatility tends to be greater than trend, and testing prevails over frantic movement. Major players will wait for data confirmation before making directional moves. For example, if indicators like employment, inflation, and consumption all slow down simultaneously, then the asset cycle in 2025 is likely to continue a long-term upward trend.

My strategy:
* Continue holding core positions in BTC, avoid chasing highs, and only buy on dips
* With ETH's strong logic confirmed, it can be the main focus for trading
* Only play strong structural altcoins, seize emotional windows
A rate cut is just the beginning; the real trend will gradually emerge over the next 1–2 weeks. Don’t panic—sometimes slow is fast.
