The recent market focus is very clear: once the Federal Reserve begins a rate cut cycle, where will the massive low-cost US dollar flow to?



Why can a single statement from politicians shake traders? Essentially, it’s a game of psychological expectations. When official statements are still ambiguous, the market is already speculating about the next move. This expectation gap directly influences asset prices—stock markets, the crypto space, and more so, traders adjust their positions based on the perceived wind direction.

What does a rate cut mean for the crypto market? Lower real interest rates mean higher costs for holding cash, so funds naturally seek high-yield safe-haven or growth assets. Highly volatile coins (like ZEC, DOGE) often become the first choice for incremental capital. But here’s a trap: don’t just look at slogans; focus on the key indicator—"real interest rate"—that truly drives capital flows.

Currently, the situation is a tug-of-war between the White House’s statements and the Federal Reserve’s reports. Short-term volatility will be amplified, but the real opportunity lies in the moment expectations are fulfilled. Smart capital has already been pondering: once liquidity is unleashed, which asset will be the first to be chased?

What’s your view? Do you prefer to position before the policy announcement, or wait until clear signals are confirmed?
ZEC-5,13%
DOGE-1,87%

Haha, really, a politician's一句话 can cause the coin price to fluctuate thousands. We retail investors are just gambling on their words.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is really a game of hot potato; the key is to see who doesn't have the "flower" in their hand...

Honestly, it's just a gamble on policy statements now; whoever guesses correctly makes money.

Uh... this move really is betting on politicians' words, feels a bit hollow. With interest rate cuts coming, where will the money flow? Honestly, it still depends on the actual interest rates. I previously fell into the trap of "expectation gap" before, and now I dare not make any reckless moves.

ngl, if you're actually thinking real rates matter more than fed jawboning, you're already ahead of 95% of degens in here. most just chase zec/doge hype without looking at the data.

Ambush? It's more like betting on politicians' bluster. Anyway, the volatility before the rate cut is the best opportunity to average down.

To be honest, right now it's just a gamble on timing. Whoever can hit that point precisely will make a fortune.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is really just hype, but the key is whether the actual interest rates truly come down. slogans are useless.
