The Fed will hold a meeting this month, and a rate cut is almost a certainty. But the market has long digested this news. The real drama isn’t about whether rates will be cut, but about what Powell says—if he keeps things vague and says “we’ll take it step by step,” then be prepared for short-term volatility; but if he lays out the roadmap for next year, big capital will immediately dare to pour into Bitcoin and major coins.

To put it bluntly, the December meeting itself may not cause big waves, but it’s Powell’s words after the meeting that are the real signal for where the money will flow.

What should retail investors do? Two words: stay steady.

Don’t easily throw away the quality coins you hold; short-term ups and downs are just emotional swings. If there’s really an opportunity, it’s if there’s an irrational pullback after the meeting—that’s when you should accumulate in batches. The bull market isn’t over yet; don’t kick yourself out of the game.

Remember, keep some ammo, don’t go all-in. When the market gives you opportunities, you need to have money to take them.
