The Federal Reserve rate cut has finally arrived.

At 3 a.m. Beijing time, the Fed announced a 25 basis point cut, lowering the upper limit of interest rates from 4.00% to 3.75%. This was largely expected, but the market still needed to react—after all, liquidity is the lifeblood for assets like cryptocurrencies and gold.

What does a rate cut mean? Money becomes cheaper, risk appetite increases. Large whales that have already been accumulating on-chain are now waiting for this wave of favorable conditions. One address recently added to over $300 million, holding 101,000 ETH. Such large-scale activity either indicates madness or that they’ve seen something significant.

But don’t rush in just yet.

The real key is half an hour later—at 3:30, Powell’s press conference will be the main event. How does he describe inflation? What’s his outlook on the economy? Will there be more cuts? These comments will influence the market more than the rate cut decision itself.

In simple terms, the rate cut is just the appetizer; Powell’s wording will determine whether this is a feast or just a bowl of instant noodles.

If he continues to be dovish and hints at more easing in the future, assets like BTC and ETH could soar directly. But if his words are tinged with caution, emphasizing persistent inflation pressures and the need to observe further developments, this rally might be fleeting.

The market is currently at this critical juncture.

Whales have already placed their bets, retail investors are still on the sidelines. In the next few hours, it’s either follow the trend and profit, or watch the opportunity slip away.

Don’t fall behind.
