Will the Federal Reserve cut interest rates early? The probability rises to 42% in April, traders are betting this way
【Blockchain Rhythm】Latest news indicates a shift in traders’ expectations regarding Federal Reserve policies. On January 13th, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released data showing that the core consumer price index rose less than expected, sending an important signal to the market—that Federal Reserve Chair Powell may not wait until the end of his term in May to start cutting interest rates.
This signal is strong enough to prompt market participants to immediately adjust their bets. While June is still considered the most likely window for rate cuts, the latest market data suggests that the probability of a rate cut in April has risen to 42%, up from 38% before the data release.
For traders focused on macro trends, this shift cannot be ignored. Easing inflation pressures imply a potential turning point in monetary policy, which will directly impact the performance of risk assets and the market liquidity environment. Although the time gap between April and June is not long, each month can potentially rewrite expectations in market pricing and asset allocation.
Is Powell really going to accelerate this time? It feels like the entire market exploded as soon as the inflation data was released.
Wait, with just this probability of a rise, everyone is changing their bets? Or am I too inexperienced to understand?
If there is really a rate cut in April, what should we do in June? Logically, it doesn't quite add up.
When inflation eases, they have to loosen monetary policy. This routine probably won't happen again, right?
I still feel something's off. I'll watch a bit more before making any moves.
Powell might be about to loosen monetary policy earlier, which is good news for BTC.
Wait... are these data really reliable? It still depends on how things develop next.
Huh, it's the same old CPI story, always fooling the market like this.
Jumping from 38% to 42% in half a month, traders will have to recalculate again.
Just a 4-point increase and everyone is so excited—traders must be starving, haha.
As soon as inflation data loosens, the whole market is betting on rate cuts. Whoever wins this round will take off.
Wait, what was the probability for June again? Why does it feel like everyone is betting on April?
Honestly, if the crypto market follows the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, and then gets caught in another wave of liquidation, that would be ridiculous.
If rate cuts actually happen and liquidity surges, will Bitcoin directly break 100,000? Wake up, everyone.

Cut in April? That doesn't seem right, feels like the market is just hyping itself again.
---
Inflation data looks good, and everyone is betting on April. Can we trust this wave...
---
Wait, it was all about June before, how did it suddenly become 42%? So unpredictable.
---
Got it, it's the market speculating on expectations again, we still need to wait for the real confirmation.

Liquidity easing is coming, and that's an opportunity for us.
