The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points this time, but Bitcoin responded with a decline. Is it quite surprising?

Actually, the market has seen this move many times—when expectations are fulfilled, it often signals a reversal. Traders had already priced in the rate cut weeks ago; when the actual move happened, it became a sign for profit-taking. Data doesn’t lie: immediately after the announcement, BTC dropped from around $94,500 to $92,000.

What’s truly surprising is Powell’s attitude. The dot plot indicates only one rate cut next year, which is like pouring cold water on the market. People had hoped for "unlimited easing," but it turns out the central bank doesn’t plan to loosen much. The price decline isn’t just about the “rate cut that has already happened,” but the “disillusionment of future expectations.”

This kind of scenario has played out repeatedly this year—skyrocketing before the news, crashing afterward. So don’t just focus on headlines; understanding the signals behind policies is more important. Short-term market fluctuations are normal; finding reliable long-term projects and steadily deploying is the right path.
