A major signal is coming from the market: According to data from prediction platform Polymarket, the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates by 25 basis points in December has surged to 94%, with related trading volume reaching $260 million. This is almost a sure thing.



What does this mean for the crypto market? Simply put, rate cuts mean loosening up the market. When liquidity becomes more abundant, capital naturally seeks high-return assets. Mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum often become the primary pools for this inflow of funds. Historically, every time a rate-cutting cycle begins, market sentiment usually gets a boost, and we often see Bitcoin lead sector rotations.

But let’s stay calm and think about two real issues:

First, expectations have long been priced in. Jumping in now might mean buying at a short-term high. When the good news actually lands, it could trigger profit-taking and lead to even more intense short-term volatility.

Second, if you really believe in this cycle, holding spot positions steadily is more important than anything else. Don’t get scared off by intraday swings, and don’t try to gamble on direction with leverage—crypto’s sudden wicks can wipe you out right before the dawn. The mid-to-long-term logic hasn’t changed: hold on to your chips and wait for the trend to truly unfold.

The news is explosive, but you need to operate with a cool head. Keep your eye on the official decision, manage your positions carefully, and don’t let your emotions throw off your rhythm.

The 94% probability has basically already been priced in. Jumping in now is just playing the role of a bag holder.

LOL, a 94% probability, let's just bet as if it's 100%, after all, that's the fate of us retail investors. I’d call this move the classic trick of “price in the expectations, crash on the good news”—it’s old news now. Hold onto your spot positions, don’t count on leverage to save you. There’s no mercy for stop-hunting in crypto; falling before dawn is nothing special. Still hoping for natural capital inflows? Buddy, when the money flows in, that’s exactly when new retail investors are getting trapped. No matter how explosive the news is, the key is how much of a pullback you can actually withstand—that’s the real skill.

A 94% probability sounds pretty scary, but everyone who got in is just waiting to take profits—such is the fate of the bag holder.

With a 94% probability, I'm actually a bit skeptical. Things that seem too certain often reverse the hardest. Hold your spot positions and don't think about making quick profits in the short term—flash crashes can wipe you out in seconds. Looser liquidity is a good thing, but don’t get greedy chasing the highs; that might just put you in the bagholder’s spot. Wait for the official decision to be announced; right now, it’s all just speculation. If you’re truly bullish, just hold on tight. Don’t get shaken out by intraday volatility—that’s the real way.

94% means making up your mind, pouring liquidity in, and Bitcoin will definitely be well fed. All the expectations have been priced in, getting in now means you're just the bag holder. Hold your spot positions firmly, don’t get scared by the daily candles. Feels like this round is indeed a trap, the good news is actually followed by a dump. No problem for mid- to long-term, don’t overthink in the short term, managing your position size is more important than anything else.

With a 94% probability, it feels like the market has already priced this in. When it actually happens, there’s no telling if the market might dump instead.
