The good news you think you have has already been fully priced in by the market.
A 25 basis point rate cut? The moment the news was released, the price had already reacted. Ending quantitative tightening on December 1? Smart money positioned ahead last week. The real question keeping people up at night is: Will there be another rate cut in December? And if there is, will the market buy it?
Remember what happened after the rate cut in September? Everyone was shouting that the bull market had arrived, but on the day the news landed, the market immediately tanked, punishing those who went all in. The market never repeats the same playbook exactly, but that “pump and dump” pattern always comes back in a different disguise.
Just look at the current BTC and ETH trends. They surged hard for two days, squeezing out all bullish sentiment, then started to test lower levels. The candlesticks aren’t signaling a reversal—they’re the start of a choppy shakeout. Longs and shorts are rotating, retail traders are hesitating, and the big players are waiting for the data.
There’s a golden rule in crypto: profit on expectations, exit on reality.
Now expectations are sky-high, and the data is about to be released— If it falls short? That’s the starting point of a plunge. If it exceeds expectations? Those who are ready won’t hesitate to push hard.
From tonight on, it’s like walking a tightrope: Cautious traders watch with light positions, aggressive ones position themselves in advance, But the most dangerous are those who have no plan and just want to gamble.
There’s a saying: You don’t make money by understanding the market, you make money by being in the right position.

Expectations have already been fully priced in; now it's just a matter of whether things will go wrong at the moment the data is released. The lesson from September is still fresh in our minds, and the pace of this rally feels a bit familiar... The candlestick chart is telling a story, the main players are shaking out the market, and retail investors are gambling. Timing an ambush sounds exciting, but jumping in without a plan is just giving away money. Let's wait and see—having the right position is more valuable than understanding the market trend.

Here we go again? Last time in September you talked tough too, but ended up getting caught off guard when the price crashed. Now you're encouraging people to jump in again, do you really think we have no memory?

Damn, this trick again? I already got dumped on once in September, and now it looks like it's happening again? I don't believe this is really the bottom.

The expectations are fully understood, but the reality hasn't materialized yet—this is the most frustrating part right now.

Here we go again? Every time you say it's a trap, but those following the crowd still rush in as usual.
