The Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate cut this time caused Bitcoin to drop in response—quite surprising, isn't it?

Actually, this move is well-known in the market—the moment expectations are fulfilled often signals a reversal. Traders had already priced in the rate cut weeks ago, so when the actual decision was announced, it became a sign for profit-taking. Data doesn't lie: immediately after the announcement, BTC plummeted from around $94,500 to $92,000.

What really caught people off guard was Powell's attitude. The dot plot indicates that only one rate hike might occur next year, which is like pouring cold water on the market. Everyone had been dreaming of "unlimited easing," only to find that the central bank doesn't plan to loosen significantly. The price decline isn't just about the "actual rate cut" that has happened, but the "breakdown of future expectations."

This pattern has repeated itself this year—crazy rally before the news, sharp decline afterward. So don’t just focus on headlines; understanding the signals behind policies is more important. Short-term market volatility is normal; finding reliable long-term projects and steadily investing is the right approach.
