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.

It's the same old story: buy on expectations, sell on reality. The same old trick, playing it this way every time.

nah this is textbook sell-the-news pattern... analyzed the flow, red flags all over. powell's dot matrix literally gutted the "unlimited printer" narrative overnight. future expectations collapsed, not the actual cut. seen this attack vector play out since march, gotta dig deeper than headline noise fr

It's the same old trick again: when positive news is fully priced in, it turns into negative news. The retail investors are still buying at high prices.

It's another case of dumping right after expectations are met. I'm tired of this routine haha

Here we go again with this routine, once the news is confirmed, they dump the price. I saw through it early.

Same old trick again, the interest rate cut news is leaked in advance, and when it's time to cash out, the market crashes immediately. I'm tired of this game.

The moment the shoe drops, it's a dump. We're already tired of this trick.

Here we go again. As soon as the interest rate cut positive news comes out, everyone rushes in, but as soon as the news hits, it plunges directly. It's hilarious.
