#美联储降息 $ETH The Federal Reserve's multiple-choice questions, each one stirring the market

A recent in-depth analysis of the Federal Reserve's policy outlook has gone viral. After reading it, I realized: this is not just a routine interpretation of economic data; it's a "stress test" for all asset allocations.

The three paths before the Federal Reserve are none easy. Waiting for inflation to continue to fall? Such waiting itself is eroding trust. Hoping that the labor market will self-correct? That implies a certain level of unemployment data. The most aggressive option? Directly adjusting the decision-making voices at the top. These choices are being openly contested. When the independence of the central authority begins to be questioned, how much confidence do you still have in the stability of the traditional financial system?

On the surface, it's a question of "when to cut interest rates," but beneath it, it's actually the legitimacy of the old financial order being eroded. Fiat currency, bonds, stocks—these "safe assets" of yesterday, are today’s credit foundations, now loosening. The hesitation of central banks itself sends a signal to the market: the consensus within the system is no longer ironclad.

The historical pattern is clear: whenever sovereign credit shows cracks, capital begins to seek new safe havens. This time is no different. Decentralized assets, cryptocurrencies—things once ridiculed as "bubbles"—are becoming the "new outlet" in an era of power vacuum.

Don't be fooled by the simple logic of "interest rate cuts are good." What is truly happening is: once the barriers of the old system rust, new asset allocation logic will naturally emerge. Volatility is not risk; it's re-pricing. The panic you see is actually the market searching for direction.

The signals are already very clear. The key is how you plan to respond.
