#美联储回购协议计划 The Fed is caught in a classic policy dilemma—maximizing employment and stabilizing prices cannot be achieved simultaneously, a situation reminiscent of the stagflation era of the 1970s. Internal opinions are divided, and it is expected that this split will continue until 2026.
In 2025, Trump's policy adjustments put the Fed in a somewhat passive position. On one hand, it needs to maintain its independence, while on the other hand, it faces political pressure, which directly exacerbates the conflict between inflation and employment. The decision to lower interest rates three times at the beginning of the year was controversial in itself, and the government shutdown led to unclear economic data, making decision-making even more difficult.
As we enter 2026, the situation may become more complicated. The new chairman's assumption of office, the ongoing data gap, and the potential only opportunity for a rate cut... These factors combined make it even more difficult for the Fed to reach a consensus internally.
From the perspective of $BTC and $ETH, whether the liquidity after the year-end Christmas market can continue has become a question. Against the backdrop of so much uncertainty in central bank policies, market liquidity itself is prone to tightening, which is not very friendly to the short-term trends of crypto assets. Waiting and observing may be a more rational choice at the moment.

Stagflation reappearing? The Fed is really in a dilemma this time, wanting both fish and bear paw but unable to keep either.
After all this talk, to put it simply, liquidity is unreliable; BTC and ETH will continue to fluctuate in the short term.
Internal strife within the Fed makes this game increasingly difficult to play... The key is whether the new chairman in 2026 can find a balance. It feels uncertain.
The precarious balance between political pressure and independence is nothing new; it all depends on how the market reacts.
Rather than speculating on the Fed's next move, it's better to watch the changes... When liquidity is tight, taking too big of actions can lead to being trapped.

It has been said long ago that the Fed's move is very passive. The real test will be in 2026, and those still struggling with interest rate cuts haven't grasped the main point.
When liquidity tightens, it is precisely the opportunity to position oneself; while others are watching, we have already reached the high point. This pullback in BTC is a gift for the clever ones.

The Fed is in internal conflict, and the crypto world is going to suffer.

Is stagflation coming? The Fed's play here is indeed a bit poor, BTC is probably going to shrink.

Stagflation is here, the Fed is really caught in a bind.
Once again, there is political interference, economic data is a mess, and it's uncertain how long the Christmas market can hold on.
Let's wait and see, the tightening of liquidity is a fatal flaw.
