#比特币流动性 The Fed's recent moves are indeed interesting. Last night, they announced a 25 basis point rate cut, which at first glance seemed very dovish. However, when the dot plot was released—showing only one more rate cut before 2026—the market's immediate reaction was: "Isn't this hawkish?" U.S. Treasury yields responded by climbing to 4.2%, directly contradicting the rate cut expectations.



Trump's criticisms came quickly as well. He issued multiple accusations: the Federal Reserve building renovation project is over budget by $2.5 billion, interest rates are high, economic growth is hindered, and if they don't cut rates significantly soon, they might have to replace the leadership. Powell is really in a tough spot: with only five months left in his term, he has to choose between political pressure and monetary policy independence.

The logic here is clear. Once the independence of the Fed is compromised, market expectations for inflation will become mispriced. Investors will demand higher risk premiums to hedge against political uncertainty. The result could be continued rises in long-term bond yields, with 4.5% not being a hard ceiling.

From an asset allocation perspective, both bonds and equities face pressure in this environment. The high-yield risk premium indicates that growth stocks and highly leveraged assets are under stress, and cryptocurrencies, as risk assets, are also unlikely to remain unaffected. The assets most resilient tend to be those with solid fundamentals and ample cash flow—whether in traditional markets or on-chain.

When Powell steps down in May 2026, it will be a watershed moment. By then, the new Fed chair's policy stance and market expectations for interest rates could shift significantly, potentially triggering large volatility. Currently, the strategy is more about seeking relatively certain opportunities amid this macro uncertainty. Which assets have you been watching that perform better and are more resilient during this round of adjustment?

Hawkish rate cuts, this move is really impressive haha --- Powell is really having a hard time, caught between Trump from both sides --- Instead of waiting to see policy changes, it's better to jump into projects with stable cash flow --- The treasury yield directly breaks 4.2, is this a big bleed for equity assets? --- Wait, if the dot plot is so hawkish, can BTC really stay unaffected... Why do I find it hard to believe? --- Basically, it's a political gamble. Whoever guesses right on how the new president in 2026 will play will profit --- Is 4.5% not the ceiling? Then 5% is not far... High-yield bonds are digging a trap --- Is on-chain asset resilience really better than traditional markets? I always feel it's more fragile --- The independence of the Federal Reserve is really just a show, market risk premiums are going to explode --- Now it's hard to find a solid fundamental target, everything is falling

Hawkish rate cuts are truly a win; I laughed as soon as the dot plot was released. --- Powell really feels caught in the middle—political pressure vs. independence. If he chooses poorly, he’ll be replaced. --- If the Federal Reserve’s independence truly wavers, market risk premiums will definitely soar. That’s the real big problem. --- Currently, 4.2% isn’t even that significant; 4.5% is definitely coming, and the long-term government bond yields are on an upward trajectory. --- High-leverage assets are indeed tough this round; growth stocks and the crypto space are both taking hits. Strong fundamentals are truly resilient. --- The variable in May 2026 is too big; a shift in the new chairman’s policies could cause major fluctuations in minutes. --- Instead of wild predictions, it’s better to look for assets with solid cash flow; there are quite a few on-chain that are reliable. --- Trump’s words, huh? Using $2.5 billion renovation costs to directly counter, Powell’s situation is a bit tough. --- It feels like now is about finding opportunities within uncertainty—those who can withstand the downturn are the real winners.

Hawkish rate cuts, this trick is played smoothly, the market is being played to the point of being uncontrollable Honestly, Powell has had a tough five months, neither side is a person Is 4.5% really the ceiling? I don't think so Bitcoin's performance at this time still depends on the overall environment, risk assets are all taking a hit

Hawks and doves are playing tricks again. Seeing through it without exposing it is the way to go. --- Powell has truly been sitting on a bomb for the past 5 months, while Trump is frantically stepping on the accelerator behind the scenes. --- If the Federal Reserve's independence really collapses, the risk premium will skyrocket, and long-term bonds at 4.5% will definitely break. --- The craziest thing now is that safe-haven assets are gone, even government bonds are no longer attractive. What do you think should be done? --- Waiting until 2026 for a leadership change is the real big show. Right now, all assets are betting on whether the next chair will be hawkish or dovish. --- In a high-yield environment, cash is king, which may sound old-fashioned, but it's really the case. --- Projects with solid on-chain fundamentals are thriving, while those purely driven by hype should have died long ago. --- Investors are now seeking certainty amid political uncertainty. Quite ironic, isn't it?

The dot matrix chart is the real truth; the expectation of interest rate cuts has been shattered. The market's reaction this time is quick, but the real indicator is the flow of funds — it depends on how large on-chain investors act, not just following public opinion trends.
