The Federal Reserve meeting minutes for December 31st are out. What further shifts is the market still expecting? Don't wait any longer; this is more about confirming the existing policy stance.

There are essentially three key issues to watch: First, whether the wording will start to seriously discuss the possibility of a rate cut; second, the attitude towards inflation easing—whether to acknowledge it or keep some powder dry; third, whether there are mentions of overly loose financial conditions or risks in asset prices.

Looking at the crypto market, the likely reactions of BTC and ETH are as follows:

**If the wording remains unchanged** — BTC will continue to fluctuate within its range, with ETH following suit. The news will only amplify short-term volatility without indicating a trend reversal.

**If hawkish language is used** — BTC may be pushed back to key support levels, and ETH could experience larger swings with weaker rebound strength.

**If dovish language is used** — BTC might first recover market sentiment, and ETH could rebound faster and more strongly, but fundamentally, it's still a bounce-back, so don't be fooled.

Ultimately, it depends on the wording; data is just a reference.

BTC1,14%

ETH1,2%

Here we go again, really thinking we don't know that the minutes are always lagging behind. No matter how closely we look, it's useless. Speaking of the rate cut window, as long as the hawkish stance doesn't die, we have to keep buying the dip in coins. Let me guess, it's probably ETH holding things back again. Let's just wait to be caught in the "rebound nature" trap, same old routine. The dovish side says dovish, BTC still needs to fall if it’s going to fall, don’t be fooled by the rebound into being stunned. No change in wording = keep lying flat, this time I’ll watch from the sidelines.

Waiting for the Federal Reserve's savior to arrive again, right? Wake up, this time it's probably just a confirmation. Honestly, it all depends on how they phrase it. Don't be fooled by the data. Doves are here, ETH is about to take off? Uh, just a rebound, buddy. Don't deceive yourself. BTC is waiting at a critical level for a drop. This time, the minutes probably won't escape. The wording is all over the place, and the market is still in a daze of oscillation. Forget it, let's wait for an actual rate cut. The minutes are just a display.

Once again "confirming the existing stance," it sounds so boring, as expected This meeting summary is probably the usual, but whether the wording has loosened up depends on a closer look. If the hawks come out again, BTC might get hammered Waiting to see if the rebound will really be quick, but it feels easy to be manipulated

Basically, it's just waiting for the wording. The data has long been written on paper. Still making empty promises. I think no matter how bullish, it can't be more bullish than before. A quick rebound in ETH is just a trap. Don't chase highs and suffer heavy losses. It's good if BTC can hold its ground. Don't overthink it. Testing the market bottom line requires stepping on all three points before it counts. If this minutes really change their stance, I'll eat my keyboard live. I don't believe it at all.
