- Current situation: CPI has eased but stickiness remains, employment exceeds expectations, and the Federal Reserve is thoroughly divided (cutting rates / pausing / raising rates three factions).
- Market pricing: Probability of rate cuts in March is about 10%, barely over half by June; short-term rate cuts are unlikely. - Crypto market logic: - High interest rates + tightening liquidity expectations → bearish pressure on high-volatility assets. - But funds haven't moved out, just observing: waiting for signals of a "true data collapse" or a clear turning point like "rate cut confirmation." - Now is the "expectation game" period: neither a sharp crash nor a big rally, but repeated oscillations and shakeouts.
📈 How will this wave go: drop sharply then rebound, or just push up directly?
Conclusion: drop sharply first, then rebound; it won't push up directly.
1. Why it won't push up directly
- The Federal Reserve hasn't signaled clear easing; the minutes even mention "not ruling out rate hikes," which dampens bullish sentiment. - The crypto market currently lacks incremental funds; in a stock of existing funds game, attempts to push prices up are easily crushed and hard to sustain. - BTC/ETH/SOL are all below key resistance levels (BTC≈67,000, ETH≈2,020, SOL≈85); without breaking through, upward movement is limited. - Your idea of a "pace reversal": no real data collapse, and the rationale for liquidity injection is invalid; pushing up would just be a trap for late buyers.
2. Why it will drop through
- Technical: Major coins are in a downtrend/oscillation at the lower end, with weak rebounds and easy to break support. - Liquidity: Under high interest rates, risk appetite declines, and funds prefer waiting for lower prices. - Sentiment: After the minutes, panic and caution dominate; major players may use the opportunity to dump and shake out weak hands to get cheap chips. - Target range (most probable): $BTC #Gate广场发帖领五万美金红包 #何时是最佳入场时机 - BTC: 65,000–66,000 - ETH: 1,900–1,950 - SOL: 78–80
3. How to rebound after breaking through
- After hitting bottom, all negative factors are exhausted, and funds start rushing to price in "future rate cuts." - If employment/inflation weaken later, rate cut expectations will reignite, leading to a sustained rebound. - The rebound is not a reversal: first watch resistance levels (BTC≈67,000, ETH≈2,000, SOL≈83); only breakouts above these levels indicate further gains.
