Powell's move really shows his skills – he managed to pry three rate cuts from the hawkish members of the FOMC. This guy knows how to weigh things; he can't let inflation continue to wreak havoc while also needing to open up liquidity a bit. The result was that the market was initially taken aback, but once it reacted, it realized that the expectation of rate cuts is actually a turning point for risk assets. This round of adjustments in the federal funds rate reflects a subtle shift in monetary policy from tightening to easing – which is quite interesting for encryption asset allocation strategies.

Powell's move is really brilliant, with three consecutive rate cuts. This rally is going to be hot!

Powell forcefully cut interest rates three times from the hawkish camp, which was truly brilliant. I was still bottom-fishing near the liquidation price last year, so I guess I caught the right timing haha. Once liquidity loosened, it was indeed a carnival for risk assets. Those previous losses with negative alpha finally proved somewhat useful.

Powell's moves are indeed ruthless, managing to wring three rate cuts from the hawks. I have to give him five points for that. But to be honest, the market is a step behind; it's only now realizing that rate cuts signal risk assets. Waiting to see how encryption goes To da moon.

Powell really plays political games like a pro, but can lowering interest rates really save the market? I doubt it. --- Wait, is liquidity really easing? Why does it still feel like the funding situation isn't that loose? --- Three interest rate cuts sound impressive, but we need to look at the subsequent actions, don't just listen to the rhetoric. --- Is encryption about to rise? Or is this just an old trick to lure me into the market? I'm getting a bit confused. --- It sounds nice in theory, but it's really just a compromise, with inflation pressures still so high. --- The expectations for interest rate cuts are heating up, but the ones really benefiting aren't the institutions, it's the retail investors who are going to get played.

Powell forcefully pried out three rate cuts, this tactic is impressive, I am optimistic about the subsequent liquidity easing scheme.

Powell's trap is incredible, directly forcing 3 interest rate cuts from the hawkish side, I'm truly impressed.
