Recently, the market has been quite active, and every move by the Fed has stirred the nerves of the encryption community. To truly understand the direction of the upcoming market trends, it is essential to clarify the logic behind this.
First, let's get an intuitive understanding of the data: a single-day injection of 6.8 billion US dollars in liquidity, accumulating to 38 billion US dollars over ten days. This scale is not trivial; the core mechanism behind it is the treasury bond repurchase— the Fed actively enters the market to purchase treasury bonds, injecting funds directly into the financial system. In simple terms, when the market lacks money, "the central bank" provides real cash.
There is a detail that is particularly worth paying attention to: the current repurchase limit is approaching the cap of 40 billion USD. Whether the Fed will continue to expand or start tightening next directly determines the funding environment of the encryption market.
The core judgment has arrived. In the short term, ample liquidity means that more hot money will flow into high-volatility assets, thus supporting the encryption market, which is the main reason why the recent market can remain stable. However, from a long-term perspective, risks are brewing. The market is increasingly reliant on this "market rescue" operation, much like the human body’s dependence on painkillers—once the policy changes, the market's ability to withstand pressure will drop sharply.
For mainstream assets like ETH, we are currently in a policy dividend window, but when this window will close depends on the Fed's next move. Liquidity is a double-edged sword; when abundant, it pushes up asset prices, but when tightened, it can easily trigger adjustments. It is recommended to pay attention to the Fed meetings and repurchase plan updates, as these signals can predict market direction better than any technical indicators.

Absolutely, as long as the central bank is still easing, we should seize the opportunity.
The scale of 38 billion is no joke; in the short term, we still need to get on board.
But speaking of the long term... relying on policy to rescue the market will eventually lead to debt repayment.
The next step to pin down the Federal Reserve is the key.
This liquidity knife, cutting both hands, brother.

Once the central bank hands out real money, hot money starts to stir. It's hard to say how long this wave of liquidity bonus can last.
However, the metaphor of relying on painkillers is spot on; if the market continues like this, it will eventually face withdrawal symptoms.

38 billion USD get dumped, this wave will indeed take some time to digest, but don't be blinded by liquidity, once the central bank pulls back, we should run.

ngl this is literally the 2019 repo crisis playbook happening again... except now we're pretending it's different because crypto. statistically speaking, every time the fed starts flooding the market like this, we get exactly 6-8 months of euphoria before the rug pull. history doesn't repeat but it sure does rhyme, and this particular tune is getting old
