Recently, the Federal Reserve's stance has undergone a significant shift. Previously, the market widely expected a rate cut to be initiated in March, but the latest data has completely rewritten these expectations.



According to current data, there is a 90% probability that Fed Chair Powell will keep the current interest rate unchanged this month, while the previously widely discussed probability of a rate cut has shrunk to just 10%. Even if action is taken eventually, the magnitude is likely to be only a symbolic 25 basis point adjustment. This hard turn in policy stance has directly impacted the entire market's expectation framework.

What does this mean? The stock market, bond market, and mortgage market will all feel the pressure of this "hawkish" shift. For cryptocurrency investors, the trends of coins like BTC, ETH, PEPE, and others will also adjust accordingly. Investment strategies originally based on expectations of rate cuts need to be reevaluated—asset allocations, holding periods, and risk exposures may all need to be adjusted accordingly.

This policy reversal came suddenly, but the process of market re-pricing has just begun and is worth close observation.
BTC-0.15%
ETH-1.81%
PEPE-6.62%

Once again cut by Powell, I should have known not to trust market expectations. If he really turns hawkish, I need to replan my BTC position. There's a 90% chance I won't move, so that 10% hope should probably be dashed. Wait, could this actually be beneficial for stablecoin yields?

It's the same story again, the rate cut expectations are shattered. I already said Powell is stubborn. Honestly, it's too late to change strategies now. It's better to cut losses early. 90% chance of no movement? The crypto market will plunge again. Just observe honestly. When hawkish signals come, all assets need to be recalculated. Who would have thought? Here we go again? Last time it was the same, and then they cut again. Powell keeps changing his stance. Holding anxiety... feels like I need to reduce my holdings. It's just the beginning, there’s more to come. How BTC will move depends on subsequent data. It's too early to say anything now. Market re-pricing, no one can stay unaffected. Everything is being wiped out.

Here comes the chopping of leeks again, Brother Powell really knows how to stir things up. Really, the hope just lifted up and then was pushed back down. Alright, the biggest fear in the crypto world is policy reversals like this. No matter what, BTC is tied to the Federal Reserve. I'm still waiting for the bottom, but now I feel the bottom might not be here yet. That's why you can't go all in; you need to keep some bullets.

Haha, once again manipulated by Powell, my all-in plan has to be changed again. The dream of rate cuts is shattered, everyone. I need to hold my coins a bit longer. When the hawkish stance is announced, the crypto market instantly cools down... This is reality. 90% chance of no movement? I feel like it's just throwing a tantrum. This wave with BTC will test people's psychological resilience again, it's really tough. Friends who bought the dip earlier, I guess you're all kicking yourselves now. I need to recalculate my holding strategy; this time I might really have to wait. The hawkish wind is blowing, small investors will get cut again, just get used to it. Repricing? Probably just a re-loss, haha.

Powell's move this time is really impressive, directly countering with a 90% probability of no rate cut, the market was stunned. Once again, we've been cut again, the rate cut expectations are completely cooled off. BTC needs to find support again now; the hawkish tone has arrived, there's really nothing we can do. Wait, is it really just a 25 basis point adjustment? Feels like they're teasing us. This is the real "policy reversal" moment, gotta adjust the positions quickly. No way, I just allocated assets and now I have to move them again? I can't keep up with this pace. Hawkish is hawkish, but I still hold onto my BTC, long-term optimistic. Why does it feel like the market is always guessing Powell's thoughts? It's better to look at the data. Here we go again, saying it's dead before, but now it can't die, just waiting to repeatedly cut the grass.

Manipulation, Powell's move is too clever Alright, time to adjust positions again 90% no rate cut? Laughing out loud, the crypto circle is about to be harvested again I've said it before, don't blindly speculate on expectations The bears are celebrating wildly, the bulls are crying and calling for their moms That's why I only hold stablecoins When people's hearts are scattered, it's hard to lead the team, everyone

Here comes the pump and dump again, Powell really tricked me this time Damn, the rate cut dream is shattered, my BTC holdings are in trouble 90% no rate cut? What should I do with my positions, I should have never gone all-in This is the fate of Web3, following the Fed's lead Repricing? What pricing are you talking about, everything's fallen to the dogs The hawkish shift is so sudden, feels like I was ambushed, who knew about this in advance? Alright, time to rebalance again, this month's losses are killing me
