Fed Governor Christopher Waller is signaling openness to further rate cuts aimed at bringing the central bank's policy rate back to neutral territory. However, here's the key takeaway—policymakers aren't in a rush. Waller's comments suggest a more measured approach: don't expect aggressive moves, but the door remains open for cuts if economic conditions warrant them. This matters for the broader market because interest rate policy shapes capital flows, risk appetite, and ultimately how investors allocate across different asset classes. For crypto traders, this kind of policy clarity can be a game-changer—knowing the Fed's tempo helps you anticipate liquidity shifts and positioning moves.

It's that same phrase of "open but not in a hurry" again, sounding just like teasing anticipation.

Slowly cutting the meat with a slow knife, the Fed is playing this trick really well.

Steady interest rate cuts? That's just institutions setting a trap for retail investors. It sounds neutral and polite, but in reality, it still depends on CPI figures.

Cutting interest rates slowly? What should I do with my short position?

Slowly cutting meat with a dull knife, I've seen the Fed use this tactic too many times.

The Fed keeps dragging its feet, which is the same as not saying anything. If they really cut interest rates, it will have to wait until the flowers wither.

It's the same "gentle rate cut" rhetoric again; just listen and forget about it. The Fed will never reveal its cards in advance.

The Fed is starting to hint again, and a measured approach just means dragging it out. Anyway, the crypto market is already used to being kept in suspense.
