Recent US employment data underperformed expectations, and major bank analysis teams have sensed signals of an economic slowdown. What does this mean? The Federal Reserve is very likely to start an interest rate cut cycle early next year to "buy insurance" for the economy.

For cryptocurrency holders, this is an important piece of information. After the interest rate cut cycle begins, liquidity will gradually be released, the cost of funds in the market will decrease, and additional capital will seek investment outlets. Historical experience shows that periods of loose liquidity are often the golden times for the crypto market to accumulate momentum. Risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are more likely to attract funding attention.

So how should retail investors respond now?

Keep core holdings stable. For leading assets like Bitcoin, short-term fluctuations should not cause panic, and there’s no need to cut losses due to daily volatility.

Gradual position building is an option. If the market pulls back due to policy expectations, it could be an opportunity to gradually buy in at lower levels, rather than going all-in at once.

Most importantly, stick to discipline. Avoid chasing highs or selling lows. Patience is key—wait for clearer signals from the Federal Reserve and observe the market rhythm calmly. Prepare before the storm, so when the trend becomes clear, you can react faster. Ultimately, the market will reward those who are well-prepared.
