A 25 basis point rate cut? Sounds great, but in reality, it could be a trap.



Right now, the market is celebrating, and bullish voices are everywhere. But have you considered that if Hassett really takes that position, his hawkish style could turn the market around instantly? In the short term, crypto prices might jump on policy news, but what happens over a longer period? It could end up being a slow-cooking frog scenario.

The most dangerous thing is actually a cognitive mismatch—you think spring has arrived, but others have already started preparing for winter. While retail investors are celebrating, the big players might be quietly building short positions; you’re dreaming of financial freedom, but institutions have their eyes on the chips in your pocket.

So how should you play this? Don’t rush in—maintain your own pace first. For Bitcoin, keep an eye on the 60-day moving average as your lifeline: if it breaks below, admit defeat and exit; if it holds, then consider adding more. Opportunities will always exist, but your principal might not.

There’s a saying: when everyone thinks it’s a sure win, that’s exactly when it’s most dangerous. In the crypto world, there’s no such thing as easy money; being a bit more clear-headed than others means you’re already halfway to winning. Stay calm, and you’ll last longer.

Hassett's approach is really strong. Don't be fooled by short-term rebounds.

The slow-cooked frog metaphor is spot on. Retail investors are still dreaming of getting rich while the big players have already left.

The metaphor of "slow-cooking a frog" is spot on. Anyone still daring to go all in really needs to take a hard look at their own capabilities.

Haha, it's the same old line again. Every time they say it's a trap, but it still goes up anyway.

Everyone says a rate cut is bullish, but in my opinion, this might just be a trap set by the big players for retail investors. If it falls below the 60-day moving average, I'm out—protecting my principal is the most important thing.

At it again? Wait, is the 60-day moving average really that effective? I feel like after getting burned so many times, I don’t even have a bottom line anymore, haha.

Another "rate cut bullish" trick—I knew retail investors would get fleeced again.

Here comes another "I've seen through it" argument. Now the whole screen is filled with this kind of talk.

Here we go again? Do you really think Hassett coming to power can turn things around? Retail investors are still foolishly celebrating while the big players have already cashed out.
