When I was watching the market last night and heard that remark from Powell, I really couldn't hold it together.
"QT is officially over." Those five words instantly changed the entire logic of the market.
This isn't just a patch-up job—it's flipping the table and starting over. The liquidity valve has been completely opened.
There were three heavy policy moves:
First, the money-printing mode is back. $95 billion in liquidity per month is going to flow back into the market, and the era of QT tightening is officially over.
Second, a rate cut is a done deal. The probability of a December rate cut has soared to 87%, and this pace will continue in 2025.
Third, the stance is tough enough. Powell made it clear—the Fed will only look at the data, ignoring political winds. That statement carries a lot of weight.
The market has already started moving:
Funding rates quickly went from negative to zero, and the bears are starting to panic. Veteran on-chain players are frantically swapping borrowed USDT for BTC and ETH. The ETF side is even crazier—there was a net outflow of $80 million in the morning session, but it completely reversed in the afternoon, turning into a net inflow of $160 million.
The Fear & Greed Index is still stuck at 20, but the signs of a turning point are already obvious.
Looking back, that wave of panic selling this morning might have been the last cheap entry opportunity of the year. Liquidity is back, policy expectations are clear, and market sentiment is recovering.
With several signals stacking up, things feel very different now.
When you start to hear the sound of the money printer, don't ask whether you should get on board—first check if you still have chips in your hand.

Damn, that reversal last night made me sick—bears are really done for this time.
Those who bought the dip this morning must be laughing now; as soon as liquidity comes in, this market comes alive.
If you don’t have cash on hand, don’t get jealous. Once the money printer starts, it doesn’t care how much you’re worth.
This pace feels just like the end of 2020—brothers, it’s time to get on board.
After dropping for so long, we finally see a policy shift. To the bros swapping USDT for coins, I salute you for being real men.
Shorts got blown up—now the bears should get out of here.
Not having any chips is really tough. It should be fine to jump in once liquidity stabilizes, right?
That $160 million ETF entry—that’s the real signal of hard cash coming in.

Can't hold it anymore, the shorts are really about to get liquidated this time. Looking back, that dip this morning was actually the last buying opportunity. Once the money printer starts, there won’t be any cheap coins left.

Once the supply line is open, the rhythm of the battlefield changes. The key is to survive until that day.
