Is next week’s Fed rate cut a done deal? How will the crypto market react this time? Let’s break it down.
According to the latest reports, Fed officials have confirmed a restart of rate cuts next week. Another round of liquidity release is on the way.
What does history tell us? Every time central banks flood the market with liquidity, the money has to go somewhere. Crypto assets, with their high volatility, often become a prime destination for hot money. We all remember how BTC took off from the lows during the last rate-cut cycle. This time, can ETH break out of its sideways range? Will altcoins finally see a long-awaited broad rally?
Don’t pop the champagne just yet.
Yes, liquidity is coming, but market sentiment isn’t that simple. ISM Manufacturing Chair Susan Spence recently spoke some hard truth: “Companies are still facing the cloud of tariffs overhead, so investment decisions will be more cautious.” The boost from rate cuts may be delayed, or even offset by trade uncertainty.
That’s the awkward part. On one side, central banks are injecting liquidity, giving the market a clear dividend; on the other, trade tensions still linger and real-economy confidence is lacking. Will funds actually flow into crypto? Or will they just make a brief pit stop before pulling back again? Is this round the starting gun for a bull market, or just another liquidity trap?
Honestly, nobody can guarantee anything right now.
There are basically three camps in the market: The aggressive camp is already all-in, waiting to take off 🚀 The cautious camp is still on the sidelines, waiting for a clearer signal 👀 The moderates think the effect of rate cuts will take time to play out, and that in the short term, it might just be a blip 📈
Which camp are you in? Or do you have your own unique perspective? With this rate cut card being played, will crypto prices react immediately, or will it take a longer cycle to digest? Feel free to share your judgment and portfolio strategy.

So what if there's a rate cut? The tariff issue still hasn't been settled. I think this round might end in disappointment.

Rate cuts are here but tariffs are still a choke point—can we really soar this time?

Rate cuts are here, but tariffs are still looming overhead. This round is really hard to bet on.

Rate cuts have arrived, but the tariff issue is still frustrating. It feels like liquidity is going to be diverted.

Once the cloud of tariffs appears, no amount of liquidity will help; this rate cut is likely to fall through again.

These tariff clouds are really annoying; no matter how much liquidity there is, it's all for nothing.
