#美联储重启降息步伐 ⚡ Market Shift: Earthquake Combined with Fed Policy, Crypto Assets at a Turning Point
In the past 48 hours, two major events in global financial markets have directly impacted the crypto market:
**Event 1: 7.6-Magnitude Earthquake in Japan Triggers Chain Reaction**
The strong quake led to an immediate drop in the yen. The deeper issue is that the Bank of Japan's planned rate hikes are now almost certain to be delayed, altering global capital's safe-haven flows. Funds that would have gone to the yen are now seeking new destinations—Bitcoin, as a non-sovereign asset, often becomes the first choice for such reallocations.
**Event 2: Fed Rate Cut Priced In at 87%**
Powell's speech tonight is crucial. The market has already priced in the possibility of a rate cut, but every line of policy guidance could trigger volatility. Especially if there are hints of a "one-off cut" rather than a sustained cycle, risk assets will immediately adjust expectations.
**Opportunities and Risks Amid Dual Uncertainty**
Historically, macro policy vacuums are often accompanied by high volatility. BTC tends to show unique liquidity resilience in such environments—not fully following risk asset sell-offs, while also benefiting from global liquidity easing.
It all boils down to this: After the Fed's announcement at 3 AM tonight, will the market adjust after digesting the already known positives, or will it rise again based on new policy expectations?

Earthquake + rate cut double impact, unsure about this wave of volatility... What Powell says is the key

Double positive signals stacking up, this wave is truly different. Japan has eased up, and the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates again. Where are the funds fleeing to? It must be the crypto world.

the real question isn't whether powell speaks, it's whether the market already priced in his words... that's when things get messy tbh

With both earthquake and rate cut expectations, this wave is indeed prone to sharp spikes and drops. It's better to wait for Powell to speak before making a move.

Earthquake plus interest rate cut—a double blow. Gotta set those stop-losses carefully this time.

Is it too late? Will the earthquake-driven risk-averse funds dump their holdings?

Earthquake plus rate cuts, this is indeed an unexpected variable. Let's see what Powell has to say.
