#美联储重启降息步伐 $BTC Fed Infighting Intensifies: Can Powell Cut Rates as He Hopes?



Looking at the latest developments, this Fed meeting is definitely worth watching. Officials are split—half want to hit the brakes, half lean toward easing, and the internal debate is clearly getting louder. Powell’s stance is firm—he wants to push forward with rate cuts.

To put it bluntly, what the two sides are really arguing about isn’t the economic data itself, but their completely different outlooks for the future. The jobs report both exceeded expectations and showed the unemployment rate climbing, so both camps have arguments to make.

So why is Powell pushing ahead despite such pressure? What he truly fears isn’t so much a resurgence in inflation, but rather a sudden drop in economic growth. His strategy is clear: start with a 25 basis point cut, while signaling to the market that future moves will be more cautious. It’s a “sweetener + expectation management” combo.

What does this mean for crypto markets? Easier money inevitably flows to risk assets, and Bitcoin is always the first to benefit. But here’s the catch—if the Fed’s post-meeting statement is ambiguous, it could actually trigger a short-term pullback. The most crucial factor is never the policy itself, but the gap between market expectations and the policy.

Markets are indeed highly volatile right now. Once the rate-cutting cycle begins, the logic of asset allocation will be completely rewritten. In the crypto space, opportunities and risks always coexist—the real winners are those who can keep up with the pace.

Powell's series of moves, really both wanting and fearing criticism haha Interest rate cuts are a double-edged sword; whether BTC rises or falls depends entirely on what they say With such serious internal conflicts, there should be more room for maneuver later on I'm just afraid that in the end it will be another fake move, and we will have to keep holding on

Powell, this guy is really gambling. Only if interest rate cuts actually happen will there be a chance for our crypto circle.

Powell's move this time is basically a gamble on a soft landing for the economy. Let's see if a 25bp hike can move the market.

Powell really played this round brilliantly; now it just depends on whether the market buys into this expectations management.

Powell really dares to take risks, but I'm just worried it will end up being all talk and no action.

Powell is really gutsy, determined to push for rate cuts. It’s the difference from expectations that’s the real killer—a vague statement and Bitcoin dumps immediately. A 25 basis point cut isn’t enough; we still need to see what happens next. The fiercer the internal conflict, the wilder the price swings—that’s our opportunity. But if the statement is vague, I’ll reduce my position. I’m not that greedy.

Powell really dares to gamble. Once the rate-cut cycle starts, the crypto space will go wild. Rate cuts are like giving candy to Bitcoin, but if the statement is vague, we’ll just dive straight down. These guys at the Fed—one wants to hit the brakes, another wants to go full throttle. Who’s really in charge here? It’s the difference in expectations that’s the real game-changer. The policy itself isn’t that important; how the market interprets it is key. With such wild market swings this round, whoever nails the timing wins—everything else is just nonsense. Be cautious and protect your capital, or go all in and wait for the rate-cut windfall if you’re bold. That’s just how crypto is.
