#美联储重启降息步伐 The central bank rate cut cycle has officially begun, and $ETH has surged back to 3300. However, in this rally, the risk of "consensus piling" is worth being cautious about—the crazier it gets, the closer we are to the peak of bullish news.



In the coming week, several central banks will be making intensive moves:

On the Fed's side, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut at the December 11 FOMC meeting is as high as 89.4%. This would be the third rate cut this year. Once confirmed, the federal funds rate will drop to the 3.50%-3.75% range, effectively ending quantitative tightening. The market will see about $135 billion in new liquidity—this is a real catalyst for risk assets.

The European Central Bank is more conservative and will most likely keep rates unchanged at its December meeting. However, with retail sales data continuing to weaken, the market is already preparing for further easing in 2026.

India's central bank is more aggressive—cutting rates directly by 25 basis points (1 notch) in December. The reason is simple: inflation has hit a historic low, providing room for rate cuts.

The situation at the Bank of Japan is a bit more complicated. Household spending has dropped by 3%, so the probability of a rate hike is low, but the yen is under increasing appreciation pressure, making policy decisions more difficult.

As for China, there haven't been any clear rate cut signals recently, but the spillover effect of the global easing wave is present. The LPR quotation may be adjusted to hedge and support domestic demand.

Market-wise, $ZEC $PIPPIN is also rising in tandem, but it's important to pace yourself—observe more, act less, and wait for confirmation signals before getting on board.
ETH1.55%
ZEC1.25%
PIPPIN-23.29%

There is a 89.4% chance it's right there, and I damn well just don't dare to move.

Once again, $135 billion in liquidity catalyzed, but those who dare to take the plunge must be careful of the trap of consensus buildup.

The term "consensus buildup" is well put. The market is like this now; as soon as news arrives, everyone follows suit. By the time they wake up, it's already too late. I'm just worried that after the Federal Reserve confirms the interest rate cut, it might instead become a signal to sell off.

An 89.4% probability basically means all expectations have already been priced in. Anyone still chasing now is just catching the last baton.

Wait, is this really an interest rate cut rally, or are the whales setting another consensus trap? $135 billion in liquidity sounds impressive, but it feels like everyone buying in is just left holding the bag...

Consensus piling up? Bro, that's a pretty harsh way to put it, but honestly, it does feel a bit overvalued. 135 billion in liquidity sounds great, but at the end of the day, it's still just a game of musical chairs. What I'm more concerned about is when China will actually take action. The whole world is loosening up while we're still on the sidelines, and that gap is just getting wider.

The term "consensus buildup" is spot on. Right now, a bunch of people are betting on the Fed cutting rates, and even more are just following the trend... Let's see what happens on December 11.
