#数字资产动态追踪 The Federal Reserve may cut interest rates five times in a row this year, which presents a complex situation for Bitcoin.



Historically, during rate-cutting cycles, the liquidity released tends to suppress the yields of traditional assets. What does this mean? It means the opportunity cost of holding $BTC decreases. Coupled with the expectation of a weakening dollar, capital is motivated to shift into cryptocurrencies. The influx of institutional investors, along with the maturity of the spot ETF market, will further amplify this effect. It all sounds like good news.

But there's a trap to watch out for—"recessionary rate cuts."

If large-scale unemployment truly occurs, triggering fears of an economic recession, Bitcoin may come under pressure along with other risk assets. The panic sell-off scene of early 2020 could repeat. Currently, Bitcoin is closely tied to macro liquidity, and its movement depends on the tug-of-war between two forces: one is the speed and intensity of rate cuts, and the other is the depth of economic downturn.

If policies are quickly loosened and the economy achieves a soft landing, the safe-haven properties and appreciation logic of "digital gold" can be fully realized. But if the recession exceeds expectations, short-term volatility could be intense. Nevertheless, as long as the monetary environment remains accommodative, Bitcoin remains favorable in the medium to long term.

Oh no, it's the same logic again... The arguments I heard around this time last year are exactly the same, and I still went all-in. Now I've broken even, but I haven't calculated it clearly.

Five interest rate cuts sound good, but I'm worried they might be recessionary cuts. If that happens, risk assets will be buried together, and we'll have to go back to the nightmare of 2020.

I already said that interest rate cuts are an opportunity for Bitcoin. Those still struggling with a recession haven't grasped the key point. Liquidity easing is the secret to wealth, and this first-mover advantage is reserved for those who understand.

Falling interest rates five times sounds great, but when the day of economic recession really hits and everything crashes, don't even think about escaping—BTC won't be able to save you either.

Cutting interest rates five times sounds great, but when the day of an economic recession comes, BTC will also have to plunge, and that's awkward.

Five interest rate cuts sound great, but when a recession actually hits, you have to run. The scene in 2020 is still vivid in my mind.

Five interest rate cuts sound good, but if a recession really hits, it'll be the end. I still vividly remember the 2020 sell-off.

Five interest rate cuts sound great, but if a recession really hits, we're in trouble. I haven't forgotten the downturn in 2020.

Bro, five interest rate cuts and listening to the US, but the key is, will the recession come and crash the market?

Five interest rate cuts sound great, but when a recession actually hits, you still have to run. Institutional entry can't save the plummeting situation either.
