Breaking News! The Federal Reserve FOMC has announced an emergency press conference today at 12:30 PM Eastern Time (early morning Beijing time), involving prospects of interest rate cuts and market liquidity issues. Once the news broke, mainstream cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Bitcoin, and BNB immediately entered a high volatility warning state.



Why is the crypto market so sensitive to the Fed's moves? Essentially, it’s about the transmission effect of liquidity. Historically, whenever the Federal Reserve signals rate cuts or easing, funds seeking high returns flock in, with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin often being the first choice. Currently, expectations for rate cuts are heating up, and idle funds in traditional finance are eager to find an outlet. The crypto sector is becoming a potential reservoir of capital. As a result, mainstream coins are prone to sharp fluctuations in the short term.

Opportunities and risks are clashing fiercely within these 24 hours. Institutions and big players may have already positioned themselves in advance, but ordinary investors facing such volatility can easily fall into dilemmas—panic selling, washouts, misjudging the trend—these happen frequently. If they follow the trend with leverage, accounts can be wiped out in minutes.

Signals from the press conference will directly influence short-term market sentiment. Be cautious: initial reactions may see extreme swings, so don’t panic and follow the trend blindly. The true direction can only be confirmed after the market has fully digested the information.

Global capital is watching the Fed tonight. In this liquidity game, are you planning to seize the opportunity or first avoid risks? Feel free to share your thoughts.

Sending news in the early morning? There's a 99% chance the whales have already accumulated early. I'm now setting up on-chain transfer monitoring to take a look.

Here we go again, as soon as the Federal Reserve meetings start, the crypto world has to follow the chaos. Institutions have long been prepared, and we're retail investors just waiting to be cut for the last time. Staying up late watching the market, and then a single piece of news causes a 10% plunge—it's truly unbelievable.

Here we go again. As soon as the Federal Reserve starts a meeting, the market starts to shake, feeling like we're just puppets on a string. Waiting for those two hours in the early morning, probably witnessing another wave of retail investors heading to the slaughterhouse. The big players have already set up their plans, while we retail investors are still hesitating whether to buy or not. It's hilarious. I'm skeptical about this liquidity transmission. The real money is still on the sidelines, watching and waiting. Don't fight your own leverage. I've made my stance clear: I'll wait for the news to be confirmed, watch others cut their losses, and then decide.

Early morning press conference? Oh no, I have to stay up late again. Will they really cut interest rates this time, or will we get cut again?
