Friday is here again. This week, the market felt like it was on pause—U.S. stocks went sideways, and Bitcoin moved sideways too. On the surface, everything seems calm, but in reality, all kinds of capital are holding their breath, waiting for that crucial decision from the Fed in December.

Volatility? There is some, but it's just minor fluctuations. A few data points were released yesterday, and the market didn’t even blink. Now everyone is focused on just one thing: Will there be a rate cut this time? A 0.25% cut is the consensus, but what if there's a surprise? No one dares to guarantee anything.

This week will probably just drift by like this. The real action will come next week: the dot plot will be released, Powell will speak, and a bunch of economic data will be announced all at once.

That's when the market will really start to move. And opportunities will follow.

The sideways market has been going on for so long I'm about to fall asleep, just waiting for next week's big show. As soon as Powell speaks, there will probably be another shakeout. Better play it safe for now. Holding coins now is all about mentality—whoever breaks down first loses. The rate cut is about to happen, feels like the opportunity is just around the corner. Wait, wait, wait—there's no rush for just a few more days anyway.

Holding our breath waiting for that moment, I’m speechless. It feels like the entire market is playing the Red Light, Green Light game.
