2025 is destined to be recorded in market history. This year, many key assumptions supporting the global financial system faced severe tests, from macroeconomic data to geopolitical risks, and to central bank policy directions. Every turning point is redefining market participants' expectations.

Major mainstream financial media worldwide have closely followed these significant moments that are reshaping the market landscape. Whether it is the sharp volatility in traditional financial markets or the performance of emerging asset classes, these sudden events have had a profound impact on the pricing of risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. Investors need to reassess their understanding of fundamental factors like inflation, interest rates, and economic growth.

Against this backdrop, understanding the changes in these market drivers becomes especially important. Whether you are a traditional asset allocator or a crypto asset participant, these key moments in 2025 are worth deep reflection.

Really, when the central bank moves, everything moves. I find this wave hard to watch. --- And what is "redefining expectations" again? Basically, no one can predict correctly. --- Cryptocurrency gets panicked whenever it’s linked to traditional finance; there's no way out. --- 2025 is indeed magical. I no longer know what to believe in my investment portfolio. --- Instead of deep thinking, it's better to gamble on luck. Who can truly see through these days? --- As always, risk assets are just for harvesting the leeks. Deserved it. --- When the central bank policy shifts, the crypto world immediately cries and calls for its mother. It’s always like this.

I'll generate a few comments with different styles: --- 2025 isn't over yet, and we're about to make history again? Let's wait until the end of the year to see if we're still alive haha --- When the central bank policy changes, the world gets chaotic. I just want to know whose predictions will fail this time --- Deep thinking? My deep thought is all in crypto, betting on whether the next bull market will come or not --- Honestly, inflation and interest rates are old news, it all depends on how the macro situation is messed up --- When geopolitical risks appear, crypto prices start to jump around. You need to watch this pattern a few more times to understand --- Redefining expectations? Everyone says that every year. I just want to see if prices will go down or up --- Wait a minute, crypto pricing is influenced by traditional markets. Isn't this the pain we've been suffering all along? --- Market history and all that, I only care if my wallet is still there --- With macro data fluctuating so much, retail investors are still playing? --- Understanding market drivers? Better to understand why I always lose money by doing the opposite

The theory of historical cycles tells me that these big waves actually repeat every three years, we've been on the same game for a while. I knew it, the crypto world is always so dramatic, which actually signals it's time to get on board. Really, at critical moments, it's actually a good opportunity to reallocate. The traditional financial approach simply doesn't apply here. This cycle feels especially unusual, not something that can be explained by conventional macro data, there's something more. I don't understand much, but I know that risk assets are bottoming out. Anyway, in three years, looking back now, it'll be a bargain.

This year's market has indeed been exciting, but to be honest, the ones who truly make money are always the seasoned veterans who can stay calm. When the central bank's policies change suddenly, retail investors start panicking and selling off. I find this the most annoying. Will 2025 go down in history? Let's wait and see. It's too early to draw conclusions now. Basically, it's just high volatility, lots of opportunities, and also high risks. Nothing new. This kind of year tests psychological resilience the most, not analytical skills. Inflation, interest rates, growth... these words are getting tiresome. Let's just see how the market actually moves. I just want to know when there will be a clear direction. Constantly wavering really tires me out. Rather than re-examining my perceptions, it's better to reflect on my own positions. A historic moment? Maybe, but for small retail investors like me, it's just a moment of losing money. The profound impact of risk asset pricing? Sounds nice, but simply put, it’s just following the big players' routines.

That's what they say, but the ones who really make money are still the old foxes who get off early. To be honest, when have macroeconomic data ever been accurate? Anyway, I don't trust it. The central bank's recent moves are truly outrageous; it's already 2025 and they're still testing the waters. Crypto is the real deal; the traditional financial system is already outdated. Talking about fundamental factors every day, but it's still each to their own. We'll see how it goes.

Back at it again with this routine? Every time they say "making history," and what happens? Big funds just run after they finish cutting, and we, the little guys, end up holding the bag. Honestly, it's because we don't understand, so we say we "need to think deeply." To be honest, who can really understand this? Central bank policies, geopolitical risks... these things have already been priced in by the big players. When we read the news, they've already moved on. Another year of the leek growth story, nothing new. Re-defining expectations in 2025? They said the same last year... Inflation, interest rates—these basic factors, in the end, it all depends on how Bitcoin moves. Don't fool yourself. Investors re-evaluating? I think it's the big players re-evaluating our wallets.

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. Nice words, but it's still just gambling luck. The fundamentals in the crypto world have long been a mess. 2. The central bank policy adjustment causes a direct bloodbath. No matter how much deep thinking is claimed, it's too late... 3. 2025 is really coming. Surviving until the end of the year without liquidation is considered a win. 4. It's the same old "redefining expectations" rhetoric, hearing it until my ears are calloused. 5. Any geopolitical risk can wipe out a year's worth of gains effortlessly. It's so frustrating.

Here are some comments: 1. Here we go again, every year they say this year will be "etched in history," anyone can say such big words... The ones really making money are those who keep their heads down and operate quietly. 2. The central bank's recent moves really confused everyone, it feels like the fundamental understanding has been completely overturned, now we can only rely on experience and luck. 3. Cryptocurrency has indeed been dragged down by traditional finance; even though the technology itself is fine, they still follow the market to their own detriment. 4. After all this talk about illusions, I just want to ask—are you bullish or bearish this time? 5. Interest rates, inflation, geopolitical issues—basically, it's a gamble on what the central bank will do next, it's too esoteric. 6. Wait, do those "asset allocators" really scrutinize the fundamentals? I think they're still trading based on FOMO. 7. The pricing of risk assets is affected... that's probably why the crypto space is so easy to get liquidated.

Once again, it's about "making history." Every year, it's the same saying. Which time has truly changed something?
