The Fed's recent actions are indeed worth watching. If interest rates remain unchanged into Q1 2026, Bitcoin could drop to 70,000, and Ethereum might also be dragged down. But the key point is this — the Federal Reserve has stopped quantitative tightening and is now buying $40 billion in short-term government bonds each month, which is equivalent to "hidden QE" injecting liquidity.
From another perspective, if this purchasing plan continues into the first quarter of next year, the market might actually be supported, with BTC surging to 92,000-98,000, and ETH reaching 3,600. Plus, with $50 billion in ETF funds and institutional accumulation, this is a significant positive signal.
So the current situation is — policy direction is crucial. My advice is not to rush to exit at this stage, but rather to pay attention to new project interaction opportunities. The more uncertain the market, the better the chances to profit. Participate in testnet activities and token interactions with minimal cost. When the trend truly becomes clear, our addresses will already be on the airdrop lists of several projects.
