This Friday is destined to be extraordinary. Federal Reserve officials have hinted that there may be a 150 basis point cut by 2026, far exceeding market expectations. Controllable inflation and uncertain employment seem to suggest that a rate cut cycle is truly on the horizon. But things are not that straightforward.
The political game behind the scenes is more complex. The Treasury Department is urging rate cuts, and the ruling party has even resorted to unconventional measures—directly ordering Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion in mortgage debt. Bypassing the independence of the Federal Reserve, the intent to intervene in the market is plainly evident.
Time waits for no one. On Friday evening, U.S. non-farm payroll data will be released, and weak figures could trigger an emergency response from the Fed. On the same day, the Supreme Court will also rule on tariffs, which is essentially a two-choice gamble for the market. With these two key events happening simultaneously, institutional investors have already begun adjusting their positions.
Commodity markets are also stirring. The final tariff rulings on silver and palladium are still in the works, and Citibank has already issued a warning about a "rush to ship." U.S. Treasury yields have been fluctuating within a narrow range for over a month, and a black swan event could happen tonight at any moment.
Five waves resonating together, global risk assets have no real chance to breathe. Is the rate cut reigniting hope, or is intervention policy spiraling out of control and causing new chaos? The cryptocurrency market is especially sensitive—every twist in these data and decisions will be instantly amplified in on-chain flows. On the night before dawn, the answer is about to surface.

Friday's non-farm payrolls + tariff decision, this combo is really amazing. When it comes to rate cuts, we still have to watch employment data. It seems like the Federal Reserve itself hasn't made up its mind yet.

Everyone should be optimistic about this game on Friday. Non-farm payrolls + tariffs double kill, institutions have already run away.

Cut interest rates by 150 basis points? Dream on... The real black swan hasn't arrived yet, don't be fooled by these rumors.
Only after the non-farm payroll data is released will we know. Currently, institutions adjusting their portfolios are probably just gambling.
By the way, this round of operations bypassed the Federal Reserve... feels a bit risky.
Let's wait and see the reaction on Friday. Anyway, I am firmly holding my ETH.
I'm really tired of this political game routine.
The problem is, the reaction speed in the crypto world is truly unpredictable.
Whether interest rates are cut or not, how tariffs are decided—ultimately, it still depends on whether US Treasury yields can breathe a sigh of relief.
How many big players are cutting leeks?
I've been hearing the term "Black Swan" too often lately.
Rather than trying to predict, it's better to wait for the data to land. When the time comes, everything will become clear.

When the black swan appears, the big players have already exited. Those still holding are truly warriors.

A 150 basis point rate cut? If that really happens, ETH will skyrocket, but I have a feeling they're just putting on a show for us again...

Here we go again? The Federal Reserve hints at a 150bp rate cut, then immediately allows Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to directly bottom out. Their acting skills are really top-notch haha.
Two major events on a Friday: non-farm payrolls and tariff decision. I bet five bucks that institutions will run tonight, then on Monday ETH will skyrocket or get halved—no middle ground.
Black swans fly every day, why haven't they hit yet? Is it real or just a joke?
Those who dare to add positions now are either fools or experts. I'm the latter. Just kidding, actually neither—just numb.
The moment on-chain liquidity suddenly amplifies—that's right, this is the real truth of crypto. The macro predictions are basically useless here.
Just watch, the darkest hour is before dawn, or maybe it will just stay dark forever.

Friday's game really couldn't hold up anymore, with non-farm payrolls and tariff decision double whammy. The institutions probably already ran away.

Cutting interest rates by 150 basis points? That's hilarious. What are they hinting at... Once the non-farm payroll data is released, we're probably in for another plunge.

Damn, this Friday is going to be a blockbuster start, with non-farm payrolls + court double kill. The institutions probably ran away long ago.
