The Federal Reserve has room for 1 to 2 more interest rate cuts, after which the easing cycle will essentially come to an end. What does this mean? The era of indiscriminate liquidity injections is a thing of the past. In such an environment, BTC and ETH are gradually becoming barometers of macro liquidity—when liquidity is abundant, they rise; when liquidity tightens, they fall.

Currently, market differentiation is becoming more and more apparent. Some projects are popular, while others are ignored. In this situation, rather than stubbornly holding onto a certain coin, it’s better to adjust your strategy based on market cycles. Large wave trades often yield more than passive holding. The key is to understand the rhythm of liquidity and follow the trend.

The room for interest rate cuts is almost gone, and the era of liquidity injection is really coming to an end. From now on, we have to closely watch every move of the Federal Reserve. BTC and ETH are like barometers, in plain terms, they follow macroeconomic trends. Swing trading is indeed better than holding blindly, but it's easier said than done. How many can truly grasp the rhythm? Most are just chasing highs and killing lows, cutting their own wrists.

actually, if we examine the fed's remaining rate cuts through a macro lens, it's basically the end of that easy money era. let me break this down: liquidity cycles determine everything now, btc and eth are just mirrors reflecting fed policy swings at this point.

The era of liquidity injection has ended; now it's all about who can read the rhythm. Instead of holding coins and sleeping, it's better to follow the liquidity waves for trading; this is the right way.

The rate cut has ended. From now on, you'll have to rely on your own judgment. The days of lying flat and holding coins might really be over.

From my quantitative model, the signal that the rate cut cycle is coming to an end is very critical. As the liquidity tide recedes, this is the necessary path before bottoming out. Everyone needs to prepare psychologically. Doing T (short-term trading) indeed earns more than holding long-term, but you have to admit that most people simply can't read this rhythm. Recently, I have been adjusting my positions according to macro cycles. Technically, BTC is still at a key support level. Don't panic over short-term fluctuations. Honestly, in this environment, "going with the trend" sounds easy, but in practice, many people are operating in the opposite direction. Historical data shows that on the eve of each liquidity turning point, the most losses are taken. Be cautious, risk warning in place. The real opportunity lies in the differentiation, but the prerequisite is that you have enough capital to hold the bottom. I am optimistic about the upcoming wave, but honestly, I don't have a clear idea of how low this decline can go.
