The Fed has sent new signals again. Official Harmak recently stated that the inflation data for November may be underestimated, and the actual situation could be more severe. Her message is very straightforward—Interest Rates need to remain high, and adjustments won't be considered until at least next spring.

What does this mean for the cryptocurrency market? In the short term, there is indeed pressure. The dollar will remain strong, and Bitcoin along with mainstream altcoins will inevitably continue to fluctuate within a range. Many people start to worry when they hear "maintain high Intrerest Rate," but history tells us another story.

During the period of the most aggressive interest rate hikes by the Fed in 2022, Bitcoin was smashed down to 16,000. It sounds terrifying, but those who held onto their spot positions later saw a rebound to 44,000. Hawkish policies often become a marker for the bottom area - this is the contradiction of the market.

What should we do now? These points are crucial. First, don't be too aggressive with position management; leave some bullets for yourself, going all in is not an option at all. Second, enter the market in batches when the price dips; whether it's Bitcoin or Ethereum, don't rush to chase the highs. Third, definitely stay away from high leverage—staying alive is the only chance to wait for the spring blooms.

Each pullback essentially tests your confidence in your position. The road in a bull market has never been smooth; holding spot is key, and patience is the most valuable thing.
