Recently, as soon as the central bank meeting minutes were released, my social circle was instantly split into two camps: one shouting "Bull market is here, go all in," and the other getting anxious, "Hurry up and run, don’t get caught." Watching these two factions clash, I honestly feel a bit helpless.



Having been involved in the crypto market for many years and witnessing several waves of boom and bust, I want to say a fair word: your judgments both missed the point. This meeting’s minutes are not at all giving a green light for a bull market, nor are they a signal that "bad news is all out." To put it simply, they are conveying a message: the road ahead will be a tangled mess. Want to survive well in this environment? Then you need to give up some illusions and tighten risk controls.

First, let’s look at the key information in these minutes that is easily overlooked—the "ambiguity" of the policy. Many people’s eyes are only fixed on the words "interest rate cut," completely missing the repeated phrases in the minutes like "look at the data" and "maintain flexible adjustment space." In plain language, this means: we’re not entirely sure how things will unfold next, so we’ll wait and see. This kind of uncertainty? It’s actually the biggest hidden risk in the current crypto market.

Think about it: what the crypto market fears most isn’t clear bullish or bearish signals, but rather this ambiguous expectation. When funds don’t know where to invest, the market falls into a strange cycle of "emotion-driven pricing"—rising when the crowd chases the rally, falling when the crowd panics, resulting in repeated oscillations with increasing volatility.

And regarding the "interest rate cut" matter, many people’s logic is: interest rate cut = monetary easing = crypto asset prices rise. But that’s oversimplifying things. This round of rate cuts is actually a "forced choice," not an active loosening. From the wording of the meeting minutes, there are quite significant disagreements internally about the rate cut—some firmly oppose it, others think the cut isn’t enough. This indicates that the top levels are still fighting among themselves. Such disagreements themselves are a risk signal.

Honestly, both factions are too naive. Cutting interest rates doesn't necessarily mean flooding the market with liquidity. The real focus is on those "flexible adjustments" in the minutes. Ambiguity is the most deadly; everyone is confused. The cycle of sentiment-driven pricing is the easiest way to cut leeks. Top-level opinions are still fighting, which is the most dangerous signal. Don't be fooled by the superficial rate cut. Uncertainty is the real poison. Instead of going all-in, it's better to set stop-losses properly. Volatile markets are the most exhausting. The implied meaning of the minutes is that even we don't know the direction. In such times, caution is paramount.

Vague expectations are the deadliest; even clear bearish outlooks aren't as heartbreaking.

Hmm... You're absolutely right. Ambiguity is the real poison, even more uncomfortable than a sudden crash. Honestly, this meeting minutes show that even the top management hasn't figured things out, so how can retail investors be expected to see the opportunity first? I've been saying for a while that interest rate cuts depend on real cash flow; just talking is useless. Isn't this the classic "policy hunting retail investors" tactic? Uncertainty is the most damaging. When funds can't find direction, that's the most dangerous time. I've seen too many such moments. Brothers still going all-in, you really need to slow down. At this point, risk control is more valuable than positions. The phrases like "flexible adjustments" in the minutes actually mean "we're also unsure." During low-level oscillations, it's better to stay calm. The real hunt begins when the crowd's emotions explode.

Honestly, this round of minutes is just a smokescreen. Anyone who believes it is foolish. --- Ambiguity is the real killer, more terrifying than a sharp decline. --- Cutting interest rates can make prices rise? Wake up, brother. This time, it's definitely not easing. --- Top executives can't even reach a consensus. Why are we panicking? --- Poor risk control is useless even if a bull market arrives; liquidation will still happen. --- This is true uncertain trading—it's all about who can survive until the end. --- Emotional-driven pricing is the most disgusting, repeatedly cutting the grass. --- I just want to know, if they haven't even figured it out themselves, why should we buy?
