When Powell signals dovish expectations, the market has a way of surprising everyone. Stocks flipped from red to green faster than anticipated—turns out investors are betting the Fed chief gets more support from the rally than he bargained for. It's the classic setup: bearish positioning meets bullish execution. Watch how central bank sentiment ripples through traditional markets. For crypto traders, these equity movements often foreshadow volatility spikes and funding rate shifts. The correlation between risk-on flows in stocks and altcoin pumps remains one of the most reliable tells in the market cycle.

Powell's dovish stance causes the entire market to celebrate. I am too familiar with this routine; I have already laid traps in the futures market.

It's the same old trick again, as soon as Powell speaks, the stock market starts acting up... Alright, I'll bet it'll be the same next time.

Coming back with this again? When Powell goes dovish, the stock market turns green. I could recite this script by heart... The key still depends on how altcoins follow suit; the funding rate is the real truth.

Is this how Powell bails out? Stocks are soaring like they've been injected with adrenaline. I should have seen through this trick long ago... Once again, it's institutions playing the game, while retail investors are still left holding the bag.

Coming back with the same move? As soon as Powell gives a dovish signal, they play the opposite. Old trick.

As soon as Powell speaks, the market moves in the opposite direction. I've fallen for this trick before... Let's see how long this rally can last.

ngl the "reliable tells" framing here is taxonomically incorrect—you're conflating correlation coefficients with causal mechanisms, which data suggests otherwise per my analysis of q3 funding rate distributions. let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick, but the altcoin pumps aren't actually following equity flows with any statistical significance worth betting on rn

Powell just relaxes, and retail investors start betting on luck... The rebound speed is really outrageous, bear positions instantly turn into bulls, classic trading tactics
