US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick recently publicly criticized the Federal Reserve.
He criticized that maintaining high interest rates is wrong, and said that if Trump takes office, he can push economic growth to 6%. How to do it? Lower interest rates + reduce energy costs.
This is quite interesting. The fiscal department and monetary policy department are clearly at odds, but for the market, such expectations themselves are signals.
If interest rates really go down, where will the money flow? Definitely towards risk assets. Crypto assets have always been most sensitive to liquidity. Whenever expectations of easing emerge, mainstream coins like Bitcoin tend to be the first to move. After all, during dollar liquidity injections, they are naturally hedging tools.
Plus, if economic growth expectations are optimistic, overall risk sentiment will also improve, opening up room for valuation recovery.
But, to be fair, don't rush to buy at this level. You can slowly position yourself, buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other assets on dips during corrections. Holding medium to long term shouldn't be an issue.
The key is to pay close attention to two things: one is the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting, and the other is the policy direction before and after the US election. Short-term volatility is certain, so don’t leverage too much; dollar-cost averaging with diversified allocations is more stable.
When policies clash, opportunities often hide behind them. The key is not to be impulsive, wait until the trend is clear before increasing your positions.

Honestly, these policies are the most profitable when they go against the trend, as long as you don't get cut off.

Once the interest rate cut expectation emerges, mainstream coins should move. That's the pattern.

Expectations of rate cuts cause the crypto market to stir, but this trick isn’t new anymore.
Policy clashes indeed can create wealth; it all depends on who can resist chasing the high.
Lower interest rates lead to higher coin prices; the logic couldn’t be clearer, but every time someone chases the peak and ends up crying.
Lutnick’s recent attack on the Federal Reserve is quite fierce, behind it is paving the way for Trump.
Dollar-cost averaging with diversification is truly the ultimate test of human nature; most people still can’t hold on.
Entering now is essentially betting on policy shifts; weigh the risks yourself.
The Federal Reserve meeting is the key, and we’ll see what the minutes say when they are released.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is back again, and this routine feels so familiar... Why didn't I make any profit during the last easing? A slap in the face. However, this time Lutnick directly confronting the Federal Reserve is indeed a bit different. When policy departments clash, it's definitely a positive for the crypto circle.

Wait, Lutnick, are you really boosting the market or do you really have the confidence? Talking about a 6% growth rate so casually.

ngl, this policy clash is giving 2022 vibes and i'm getting that uncomfortable itch... been there, lost that. rate cuts sound juicy but watch your health factors fam, liquidations come FAST when the music stops. not financial advice but seriously, don't lever up like it's free money.

Interest rates are falling, money has to flow into risk assets. BTC is about to rise... It all depends on when the Federal Reserve will back down.
