The Fed's rate cut signals emerge, and the cryptocurrency market is betting on this 'time difference'
On June 17, Fed spokesperson Nick revealed: inflation improvements were already sufficient for a rate cut this week, but the risk of tariffs pushing up prices temporarily held things back.
This set of signals hides a key logic:
✅ The inflection point for inflation is established, and a rate cut is 'only a matter of time';
✅ Tariffs are a short-term interference, and the market is already betting on the expectation of 'rate cut restart'.
For the cryptocurrency market, the core engine is the easing of the dollar: rate cut expectations → dollar liquidity easing → risk assets (Bitcoin, altcoins) being frantically bought by funds.
Although things are temporarily stuck, the script of the 'easing super cycle' has not been rewritten --- funds are already positioning in advance through contracts and spot trading, just waiting for tariff pressures to dissipate and for the rate cut to ignite the market.
Tonight, the U.S. stock market may see a surge in sentiment again due to the positive news of rate cuts, and tonight you can look for opportunities to continue entering short-term contract swings!!!
