Now everyone is waiting for interest rate cuts, anticipating another dip for a higher rebound. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell alternates between saying it will happen soon and that it won't happen quickly. Coupled with the current international situation being unstable, there are not many good opportunities for blockchain. It has struggled to rise only to be pushed back down, oscillating back and forth, causing unease among people.
