The Rate Cut illusion: Why Market Dump Instead of Pump 😓. You need to know this truth 🤯: For the past three months, Trump has been talking about rate cuts. Many crypto enthusiasts assumed that the moment a cut came, portfolios would surge and profits would roll in. Similar promises were made during his presidency, which created unrealistic expectations that “a big pump is guaranteed.” But what actually happened? Instead of a massive rally, the market dropped almost 80% after those hopes. Retail traders once again became liquidity for the big players. Only Bitcoin and a handful of top coins delivered any meaningful performance. Fast forward to Powell’s speech on August 22, where he hinted at possible cuts in September. The market reacted sharply: Ethereum spiked from 4046 to 4955, hitting a new ATH, and excitement spread. But within a day of consolidation, $ETH fell back near 4350 and the market followed. The pattern is clear this entire cycle is less about promised pumps and more about liquidity grabs. Many are waiting for another “big altcoin season” after rate cuts, but think again. $BTC , ETH, $SOL , $XRP, $BNB and others have already made their moves. With thousands of altcoins in circulation today, relying on “the next great pump” is dangerous. This market rewards timing, patience, and smart positioning not blind hope. that's why I sold my crypto bag. 🤝🏻: follow me for daily market Update! #MarketPullback #TrumpFiresFedGovernorCook #BTCWhalesMoveToETH
