These days, a strange phenomenon has emerged in the market: the US economic data is booming, yet Wall Street can't sit still.

Let's look at the numbers—Q3 GDP growth rate skyrocketed to 4.2%, far exceeding the market expectation of 2.5%. Logically, this should be the time to celebrate. But what happened? The stock market didn't rise; instead, it trembled. Investors are frantically worried: will there be a rate hike? will there be tightening? An economy that's doing too well has become bad news, and this logic is indeed somewhat twisted.

The current US President is very dissatisfied with this and directly criticized the Federal Reserve: why should good news push the market up, but now it has become the fuse for rate hike fears? His core point is—an improving economy should support the market, not punish growth. This sounds satisfying and hits many people's pain points.

But the problems are far more than that. Look at the dollar's purchasing power—since 1971, the dollar has depreciated significantly, with a decline of nearly 90%. Persistent high inflation, central banks printing money wildly, and rising daily living costs have caused ordinary people's wealth to slip away silently, like sand slipping through their fingers.

This creates a magical situation: on one hand, economic data is good; on the other, the market fears rate hikes. On one side, monetary policy is still flooding the market; on the other, the pricing mechanism remains stuck in the old framework. As a result, the entire market is in chaos—beginning to fear growth, fear prosperity, as if good news has turned into poison.

Against this backdrop, the performance of mainstream cryptocurrencies like SOL and ETH is also full of uncertainty. The linkage between the crypto market and traditional finance is becoming closer, and any fluctuation in the macro environment can trigger a chain reaction.

To be honest, the current market logic is indeed somewhat inverted. How long will we be bound by this "inflation narrative"? Can growth and stability really coexist? These questions are worth every investor's reflection.
