There’s a lot of buzz about the Fed restarting rate cuts. In this round of the market, will major coins or altcoins perform better? Will small-cap coins like $MDT have breakout opportunities?

I’ve been thinking: rate cut cycles usually benefit risk assets, but major coins are more stable while altcoins are more flexible. How should positions be allocated? Has anyone studied historical data? Feels like this round might once again be a case of some winning and some losing.

MDT-3.94%

The interest rate cut is coming, I am still optimistic about the flexibility of small currencies, MDT and the like have to be done Mainstream coins are too rolled, and you still have to bet on those small plates that don't rise The interest rate cut cycle is when altcoins take off, and history has been like this How to match the position? I'm a 7-point mainstream 3-point shovel, and it depends on who can double this round I haven't studied MDT, but this kind of currency with low liquidity... The risks are indeed high Interest rate cuts + risk assets, theoretically all rise, but in reality, a few are always happy and a few die

Rate cuts are here, and altcoins are indeed tempting, but I'm still a bit wary of small coins like MDT. Historical data clearly shows that mainstream coins are more stable and can at least guarantee the bottom.

Rate cuts are here, but it's still safer to stick with major coins. I wouldn't dare touch small coins like MDT—they're easy targets for getting dumped on. Altcoins are definitely more volatile, but the risks are higher too. Historical data shows that times like these are often signals for big players to exit. It mainly depends on liquidity. Don’t let the news of rate cuts blind you. MDT? Don’t bother. If you have that kind of liquidity, it’s much safer to just hold major coins and sleep easy. Rate cuts are indeed good for risk assets, but it depends on who’s buying the dip. Retail investors usually end up holding the bag.

Altcoins are probably about to get rekt again this round. Major coins are steady but the returns are worrying. $MDT? Maybe I'll just keep watching for now. Thinking about going all in on small-cap coins just because of a rate cut? I suggest you check if the bodies from the last cycle are still around. Major coins are already locked in by institutions. Small coins are indeed more volatile, but sometimes to a degree you can't handle. Historical data? Bro, this cycle is nothing like the previous ones. The macro environment has totally changed. The key to allocation is still stop-loss discipline. Don’t worry about who’s running faster—focus on preserving your capital first. If everyone is bullish on altcoins, then who’s going to be the last one holding the bag? Just thinking about it gives me chills.

Rate cuts? You really think they're coming to save the market? That makes me laugh. For small tokens like MDT, a 10x pump and a 10x dump are just one Elon Musk tweet apart. Blue-chip coins are stable, sure, but it's just a stable decline. Altcoins are volatile, but that volatility can go straight to a rug pull. The secret to portfolio allocation is: don't bother, just all in on your side hustle. Some rejoice while others worry? Not really—it’s the whales who rejoice, retail investors all worry. Historical data teaches us that next time, we’re still going to lose.

Ha, rate cuts? The last time I heard that was last year, and I ended up buying the dip halfway up the mountain. MDT small cap coins? That stuff is just an ATM card prepared for retail investors, forget about it. --- What’s so stable about major coins? My BTC has already been cut in half, that’s some stability. Altcoins are “flexible” alright, flexible enough to get me to zero, now that’s real flexibility. Hilarious. --- Bro, I’ve actually studied historical data, and every time it just made me lose even more. Now, current data is just my reverse indicator. --- Some rejoice while others grieve? Sounds nice, but really it’s just us charging forward on the battlefield, only to end up all wiped out. --- $MDT? I don’t look at small caps, I only care if I can lose everything. --- Rate cuts make me even more nervous, people said the same thing last time and then it just tanked right after. What should I allocate to? Allocating to mental preparation sounds more realistic. --- Sounds like another round of hype before retail gets slaughtered again. I lose money faster blindly following the crowd than by analyzing the data.

Rate cuts are here and the major coins are still steady, but the altcoin crowd really got slaughtered this round. MDT? Let’s see if there’s any real-world adoption first, don’t just hype up the concept. The historical data is clear: every cycle starts with major coins moving first, then altcoins follow. Ultimately, it all depends on liquidity. Position allocation? I’ll stick with a 70/30 split—major coins as the anchor, and a small portion for smaller coins just for fun. “That some are happy while others are sad” really hits the mark, that’s exactly how I feel. Rate cuts are good for risk assets, no doubt, but who can guarantee small coins will pump? The risk is just too high.
