📈 Don't Place Too Much Expectation on Rate Cuts – Crypto Needs Strength from the Market, Not News



Many investors are "holding their breath" waiting for the Fed meeting, hoping that a rate cut will trigger a strong pump in the market. That’s not wrong, but you shouldn’t put too much faith in it either.

In traditional markets, lower interest rates are always supportive: US stocks rally, gold rises steadily, and clear trends emerge. But the thing is, crypto doesn’t behave that way. In the past two months, the Fed has cut rates twice in a row, but the crypto market hasn’t reacted positively at all—not even a notable bounce.

The reason is simple:
🔹 News is almost always "priced in" before it's announced
🔹 Weak liquidity – buying power is not enough to absorb the upside
🔹 Market sentiment is still leaning bearish

Hopefully, the December 11th announcement will bring a different change, but for now, crypto is still moving sideways within a narrow range, and the overall trend is bearish.

In my personal experience, the best trading opportunities don’t come from news—they come from price action. When the market truly shows strength—breaking out of the range, forming higher lows, or reversing the short-term trend—that’s when you should act.

News can create volatility, but it's the trend that determines whether you make money or not. Be patient. Maybe next week the market will give us a clearer direction.
