The next two weeks are going to be explosive for the crypto market.
Two major central bank events are coming up, and every decision could shake up the market. Volatility? It’ll only get wilder by the day.
Let’s start with the Fed. The meeting is on December 9-10, and right now, 90% of the market expects a 25 bps rate cut. But here’s the catch—
If it’s really a 25 bps cut? That’s “boots hitting the ground,” already priced in, so be careful of a “sell the news” dump. If it’s a surprise 50 bps cut? That’s an unexpected boon, liquidity will surge instantly, and risk assets could take off.
Then comes the Bank of Japan. They’re meeting December 18-19, and negative rates might be coming to an end.
If they actually hike rates? Global liquidity will tighten immediately, and risk assets will be in trouble. If they hold steady? Not much short-term impact, but the market’s already on edge—any spark could set things off.
Smart money has already taken positions. This round is both an opportunity and a trap—it all depends on which side you choose.
Do you think the Fed will stick to the script, or will they surprise everyone with extra easing? Will Japan really dare to hike? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I think the Federal Reserve definitely won't unexpectedly loosen policy, lowering interest rates by 50 basis points? Dream on, at most they will follow the script with 25 basis points, and then everyone will start selling off. Over in Japan, it's even more interesting—after playing with negative interest rates for so long, they suddenly raise rates. When liquidity tightens, us small retail investors will probably just lie flat on the ground.

The dust has settled but instead it crashed the market. I believe this logic now. Tomorrow I’m going all in on short positions.

The real fear comes when the shoe finally drops; don't rush to jump in before all the good news has been released.

The real meat grinder is when the shoe finally drops. That’s when we’ll see who’s been swimming naked, haha.

The biggest fear when the dust settles is that it's below expectations, and then we'll really have to take a loss.

The shoe has finally dropped, but instead of a rebound, the market tanked. This trick has been played too many times—are we really going to catch the falling knife again this time?

Damn, a 25-point cut leads to a dump, a 50-point cut and I still don't dare to go all in. This is the situation now... it's really fucking tormenting.

I'm numb, these past two weeks have been like a casino. I'm already all in, counting on this wave to break even.
A 25bps cut means dump? A 50bps cut means pump? Seems like people can make up any story. I don't buy it.
If Japan dares to hike rates, I'll go all in shorting. I don't believe in that.
Wait, to be safe, maybe I should add some more to my position. I'm afraid of missing out on this last bull market.
