Last night's jump in the US stock market really made people's hearts skip a beat. In the first half, we were still celebrating the rate cut landing at 3.75%-4.00%, thinking liquidity was coming, but then Powell turned around and poured cold water—"Inflation is not yet under control." The market instantly reversed, and the flip was so quick that even I was caught off guard.



But to be fair, having been in this circle for nearly ten years, I've seen plenty of ups and downs. Staring at the market charts for a long time, I actually find it a bit interesting: this isn't really policy flip-flopping, but rather the traditional market sending signals to the crypto world—that money is about to move.

Especially for friends who just entered the field, don't panic or follow the herd just yet. Today, let's break down why the current situation might actually be an opportunity for the crypto market.

My view is straightforward: traditional finance is now like a leaky water tank—you pour water in (rate cuts and liquidity injections), but it seeps out through the cracks (capital outflows). And the crypto market? That's the backup reservoir waiting nearby—ready to receive this outflow of funds.

Why do I say that? There are two fundamental logical points.

First, risk aversion sentiment is rising. Recently, the US government shutdown drama has played out again, even shaking the credibility of fiat currency. Where should your money go? Keep it in the bank? Watch inflation eat away at interest? This is when the advantages of decentralized assets come into play—no one can print more arbitrarily, and no one can freeze assets unilaterally. Historically, whenever the traditional credit system encounters issues, crypto assets have become an alternative. Many seasoned traders are already quietly building positions in mainstream coins, precisely because they see this trend.

Second, the Federal Reserve itself is sending mixed signals. They say they want to cut rates to rescue the market, but in practice, they emphasize that inflationary pressures still exist. This ambiguous attitude most easily triggers capital

Powell's move this time is truly a heart-pounding game, but luckily I've been used to it for a long time.

Powell's recent moves really mess with people's mindset. But upon closer reflection, the traditional financial methods are inherently like this, and we've long since gotten used to it.

Powell's move is really clever, how much people's gains has he cut?
