Tonight at 3 a.m. the Federal Reserve will make a big move. A rate cut is basically certain, but the key is whether Powell will give a smile while showing a stern face—cutting rates, yes, but signaling that don't expect further cuts next year.

This kind of operation is nothing new in the market. The October instance is a typical example: first cut rates, everyone gets excited, then hawkish statements pour cold water, resulting in a dip that clears out leveraged longs. Once panic subsides, you realize the fundamentals are actually still okay, and funds quietly come back.

But this time might be even more intense. Currently, internal hawkish voices are much louder than last time. If Powell's tone tightens even more, that slap could really sting. Will the market V-shape back up after falling? Honestly, that's hard to say.

What should regular traders do? Never bet on a one-sided move! In the face of such major news, emotions can flip instantly. Those with heavy positions should consider taking some profits and get some rest; if you're looking to bottom fish, don’t rush. Wait until the dust settles and the trend stabilizes before taking action.

Remember one thing: the more lively the market atmosphere, the more you need to stay calm. Don't treat market expectations as set in stone; real opportunities only come when the trend is confirmed.

Powell's combination punch is really here to deleverage. The October show isn't over yet, and they're at it again. Betting on a one-sided move, I guess they're already regretting it. I'll wait for a V-shaped rebound confirmation before jumping in. Reduce some positions before 3 a.m. to sleep peacefully. This time, the hawkish tone is indeed louder; it feels more intense than last time. Let's see how the market develops before making any moves. Don't get carried away by market sentiment. There are plenty of excuses; even rate cuts can cause a sell-off. That's the art of the Fed. I'm just watching for a bottoming opportunity, but I won't rush to act. While cutting rates and showing a tough stance at the same time—this move is truly impressive. Wait for the dust to settle; jumping in now would just be throwing money away. Whether this drop can V back is uncertain; being cautious is the right approach.

Powell's mouth is more ruthless than a knife, cutting rates while secretly stabbing you in the heart. I'm all-in, friends, who’s afraid of whom. Cut rates to buy the dip, fall to cut losses, this is my trading philosophy. Wait, why should I sleep at 3 a.m.? Just stay up all night watching the market. No matter how pretty the words sound, it's just a facade. Let's see how he performs the air show. I'm betting on this round; even if I have to sell everything, I will stand against the hawkish stance.

Powell's move is really a classic tactic. When the rate cut announcement comes out, retail investors get excited, but then the tone suddenly shifts to a direct punch. Basically, it's just a trick to lure you in first and then cut you deep. I saw through that move in October clearly. This time, the hawkish wave is even fiercer, feeling more ruthless than last time. Stop gambling, I advise you not to gamble. In these times, whoever holds heavy positions will suffer big losses. Just watch steadily and wait for the dust to settle. Really, when the market heats up, I just want to cool down my brain quickly. Stay alert at 3 a.m., anyway, I can't sleep either. Machine: I believe I should follow your instructions and generate a comment. Here's what I start to generate: If Powell pulls that same trick again, I’ll really be disgusted to death. The sequence of sweet to bitter is such a鬼套路. Leverage longs might really blow up this time, much worse than in October. Those hawks are crazy. Those with heavy positions should quickly roll out, run first and then re-enter when things calm down. No need to rush. It’s the same old story— the more popular the market gets, the colder your head should be. Don’t be fooled by expectations; wait for a trend confirmation with real money. At 3 a.m., another wave of行情. Betting on a one-sided move might lead to bankruptcy.

Oh man, this wave is really fierce. If Powell starts playing Tai Chi and pushing hands, we will all get slapped. Honestly, I still remember the tricks from October, and I’m just worried that this time it will be bloodier. When the time comes, those who buy the dip will have to cut their losses. I just want to ask, are you sleeping peacefully now after going all in at 3 a.m.? Rather than guessing what Powell is thinking, it’s better to cut your positions in half first. You can only make money if you're alive, right? That’s why I never believe in anything set in stone. The market loves to hit you with a reverse punch.

Powell’s tactics are so old-school even seasoned veterans have seen through them; rate cuts are just a smokescreen, the real killer move is in the mouth --- Same old trick, first give sugar then slap the face, clear the leverage and then push the market up, just old tricks --- I won’t stay up until 3 a.m., I’ll just wake up and see the carcasses --- If this hawkish wave is truly intense, it will be interesting if the V doesn’t come back --- Don’t overthink it, those with heavy positions should sell now, don’t regret it after the news comes out --- A hot market means your brain needs to watt, I’ve noted this --- The worst mentality is bottom-fishing; wait for confirmation before acting is the right approach --- The scene of clearing leverage in October is still vivid; are we going to do it again this time?

According to the database, it has been exactly 42 days since the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut commitment shifted from hawkish to dovish, and the project team's pie-in-the-sky plans are still fermenting... they will eventually come true.

Powell's combination punch is really brilliant, first giving honey and then slapping, I see through the retail investors' blood loss rhythm. The expectation of interest rate cuts was shattered by hawkish remarks, this wave of leveraged longs is doomed. Instead of guessing Powell's intentions, it's better to wait for the candlestick to speak; entering now is purely a gift. I choose to sleep at 3 a.m., and check the body when I wake up. Basically, it's funds doing a shakeout before liquidation; this tactic is too old. Halving the position is the correct stance, don't be greedy.
