Yesterday's market was really crazy, I named it "The Rate Cut Puzzle."



Bitcoin's performance was just like a kid—when the Fed announced a 25 basis point rate cut, it shot up to $5,000 instantly, all excited like "Finally, someone cares about me"; then Powell added, "Maybe we'll cut once more next year," and it dropped $4,000 straight down, that disappointment vividly played out as a free fall. Isn't it a rate cut? Why is it still falling? 🤦

Look at these retail investors, their routines haven't changed:

Spot traders tightly hold their wallets, pretending to be statues. Futures traders are already lining up on rooftops, probably turned into fireworks by now. The most ruthless are miners—they watch the shutdown price approach while spamming champagne emojis in the group chat. Who can stand this? 🍾

Crypto project teams changed their PPTs overnight: "The rate cut cycle is over? You misunderstood, this is just the prologue of our new narrative!" (Their reaction speed is truly different).

Now the whole internet echoes one voice: "Powell's move wasn't a rate cut at all, it's just ATM cash withdrawal." The much-anticipated celebration turned into a coupon—"Spend $500, save $25, use again next time." The market has seen through it and just lay flat for the weekend after two days of volatility, with emotions so stable it’s almost heartbreaking. 💔

So this "love" from the Fed is like a promise from a scumbag—it's given, but not fully. Let's buckle up, the roller coaster ticketing has just begun. 🎢

Powell's move, I see right through it, just playing the虚 game Contract traders are really miserable, they directly cleared their positions this wave Still need to wait until next week to see if it can rebound, can't sell off now

Powell is really amazing, trapping the entire market with just one sentence Contract brothers are indeed queuing on the rooftop, hilarious Is this called options or futures? Anyway, I don't understand I've already given up, I won't sell even if it drops That champagne meme of the miner made me laugh too, indifferent to life and death, come at me if you disagree Who still believes in the rate cut story? The story has turned into a ghost story The "spend 500, get 25 off" deal is truly outrageous, I don't want this discount anyway

Powell's move really is just to mess with people's mentality, giving hope only to take it back. I bet five bucks that next week it'll fluctuate again.

Powell really is the market killer; even a rate cut can cause such a big drop, incredible. Contract traders probably have already queued up on the rooftop, I’m just watching quietly. Miners are still posting champagne charts, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud—this mindset is truly unmatched.

Powell is really a big liar, trying to fool us with just one rate cut? Contracts are exploding, there's no space on the rooftop anymore haha Seeing miners switch to champagne, I knew this year would be a waste again The speed at which air coins change PPT is faster than my all-in, incredible ATM cash withdrawal is a perfect analogy, just like wool harvesting I've learned the trick of lying flat and relaxing on weekends, anyway I can't make money What's the use of fastening your seatbelt? This roller coaster has no brakes at all

Powell, these 25 basis points are really just teasing us; a $25 discount on every $500 spent made me laugh.

Looking at this wave of market, the lending rate has not shown a significant decline, which is the most warning signal. Contract leverage remains high, and the domino effect of liquidations can trigger at any time.
