Tomorrow at 3 a.m., the Federal Reserve's December monetary policy meeting minutes will be released, which could be the most important market signal at the start of 2026.

The significance of these minutes lies in the fact that Federal Reserve officials have announced a rate cut, but there is a strong consensus internally to "pause further rate cuts." Behind this seemingly contradictory stance, there is a complex game involving inflation expectations, economic trends, and policy paths.

For the crypto market, regardless of whether the minutes reveal hawkish or dovish signals, the key is that they provide a more transparent policy outlook for the macro environment of global risk assets. A stable policy path means more controllable market risks, which has a profound impact on valuation systems of major coins like ETH, BNB, and SOL.

In other words, this document at 3 a.m. might help us understand the market rhythm for the first half of 2026. Close attention is warranted.

ETH-0,35%

BNB0,99%

SOL1,12%

Wake up at 3 a.m. to check the minutes? Forget it, just sleep and wait until morning to see the rise and fall directly. Anyway, it's the big players who call the shots.

Wake up at 3 a.m. to check the minutes? I choose to trust their analysis, going to sleep first.

Staying up at 3 a.m. to read the minutes... Is it really worth it? Might as well go all in and wait to be cut. The Fed is about to stir things up again. In the end, it still depends on the trend-following traders. The policy path on paper, but the market has already reacted long ago... A bit of a late realization. Bitcoin's movement dictates how the mainstream coins follow; the minutes are just a cover-up, haha. Instead of waiting for the minutes, it's more practical to watch the liquidity situation closely.

3 a.m. and you're not sleeping just to watch this? Honestly, I'm tired of the Fed's tricks; in the end, it's always good news for the crypto market haha. Internal fighting within the Federal Reserve—watching them tear each other apart—whether hawkish or dovish, it all ends up pushing crypto prices higher. Pausing rate cuts sounds pretty scary, but for Bitcoin and ETH, it's actually a stabilizer. Having expectations is better than nothing. I'll definitely be asleep at 3 a.m., and I'll see how much the price has risen when I wake up in the morning. These people hold meetings all day just to say "maybe no rate cut," which isn't very innovative. Watching on-chain data is still more reliable.

Wake up at 3 a.m. to look at the notes? Or just check the next day's K-line to see what they say—it's all just hype anyway.

Staying up at 3 a.m. watching the notes on the screen—that's our life... Instead of guessing, it's better to wait for the documents to speak. Anyway, no matter how Bitcoin moves, someone will say it's right.
