Bitcoin still hasn't broken through the $90,000 mark and is currently oscillating around $88,000. To be honest, when liquidity is so poor, holding this position isn't too bad.

Today's big event is the release of the Federal Reserve meeting minutes. After a careful review, the consensus among Federal Reserve officials is: the contribution of tariffs to rising inflation is quite significant. What's more disheartening is that they believe inflation will be difficult to return to the 2% target level in the short term. What does this mean? It means the pace of interest rate cuts may need to slow down, and the market liquidity environment will remain tight in the short term. For the crypto market, such changes in policy expectations often directly impact funding and risk appetite.

It’s been stuck at 88,000 for so long, I’m almost falling asleep. Can we stop messing around? The Fed really knows how to stir things up. Blaming tariffs for inflation, keeping interest rates low and dovish—retail investors are just waiting to be chopped up. Liquidity is tight, huh? That makes it even harder to break through. It’s a bit annoying. If interest rate cuts are nowhere in sight, how do we play this short-term market? Capital has all damn run away. 90,000 is forever next year. I bet five bucks on it. After reading the minutes, I know this rebound needs to take a break. Inflation can’t get back to 2%, huh? Then we’ll just endure it slowly. Anyway, I don’t mind these few months. The most annoying thing is tariffs. The global economy is all looking for a scapegoat, and Bitcoin has to pay the price. With such a terrible liquidity environment, 88,000 is probably the limit. No more rate cuts, the crypto world can only rely on faith to hold up. Who still believes in this? As soon as the Fed minutes come out, I knew there wouldn’t be good news. Does anyone still really think it’s bullish?

88000 holding steady is not bad, at least it didn't drop back down The Fed's move directly cut off our breathing room Interest rate cuts are still a distant hope, we still have to endure the short term Tariffs really screwed up inflation, no wonder the crypto world is suffering so much Oh my, if liquidity tightens further, even small investors will be forced out Feels like we're entering a waiting mode again, frustrating Why is the 90,000 level so hard to break? Once policy expectations change, funds will run away, same old story

88k holding steady is okay, but I'm worried about a sudden break through Cutting interest rates is still a distant hope; liquidity tightening is the real headache The Federal Reserve really knows how to cause trouble, tariffs are the confirmed scapegoat Still hoping for rate cut benefits? Dream on, don’t count on it in the short term Days of liquidity exhaustion are like this, bouncing around with no real point The Fed’s latest move is quite desperate, with a hard landing for inflation in the works $90,000 seems to be a fate, always stuck at this level

88,000 repeatedly tested, such market conditions are actually quite good; poor liquidity is just like this. The Federal Reserve really doesn't want to cut interest rates; the combination of tariffs and inflation has tightened liquidity more and more. In the short term, crypto still has to endure. The 90,000 level probably has to wait until policy conditions ease before it can be broken. No need to rush now.

88k holding steady is considered a win, really don't overthink it --- The Fed's recent actions mean liquidity will still be tight in the short term, let's just wait and see --- Rising tariffs increase inflation, lowering interest rates cools things down, these days in the crypto world are tough --- The 90k level hasn't been broken and is still oscillating, indicating the bulls aren't that strong, let's watch further --- Inflation can't return to 2%? Then rate cuts are far off, short-term tight liquidity is indeed not friendly to crypto --- When liquidity is poor, it actually indicates that the bottom is still stable, don't panic --- The Fed is causing trouble again, this persistent inflation is really annoying
