The Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cut decision has once again become the focus of the market. According to the latest movements of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), 10 out of 12 members support a 25 basis point cut in January, which is undoubtedly an important signal of a bullish market outlook.
From a macro perspective, the rate cut policy directly changes the cost of funds and liquidity conditions. When borrowing costs decrease, overall market liquidity is enhanced, and investors tend to seek higher-yield assets for allocation. In this context, cryptocurrencies led by Bitcoin often attract market attention.
Why does Bitcoin benefit? A rate-cut environment typically weakens the purchasing power of traditional fiat currencies, prompting investors to shift toward safe-haven assets. Due to its scarcity and decentralization features, Bitcoin is long regarded as "digital gold." During periods of loose liquidity, its allocation appeal significantly increases. Meanwhile, other mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and ZEC are also driven by rising risk appetite.
The market has already begun to digest this policy change. Global funds are reassessing the role of crypto assets in investment portfolios, and it is expected that in the coming months, the combined effect of loose monetary policy may create new upward momentum for the market. For traders, this is an important window to observe market trends and adjust strategies.

Interest rate cuts are here again, is this really the moment to take off? Why do I feel like I say this every time...
Wait, this time with 10 votes in support, it does feel a bit different, like it's really happening.
Bitcoin is once again playing the "digital gold" routine, which is old news... but on the other hand, loose liquidity is indeed very attractive.
However, I still want to see how things develop later, hopefully it won't be a repeat of the past.
It would be good if ETH can catch the ride, don't fall behind, brothers.
The easing cycle has arrived, is it time to rebalance your portfolio, everyone?
This time, I want to see if it can break new highs, and not just a fleeting rebound.

Here we go again with the saying that lowering interest rates can make prices rise? That's a joke, right?
