The Federal Reserve needs to be more aggressive with rate cuts. Getting below the 3% mark as soon as possible could be a game-changer for market sentiment and capital flows. When rates stay elevated, it keeps money locked up in low-risk instruments and drains liquidity from risk assets. A faster cutting cycle would shift that dynamic—freeing up capital that could flow into alternative investments and supporting broader market recovery. The question isn't whether cuts are coming, but whether the Fed will act with sufficient urgency.

What exactly is the Federal Reserve dithering about? They should have cut interest rates long ago. Staying stuck above 3% like this really makes people uncomfortable.

If Powell doesn't cut interest rates again, I'll angrily smash the Federal Reserve door

If the Federal Reserve doesn't cut interest rates soon, I'm going to sell my house. Below 3% is the signal to build positions. Sticking to stablecoins now is really costing me dearly.

Wait, will the Federal Reserve really buy into this rhetoric... It just feels like a gamble.

The Federal Reserve needs to step up its game; staying below 3% can really change the situation.

According to research, this linear liquidity assumption actually has logical flaws. From a technical perspective, the transmission mechanism between interest rates and risk asset allocation is not a linear relationship—during the rate hike cycle in 2022, a large amount of data showed that even low interest rates do not necessarily drive capital into high-risk assets; the key is the change in risk appetite. It is worth noting that the Fed's decision-making pace often lags behind market expectations, so the argument of "urgency" itself is somewhat idealized.

The Federal Reserve keeps dithering and dragging its feet. The 3% threshold should have been broken long ago. What are they waiting for now?

Fed really needs to take action this time, or all the money will be dead in government bonds. That's the key.

The Federal Reserve really needs to step up its efforts. If they keep dragging on, funds will be stuck in bonds to the point of suffocation.

The Federal Reserve needs to step up its efforts; only below 3% can the market truly be revitalized... Otherwise, funds will all be stuck in government bonds, how can alt investments thrive?
