The head of the U.S. Treasury is making waves on the economic front—pushing for the central bank to take a more aggressive stance on rate cuts. With inflation showing signs of cooling and economic headwinds mounting, officials are weighing in on whether tighter monetary policy is still the move. This kind of shift in fiscal-monetary coordination matters big time for digital asset markets. When rate expectations flip, capital flows tend to follow, creating ripple effects across trading desks and liquidity pools. Keep an eye on how policy signals like these shape investor sentiment and market conditions in the weeks ahead.

Coming back to this? As soon as the interest rate cut expectation emerges, the retail investors start to zone out. History shows us that every policy shift is when the most bagholders are involved. Let's wait and see, the rebound is the selling point.

With the expectation of interest rate cuts, the crypto world is about to take off... or plummet, who knows

Once the interest rate cut cycle starts, liquidity begins to flood the market, and arbitrage opportunities are instantly eliminated. I've backtested this kind of scenario before; the probability of history repeating itself is about 67%, but I still went all-in.

With the expectation of interest rate cuts emerging, it's time to start a new round of hype again. Do the retail investors really believe this?

The US Treasury Secretary is once again hinting at this time urging the central bank to cut interest rates... Based on my analysis, the underlying logic is that inflation hasn't fully settled yet, but the economy is already starting to feel the pain, a dilemma indeed. What's truly interesting is—once interest rate expectations change, those smart money investors immediately have to rebalance their portfolios. On-chain wallet addresses should be frantically transferring funds right now; I need to check what the big players are stockpiling.

Here we go again? As soon as the interest rate cut expectation appears, the retail investors start fantasizing. I've been through that wave in 2017... And what was the result? A policy signal shift that directly led to a sell-off.
