The Fed chair clarified an important point about rate decisions: the central bank's monetary policy moves are grounded in actual economic data and projections, not influenced by political considerations or external pressure. This distinction matters for understanding why certain policy decisions get made, especially when public expectations might diverge from what the data suggests. For crypto investors, grasping how traditional financial institutions approach policy decisions helps contextualize market movements and longer-term trend shifts.

Damn, are you using this again? The central bank says data-driven, but I just want to ask, who believes it?

The Fed Chair's usual rhetoric is the same every time—data-driven policy? Haha... Why not talk about how this round of rate hikes came about?

Bro, stop talking nonsense. Data? Investment? I only listen to what the Fed says about coins and they just drop. What's the point of talking about objectivity?

Well, to put it simply, data rules everything, and politics can't be trusted.

Here we go again with this? Data speaks for itself, unaffected by politics... Just listen, after all, in the end, it all depends on the market's mood.

According to research, the key here lies in the distinction between data-driven approaches and political games—The Federal Reserve's statements sound impressive, but the problem is that data itself has interpretative space, right? From a technical perspective, the crypto market's response to interest rate decisions often lags behind traditional financial markets by two to three cycles, and the underlying logic warrants in-depth analysis. Data shows that before and after several major policy shifts in history, on-chain and off-chain fund flows exhibited obvious asynchronous phenomena—citing a 2023 research report from Glassnode, this phenomenon indeed requires more attention.
