The Fed is making big moves again this week, and even Wall Street can't be sure whether Powell will signal easing or tightening—this operation will directly affect crypto prices.

At the moment, it looks like a rate cut is almost certain this week, but Powell is stuck between hawks and doves—one side doesn't want more easing, the other hopes for another cut in January next year. So Wall Street guesses it's most likely a "hawkish rate cut"—rates go down, but the rhetoric stays tough, and they won't explicitly say they'll keep loosening next year.

Actually, this is good for crypto. No matter how cautious the Fed tries to sound, after a rate cut, money in the market always looks for a place to go, and crypto is already a hot spot for speculative capital, so funds will definitely flow in.

But don't just rush in blindly when you hear about a rate cut. The key is to watch what Powell says afterward: if his tone is soft and he hints at possible further easing, Bitcoin and Ethereum will most likely go up immediately. If he says it's just this one cut and they'll wait and see, crypto prices will probably dip first and then gradually recover—after all, money is getting cheaper, but funds will enter more slowly.

Retail investors should focus on the Fed press conference this week, especially the part where Powell talks about future policy. If you already have positions, don't make rash moves. If you're not in yet, you can place staged buy orders at lower prices, but don't go all in—volatility will definitely increase, and a drop might actually be an opportunity.

The crypto market isn't afraid of the Fed making small moves; it's only afraid of no volatility. The more hesitant they are, the more room we have to operate.
