Interesting take from the Bank of England's Megan Greene today. She's basically saying the job market isn't cooling down enough yet for her to support cutting rates again.
This matters because central bank policy directly impacts risk assets. Tighter labor markets mean wage pressure, which keeps inflation stubborn—and that means rates stay higher for longer. Not exactly the environment where traditional finance gets comfortable pumping money into crypto.
Greene's stance suggests the BoE might hold firm on rates even as other central banks pivot. For anyone watching global liquidity flows, this is worth tracking. When major economies keep rates elevated, it constrains the capital available for speculative plays across all markets, digital assets included.
The labor data she's watching will likely dictate the next move. Until employment softens and inflation truly cools, don't expect policy relief anytime soon.

Ha, here it comes again, the Central Bank is going to hold on tight... I mentioned this situation three years ago, history always repeats itself. The job market won't cool down, and the interest rate won't drop, this logic is sound, but we also have to admit that the days of tight liquidity are actually a good time for accumulation.

The interest rate hike cycle is not over yet, this wave of market movement really requires patience to wait...

If the pound continues to be this strong, the Liquidity will really be drained... Just wait to see when the employment data will compromise.

Interest rate hikes are here to stay, and now the credit crunch is really coming... Don't expect liquidity to improve in the short term.

Liquidity is locked, which is not friendly to us.

My sister is right, the interest rate hike cycle isn't over yet, and the crypto world is about to face a freeze.

This trap again? If the interest rate doesn't drop, liquidity will be stuck, and our funding will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Damn, the Bank of England is still tough, liquidity is going to tighten.
