# #FedHoldsRateButDividesDeepen

6.26K

On April 30, the Fed held rates at 3.50%-3.75% for the third consecutive meeting. However, the 8-4 vote marked the deepest internal divide since 1992. Three regional presidents opposed keeping an easing bias in the statement, while one governor supported an immediate rate cut. As Middle East tensions keep oil prices elevated, the Fed acknowledged that inflation remains high, with energy as a key driver. Markets are now repricing the risk of "higher for longer" — or even a potential rate hike — putting risk assets under renewed pressure.

4.30 Morning Analysis 1. Bearish momentum takes off, riding the trend to profit without fighting against it
Family! Did last night’s market directly break the bulls’ defenses? BTC has now fallen 0.79%, breaking below 750, and the bears are taking off straight away. Follow the trend, don’t go against the market.
Originally, Bitcoin was declining steadily, and once it broke below 760, it had little resistance left. Then, when the Federal Reserve decision came out, it added a buff to the bearish sentiment. Bitcoin instantly dropped below 750, with the lowest hitting 748 before barely holding. The

4.30 Morning Big Cake (BTC) Analysis
This cycle has shown a pattern of sharp rise and pullback → deep V-shaped repair → narrow-range oscillation structure. Currently, it is in the recovery phase after a decline; no clear trend direction has emerged yet. We need to wait for the market to provide more definite guidance.

The Federal Reserve held steady as expected, and “Wash” passed the review right on the line—short positions are paying off nicely! 4.30 Bitcoin Auntie’s thought process
The Federal Reserve kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% as scheduled, holding for the third consecutive meeting, in line with market expectations. Wash also smoothly cleared the U.S. Senate Banking Committee’s review, taking another step closer to officially taking office as the Federal Reserve Chair. A “blonde” wrote on social media that Powell wants to stay at the Fed because he can’t find a job elsewher

There’s simply not enough news in the market to boost the coin price, so you can stick with the main strategy of maintaining the rebound and focusing on shorting! May Day is right around the corner—these past few days shorting has been very rewarding, so you can enjoy a great holiday!

The Federal Reserve Chairman Powell announced no rate cuts, keeping interest rates steady between 3.5% and 3.75%, but the more stimulating news is that the probability of a rate hike has increased. What does this mean? I originally thought there would be a red envelope giveaway, but not only did that not happen, it might even cause you to pay money. What's really going on? The reason for discussing a rate hike is definitely because inflation is quite serious. At the end of last year, Powell even boasted that as long as the U.S. government stopped randomly imposing tariffs, inflation could be r

#美联储政策与利率决策 The recent market trends have really been unpredictable. ETF inflows have indeed provided some support for Bitcoin, but the strength of this support doesn’t seem robust enough. On-chain data shows there is still considerable pressure, with one-third of the Bitcoin supply still at a loss—this is not an easy situation.
From a trading strategy perspective, now might be a good time to build positions in batches. Long-term holders and institutions are selectively increasing their holdings, while short-term holders are selling. Such divergence often breeds opportunity. However, caution

#美联储政策与利率决策 The recent market trends are truly exciting! The influx of ETF funds has provided strong support for Bitcoin, demonstrating institutional investors' confidence in cryptocurrency. Although there may be some short-term volatility, this is undoubtedly an important step toward mass adoption. While the direction of the Federal Reserve's policy remains uncertain, the future of decentralized finance is still bright no matter what. Now is a great time to delve deeper into the Web3 ecosystem—consider starting with DeFi and DAOs to explore this new world full of infinite possibilities! Let'

#美联储政策与利率决策 This message makes me reflect on how investors should respond to the current market environment. ETF inflows have indeed provided some support for Bitcoin, but there is still uncertainty in the market. I recommend that everyone remain calm and rational, focusing on long-term value rather than short-term fluctuations. It is important to allocate assets reasonably and control positions—do not blindly chase highs or panic sell. At the same time, closely monitor the Federal Reserve’s policy moves, as they have a significant impact on overall market trends. There will inevitably be ups

#美联储政策与利率决策 Follow developments regarding the selection of the Federal Reserve Chair and track on-chain capital flows. Hassett becoming a leading candidate implies that Fed policy may lean more toward rate cuts. This will affect market liquidity and crypto asset prices. It is recommended to closely monitor official announcements and the moves of major on-chain players to assess the potential impact of policy changes on the market. At the same time, be wary of uncertainties in the news and maintain good risk management.

#美联储政策与利率决策 Seeing these optimistic predictions from Wall Street institutions about the US stock market in 2026, I can't help but reflect. This kind of long-term bullish sentiment feels familiar, as if we've returned to the frenzied bull market of the crypto space in previous years. But history tells us that excessive optimism is often a precursor to risk.
Although the AI boom is indeed reshaping the economy, we can't ignore the potential risks. Inflation may rebound, and the Fed's rate-cutting policy is uncertain. These factors could all trigger market volatility.
