The Federal Reserve sends a new signal! Is the rate cut window opening?

Breaking news just released: Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Jefferson admitted that the current policy is in a sufficiently flexible "favorable position," allowing room for adjustments in timing and magnitude of interest rate changes.

The market reacted immediately. The phrase "favorable position" has been wildly interpreted—it's clearly paving the way for a rate cut. While the wording appears relatively conservative on the surface, everyone understands that the Fed's tough stance on tightening is softening. Under the long-term pressure of high interest rates, calls for adjustment are surging.

The key point is: the Federal Reserve now holds the initiative. Will they continue to hold steady, or seize the right moment to reverse course? Global investors are watching every detail of the wording, afraid of missing a crucial turning point. This time, the direction of monetary policy is truly about to change.

Many have been expecting a turning point for a long time, and it feels like it's really coming this time. The moment of decision is now just around the corner.

Hmm… The Federal Reserve is starting to stir again. Are they really going to cut interest rates this time, or are they just teasing us? --- The interest rate cut window is open, BTC should take off, but I still have my doubts. --- When you say "favorable position," I knew big moves were coming haha. --- Wait, are they really going to change their stance? Or is this just another smoke screen? --- Is it time to add more BTC, everyone? It really feels like things are about to change. --- I'm tired of the Fed's usual routine… Just say if you're cutting interest rates. --- This move will definitely push ETH and DASH up; history always repeats itself. --- Damn, this wording is definitely a prelude to a rate cut… Let’s add to our positions!

Really? It's the Federal Reserve again issuing tough talk, the crypto circle has been waiting for this moment every day. Interest rate cuts will have to wait another half year, don't rush to go all in. How many times have you heard the Federal Reserve's "favorable position"? Every time it's "the wolf is coming." If this wave ends up cutting the leeks again, I'll livestream eating my phone. It should have cut rates earlier; it's really a bit late to act now.

With the easing expectations announced, can BTC break new highs, or will the Federal Reserve once again disappoint?

Federal Reserve hints at a "favorable position"? Haha, just painting a rosy picture for us again. I'll add to my position when the rate cut actually happens. For now, I'm just watching and waiting.

Let's wait and see when the rate cut kicks in; for now, it's just another signal of a new round of harvesting.

Wow, a favorable position? Is this a secret code? The Federal Reserve is holding a big move, and a rate cut is definitely coming. I dare to bet on it.
