#美联储联邦公开市场委员会决议 $LRC $ZEC

The Federal Reserve has once again triggered a firestorm, and this time the internal struggle is more severe than expected. Powell forcibly pushed through a 25 basis point rate cut, which directly split the Fed into three factions—some insist on maintaining stable rates, others advocate for a larger rate cut, and a bunch of non-voting members have voiced opposition through their actions.

The facts are clear: only 4 out of 12 regional Fed banks support this rate cut, and six policymakers are firmly holding the rate in the 3.75-4% range, even the former Philadelphia Fed President has come out to say this decision is wrong. Powell claims that divergences are normal, but everyone can see that even the big brother can't keep control of the scene. We can only imagine what kind of situation the new chair will face once in office.

For the crypto world, this Fed internal conflict is actually a double-edged sword. In theory, rate cuts are bullish for risk assets, but the problem is that the policy direction is now a tangled mess—no one can be sure whether the Fed will continue easing or suddenly change course. This uncertainty will directly translate into crypto price volatility, and short-term turbulence is expected to be quite intense.

Recently, there was a big event in the initial jobless claims data, which increased by 44,000 at once. Coupled with layoffs at major companies like Pepsi and HP, it has given new arguments to rate cut supporters. In the short term, expectations for liquidity might improve a bit, but the reality is that inflation hasn't met targets, and the policy itself is wavering. Whether this support can withstand the market selling pressure is really uncertain.

What do you all think? Is this Fed chaos a short-term boon for the crypto circle, or is it merely the calm before the storm? Share your judgment in the comments.
