Last night's national address by Trump once again mixed policy promises with market expectations.
The core message is roughly as follows: In 11 months in office, he has invested 18 trillion dollars (though the actual figure might be somewhat less), and given each of the 1.45 million soldiers a Christmas gift of $1,776 — an interesting choice of number that directly points to American independence. Border controls have been tightened, the military has been reorganized, and the rhetoric carries a sense of "rebuilding America."
Regarding inflation and the economy? Trump's logic is very clear — fixing the mess left by his predecessor. If the Federal Reserve doesn't cooperate? Replace them or apply pressure. If interest rates don't fall? Cut them. If housing prices soar? Just launch a "New Year Housing Reform Surgery."
Polls show only 36% of people approve of his economic policies, but Trump doesn't care. He's betting on market reactions — starting a rate cut cycle, releasing dollar liquidity, and crypto assets soaring as a result. From Wall Street to the crypto world, this logic has been validated more than once. Fed Chair Powell is probably quietly thinking about how to balance things right now.
In simple terms: Policy expectations are pushing up the valuation of risk assets. The next phase depends on the implementation of rate cuts and liquidity release.

The expectation of interest rate cuts triggers a rally as soon as it emerges; this is a well-worn tactic in the crypto circle. The main thing to watch is whether the Federal Reserve will actually take action—talking without doing is just bluffing.

36% approval rating still dares to go lower? This guy really isn't afraid, or rather, he's not betting on polls at all. The liquidity logic has benefited from too many dividends, but will Powell really cut interest rates obediently? That's the key.

With such strong expectations of interest rate cuts, liquidity loosens and coins skyrocket? I feel like this logic can fool people three times, but by the fourth time, it will be exposed.

Uh... 36% approval rating and still dare to push it hard? This guy really isn't afraid of market backlash. Once the interest rate cut cycle breaks its promise, the crypto world will explode.
