Stop sleeping! At 3 a.m. tonight, the Federal Reserve will make a statement, and the two-month "pretend to be dead" market in the crypto world is waiting for this shake!

The answer everyone has been waiting for is finally coming. Why have Bitcoin and Ethereum been "lying flat" in the 85,000-95,000 range for almost two months? To put it simply, the whole market has been waiting for a clear stance from the Federal Reserve. The December meeting minutes are more critical than any before because they will reveal the truth—seeing how aggressively officials are discussing inflation and the economy.
In my personal opinion, this set of minutes is likely to be "not good." Regardless of how many times they cut rates before, there are currently two camps within the Fed: one worried about inflation returning and unwilling to cut again; the other seeing rising unemployment and eager to loosen policy. Moreover, there are rumors that the minutes will lean hawkish, emphasizing that interest rates might still need to be tightened further. This will definitely put short-term pressure on the crypto market.
Here are two key points about the market impact and your trading strategy:
Short-term bearish, but don’t panic. Once the hawkish signals appear and the dollar rises, risk assets will shake. If Bitcoin falls below the critical support zone of 83,821 - 86,284, it might test 80,641. Those with high leverage should be especially cautious tonight.
The long-term "golden pit" might be coming. Why did whales transfer nearly half the coins to exchanges in December? Because they are waiting for this opportunity too. If the market panics and crashes due to the minutes, it could be a good chance for you to buy in batches at lower prices. Focus on altcoins with real ecosystems and practical applications.
Don’t just watch the excitement tonight. The market has been pretending to be dead for two months, just waiting for a direction. After the announcement, whether it’s a real or fake drop, the trend will become clear. Want to know the specific key levels to watch and which altcoin sectors might rebound first?
