Don’t be fooled by the word "interest rate cuts." Recently, there have been rumors everywhere that Trump’s policies will force the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. Many people, after reading the news, want to sell their houses, borrow money, and jump into the crypto world. Honestly, this mindset is very dangerous.



In the last round of interest rate cuts, Bitcoin indeed increased several times, but the current situation is completely different. Back then, the crypto market was still in its wild growth phase, with funds flowing in continuously; now, the regulatory framework has taken shape, and market participants are much more mature. Trying to replicate the explosive growth of that time is no longer on the same level of difficulty.

Most importantly—markets always price in expectations in advance. More than a year before the first half of 2026, large institutions have already been quietly positioning themselves. Why has the crypto market recently been oscillating within a narrow range? On the surface, it seems calm, but in reality, there are undercurrents. These institutions have already secured their positions; next, they will either wait for the right moment or prepare to shake out the retail investors.

For ordinary people, the current risk isn’t about not entering the market, but about chasing high during the hottest expectations. Once policy changes occur or economic data underperform, the market is likely to undergo a deep correction. By then, most people who bought in will be caught in a trap.

Interest rate cuts are not a free ATM. Blindly following the trend often results in becoming someone else’s chips.

It's the same old story. Institutions have long been lurking, and we're still just following the news and jumping on the bandwagon. The gap is truly enormous.

Institutions have already taken positions early, and we're still here debating whether to cut interest rates or not. Impressive.

Bro, your words are so clear-minded. Those people around me who believe everything they hear should really take a good look.

Haha, this article explains it thoroughly. The older brothers are still dreaming of replicating the huge surge from back then. Jumping in at the hottest moment is just handing chips to the institutions, and this logic is very simple.

Institutions have already jumped on board. If we rush in now, won't we just become the little guys?

I have seen a lot of routines of selling houses and borrowing money to rush coins, and it is like this every time, and then I am cut to pieces

That's so right. I can see clearly the rhythm of this wave of harvesting new investors. Institutions that entered early are hiding; new investors rushing in are just heading for the same fate of being harvested. The interest rate cut expectations have been driven up to this point, but the real show is just about to begin. Brothers borrowing money by selling their houses, wake up. When the time comes, you'll all be trapped. History always repeats itself, but the participants will become poorer.

Another wave of the "rate cut savior" argument, it's really getting annoying. To be honest, the institutions have already jumped on the bandwagon, and now they are rushing to offload to retail investors. We need to be more cautious. --- Instead of listening to these flashy expectations, it's better to see how many chips institutions are holding before making a move. Don't be fooled by the tricks. --- Frankly speaking, most of the current hype in the crypto world is just stepping stones for those behind. History always repeats itself, but the script is different. --- The market has already digested the rate cut news. If you enter now, you're just catching the last wave. That's common sense, everyone. --- Look carefully, narrow-range fluctuations don't mean no opportunity; it means someone is collecting chips. We must not be the last bagholders. --- What sounds good is strategic planning; what sounds bad is waiting for retail investors to chase high and get chopped. Wake up, everyone. --- Those big V influencers shouting that rate cuts are good for the crypto market, but they already sold out long ago. Why do I find it so hard to believe?

People who sell their houses to borrow money and invest in coins, just wait to get cut off, brothers.
