#美联储重启降息步伐 $ETH The recent trend has been rather tangled, and sharp surges or drops are unlikely in the short term. It's highly probable that the price will continue to fluctuate within the 3250 to 3098 range. With insufficient liquidity over the weekend, it's unlikely there will be any significant moves.



The real variable lies in next week's rate cut meeting on the 11th, and there are three key points to watch:

Whether the rate cut will meet market expectations. If it does, the short-term buildup of bullish and bearish divergence will basically be resolved; if it's below expectations or if rates remain unchanged, market sentiment could collapse instantly.

The post-meeting statement is even more critical than the decision itself. Whenever Powell speaks and uses vague terms like "uncertainty" or "data-dependent," the market tends to react negatively. Especially since there was a rate cut in January and now three consecutive cuts, the fourth move is bound to be more conservative.

Institutions have already factored this in. If rate cut expectations are unstable, smart money will withdraw early or stay on the sidelines, waiting for policy clarity before entering. Retail investors, reacting more slowly, might end up holding the bag.

Technically, ETH's 15-minute chart is still holding above the moving average, and the hourly structure is clearly bullish. If there's a short-term pullback to around 3100, it could actually be a good buying opportunity at a low, but it ultimately depends on real-time market performance.

I get nervous every time Powell opens his mouth—this guy can really talk the market in the opposite direction.

As soon as Powell starts talking, I know things are going to go downhill, and this time is probably no exception.

Powell's mouth is really something else—every time he digs a hole for the market. --- Everyone's annoyed by the range-bound grinding, just waiting for the decisive hammer on the 11th. --- Retail investors are always half a beat behind, that's the basic rule. --- If it really drops to around 3100, I'll buy in, betting that Powell delivers this time. --- I'm sick of hearing "data-dependent"—give us a new catchphrase already. --- Institutions have already exited, and we're still here waiting for policy clarity. --- Bullish structures are useless; what's important is what the meeting says. Fake prosperity is the most annoying. --- Feels like the rate cut expectations will fall through this time, got a bad feeling about a sentiment crash. --- Thinking about buying the dip at 3100 is wishful thinking—if it breaks straight through, I'll cry. --- Weekend liquidity is just for show; the real action starts next week.

If Powell starts being ambiguous again, our bet is in jeopardy. Institutions are all waiting for clear policies—retail investors are always left holding the bag. Keep a close watch around the 11th; if expectations aren’t met, a crash isn’t out of the question. I want to buy the dip near 3100, but I can’t shake the feeling there’s a trap. Instead of grinding it out in the range, it might be better to wait until the rate cut is confirmed.

As soon as Powell opens his mouth, I know it’s going to drop. Institutions have already run, but we’re still hesitating. That decisive hammer on the 11th—I can’t afford to gamble. Can 3100 really be the bottom? I’ll just wait and see. Retail investors are always the bag holders, always one step too slow, haha.

Powell's mouth is really something else; every time he keeps the market hanging. --- I've seen through this range-bound grinding for a while now. The key is still to wait for the meeting on the 11th. --- Retail investors are always the last to know; talking about it just brings tears. --- That 3100 level is really tempting, but I still want to wait for the speech before making a move. --- Fourth consecutive rate cut? Powell will definitely throw out a bunch of "data-dependent" excuses. So annoying. --- Institutions have already exited while we're still dithering here. That's the fate of retail investors. --- No matter how good the technicals look, a single policy statement can override everything. Still have to watch the rate cut meeting. --- Don't touch your spare cash over the weekend; wait until the 11th for the outcome. --- The probability of an emotional crash is pretty high; the risk of unmet expectations is real. --- Instead of studying the technicals, you'd be better off analyzing what Powell is going to say, haha.

Powell is about to start printing money again, pay attention everyone. Let's wait until the 11th to talk, betting now is just giving away money. Retail bag holders are about to take the stage again. Bottom fishing around 3100? I'll wait and see. Institutions have all left, and we're still here. If it's below expectations, the market will crash. I bet 0.5. It's so annoying to keep consolidating in this range. When will it finally take off? Powell's words are worth more than his actions. The smart money has already left. Time to wake up, everyone.
