#美联储重启降息步伐 $BTC Tonight at 11 PM, the Fed’s most important Core PCE data will be released—this is basically the final answer on whether there will be a rate cut in December.



Why is it so crucial? Because this is the main benchmark the Fed uses to target 2% inflation. It’s been above target for 55 consecutive months, and the markets can barely wait— the dollar has weakened in advance, the 10-year Treasury yield has dropped below 4%, and 87% of traders are betting on a rate cut. This long-awaited inflation data is the final missing piece before the Fed makes its decision.

The market is betting on two scenarios:
▪️ Data meets or is below expectations (Core PCE around 2.9%): Then a 25-basis-point rate cut is pretty much locked in. Once the liquidity expectation materializes, the year-end rally in US stocks could continue, and crypto assets may have a chance to break out of their current consolidation range.
▪️ Data surprises to the upside (inflation remains stubbornly high): Then policy expectations will have to be recalibrated, the market will turn quickly, risk-off sentiment will rise in the short term, and crypto will also come under pressure.

$ETH Tonight’s data is about much more than just market ups and downs. It will determine where global capital flows next—stocks, forex, crypto—everything depends on how the Fed reacts to this “policy signal.”

Simply put, PCE is the master switch for the year-end market: it will either turn on “liquidity mode” for a money-fueled rally, or keep markets “consolidating at the bottom” to endure the winter. Right now, all the waiting is about timing this wave of capital flows just right.

87% of traders are betting on a rate cut. Those odds seem a bit shaky—feels like there's even a sign of an upset coming tonight. --- If the PCE doesn't exceed expectations, I'm going all in. It's already been above target for 55 months anyway—what's meant to happen will happen. --- Waited so long just to see this data? Just open the market already, what's with all the stalling? --- The Fed really knows how to pull these moves. It's not like data failing at a critical moment hasn't happened before. --- No matter how nice they make it sound, it doesn't change the fact that the crypto market still follows the US stock market's lead. Independent movement? Wishful thinking. --- If the rate cut is confirmed tonight, my coins can finally come back to life. This choppy range has almost worn out my patience. --- Flood of capital? Feels more like a capital trap. As soon as the money-printing mode kicks in, it's harvest time for retail again. --- 55 consecutive months above target and still no rate cut—now we have to wait until the end of this year for a chance. This pace is unreal.

Damn, it's this PCE again. Feels like we're waiting for this data every single day. 87% of traders are betting on a rate cut. That probability seems kind of crazy... Usually, that's when things tend to go the opposite way. Or maybe tonight they'll really start printing money and get the crypto world hyped? But I think the chances of a surprise upset are higher, haha.

Alright, alright, it's another "we'll know the outcome tonight" story. This routine is getting old, haha. If the PCE doesn't exceed expectations, we'll celebrate; if it does, we'll have to tough it out again. Feels like we're always betting on some data... By the way, 87% of traders are betting on a rate cut, so the remaining 13% are real risk-takers.

Wait, it's PCE and rate cuts again? This is basically a casino. 87% of traders are betting on one direction? Maybe I'll try going the opposite way.

ngl, that 55-month streak is statistically concerning... let me pull up my spreadsheet on this. the whole "87% of traders betting on cuts" thing screams herd mentality to me. data suggests otherwise usually happens right after these consensus moments, tbh.

This is hilarious, 87% of traders are betting on a rate cut, so I guess the remaining 13% of us are really tough. Once the PCE comes out, it’s either a big celebration or eating dirt. I’ve already prepared two sets of explanations just in case. What are we waiting for after 55 months of exceeding the target? This inflation is tougher than the roots of chives. Where’s the promised liquidity? My wallet is starving. Waiting for this data feels like the nerve-racking last all-in at the casino. Yet another "market-defining" critical moment—why does it feel like we’ve had eighty of these this month alone? If there’s a surprise tonight, the crypto space will probably be back to the "long-term survival game of choppy bottoms." It really is a global "multiple-choice question" for capital, and us retail investors can only tag along for the ride.
