The September core PCE data is out, dropping from 2.9% to 2.8%. Don’t underestimate this 0.1 percentage point—this is the Fed’s most important inflation indicator, and now the winds have shifted.

The window for rate cuts is opening. History shows: every time the Fed starts to inject liquidity, hot money floods the market searching for high-yield assets. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other leading crypto assets are always prime targets for this capital hunt. Once liquidity loosens, can you guess which way prices will go?

But this time, there’s a bizarre twist: due to the previous government shutdown, key economic data releases have all been delayed. The Fed will meet next week and will have to make decisions based on outdated data. It’s like driving blindfolded on the highway and still having to decide whether to hit the gas.

What does the market fear most? Not bad news, but uncertainty. Right now, the biggest fog is the Fed itself. This is often when big money quietly positions itself and prices swing wildly.

A few truths:

Don’t panic over short-term volatility. The market will definitely act crazy before and after the meeting—hold your core positions tight and don’t get shaken out.

Keep some ammo ready for opportunities. If panic hits the market due to any news, buy in batches. There’s usually one last dip before the bull run begins.

Keep an eye on the rate-cut narrative sectors. Once expectations strengthen, it’s not just BTC—those altcoins that are liquidity-sensitive and have real ecosystems may take off.

When others hesitate in the data fog, that’s your chance to pull ahead. In investing, the early birds eat meat, the latecomers get the soup, and the clueless pay the bill. As the Fed gropes through the fog, you need to light that lamp in your own understanding.
