#数字资产市场动态 The Federal Reserve has finally loosened up—Chicago Fed President Goolsby’s recent statements can be seen as giving the market a reassurance. A rate cut is definitely on the agenda this year. But don’t get too excited too early; they immediately followed up with a "but."$BNB $DUSK $GUN

Applying Goolsby’s logic, a rate cut is indeed on the table, but the pace of implementation entirely depends on data performance. Hard indicators like inflation figures and employment reports—if they still don’t look good enough—will leave the Fed unchanged. In other words, if you want to see a significant rate cut by March, those heavily invested might be disappointed.

The Fed’s stance is actually quite clear—it’s inevitable to shift, but it must be graceful and restrained. Impatience is simply not in their vocabulary. This directly dampens expectations of a quick turnaround and causes a group of aggressive traders to reassess their positions.

What does this mean for us? In the coming months, the market is likely to continue fluctuating. The strength of the dollar and US Treasury yields will swing up and down—these will keep testing traders’ patience until the Fed’s path becomes sufficiently clear.

So during this period, focus on a few key signals:

✅ The wording of the Fed’s statement at the January end—whether it signals a new attitude shift

✅ Subsequent inflation data—see if the decline is truly sustainable

✅ Geopolitical situation—whether international conflicts will push energy prices higher again

In short, the story of rate cuts will definitely continue, but how fast or slow each step is taken ultimately depends on the data. What investors need to do now is not to be scared by short-term volatility, but to keep an eye on these key data points.
