The Federal Reserve is getting serious this time—pushing the rate cut to the maximum of 100 basis points. The logic behind it is clear: to ease the burden of homeownership dreams for young people and to give the entire economic system a strong boost. Market analysts even predict that this move could push the US GDP growth rate above 6%.

Honestly, this level of easing policy shift has directly changed the rules of the game for risk assets. The recent performance of such assets already hints at this—funds are re-evaluating growth expectations.

The key question is: can this round of rate cuts truly achieve the economic recovery predicted by experts? Or is it just a short-term market sentiment repair? The asset allocation of ordinary investors, housing prices, and even the subsequent performance of the crypto market are all tied to this decision.

What do you think about this rate cut? Do you believe it will bring genuine growth momentum, or is it just short-term stimulus? Share your thoughts.

ETH-1.3%

BNB-0.67%

XRP-1.38%

yo hold up... 100bps at once? that's sus as hell ngl. let me pull the data real quick—pattern analysis suggests this screams desperation move, not organic recovery. fed's basically saying "we broke something" without admitting it fr fr.

Cutting 100 basis points all at once, honestly it's still about rescuing the market. Don't take the 6% GDP figure seriously, just listen to it.

A 100 basis point cut, can it really save housing prices? I’m skeptical... As for the rate cut cycle, the tricks are all the same. Short-term emotions feel good, but in the long run, it still depends on whether the real economy is buying it. ETH has surged fiercely this time, but I always feel there will be a correction later. Don’t get too excited, everyone. The Federal Reserve’s confidence booster... probably just for the stock market. Retail investors might not even get a sip of the soup. GDP aiming for 6%? Just forget about it. Reaching 3% would be good enough. Basically, it’s just giving time. Has the underlying logic really changed? That’s the key. Asset allocation really needs to be diversified; you can’t go all-in on any one direction. The old trick of cutting rates again to rescue the market—when will we finally break out of this cycle?

100bp suddenly cut, this time the Federal Reserve is really panicking... By the way, the 6% GDP figure is just for listening; how many times has the historical liquidity release actually materialized? Housing prices feel the most heartbreaking; young people have no chance to get on the ladder. On the other hand, the recent surge in the crypto market is truly validating market expectations, with ETH being re-priced. Basically, it's a game of musical chairs—see who can escape... If you really believe in an economic recovery, I’ll just say haha.

100 basis points directly pushed to the max? Why do I feel like this is just giving the market a sedative? What happens after they wake up? As for interest rate cuts, it looks good on paper, but who knows if it will actually be implemented... People still can't afford to buy houses, and the rising crypto prices aren't necessarily due to good policies. I believe in short-term euphoria, but long-term recovery? We'll have to wait and see. Where is the true growth driver? That's the real question. Waking up to another GDP dream of 6% is just wishful thinking; once awake, it's 0%. This "boost the confidence" trick has been played too many times. Capital flows are just so-so; once the hype passes, everyone runs. If this wave really hits bottom, then we might have a chance, but I can't bet on that probability.

100bp directly maxed out, it sounds great but I chickened out... Can this wave really save housing prices or are we about to get cut again? --- GDP 6%? That's a joke. I've seen this trick from the Federal Reserve many times, and in the end, it just ends in failure. --- XRP is up again. Are these rate cuts real this time? Feels like everyone's just speculating on expectations. --- The young people's dream of buying a house haha. Housing prices can't be fixed by rate cuts, unless they directly give out money. --- Short-term stimulus, anyway, the recent rise in the crypto market won't last long. Be cautious of the bagholder mentality. --- BNB has shown some signs of activity these days, but I still don't believe it can last. --- Honestly, it all comes down to liquidity. Rate cuts are just flooding the market; where the money flows is the key. --- Real growth? Wake up. These days, there's no such thing as real growth. --- Asset allocation is really difficult now. Houses or cryptocurrencies? My head is about to explode. --- How many booster shots has the Fed given? Every time they say this time is different... Forget it, I don't believe it anymore.
