This week is absolutely critical! The Fed's interest rate decision is about to be announced, and Powell will be holding a press conference—will there be a 25 basis point cut? Will rates stay unchanged? Will there be direct balance sheet expansion? Or even a 50 basis point cut? Even more outrageous, what if they turn around and hike rates next year? Anything could happen.

It's not just the Fed—central bank data from Australia, the UK, and Canada will be released in quick succession, and a bunch of Fed officials are set to give speeches... The global markets are likely to explode.

My take? Expectations may have already been priced in. In the short term, Bitcoin might see a sharp pump and then a quick dump, with the whole of December likely being a choppy, downward grind... Everyone should be mentally prepared.

The calls for interest rate cuts are so loud that they've been fully understood already. Now, the biggest fear is that Powell might cause an unexpected surprise. This round of market movement, to put it simply, is about guessing Powell’s intentions. If you guess right, you make money; if you guess wrong, you lose everything. December is a stressful time; staying calm is more important than ever. Once expectations are fulfilled, there's nothing left, which is the most frightening part. It feels like the market is now just betting on the central bank's rhetoric—whoever understands it the best will make money.

Uh, it's this set again, as soon as Powell opened his mouth, I knew it had to fall The expectation has long been figured out, and the suspense is still here, it's really funny The market in December is torturous, so be prepared to be beaten Interest rate cuts and interest rate hikes are all covers, and the key depends on how Powell's face speaks Pulling and falling, this routine is boring... It's true

Another big show—whatever Powell says can make the crypto market tremble. All expectations have been priced in, so next week we might just be watching the drama unfold. This round feels like the script is already written; pumping first and then dumping is the usual play. Get ready to be ground down in December—there’s no escaping it anyway. Central banks are all rolling out major moves, so retail investors should just lay low and keep their heads down this week.

The pump and dump trick is old now. Get ready to cut your losses in December. --- As soon as Powell speaks, the coin price plunges. It’s always like this. --- All expectations are priced in? Doesn’t that mean there’s no surprises left? Go to bed early, everyone. --- The central banks are acting together, and retail investors are left holding the bag. I’ve seen this script a hundred times. --- Rates go up or down and it still drops. Even if nothing happens, it drops. That’s what you call “winning big,” right? --- What about the promised balance sheet expansion? In the end, we’re getting dumped on again. --- A short-term pump followed by a dump—this is just the market maker’s shakeout routine. Who’s still falling for it? --- I bet five bucks Powell will say something ambiguous and everyone will guess wrong.

Haha, it's the same old trick again—pump and dump. I've seen right through it ages ago. --- If Powell pulls another stunt, the crypto market will go crazy. --- Honestly, all the expectations have already been priced in early, now everything just feels empty. --- Grinding through December is perfect for bottom fishing and stocking up; whoever panics loses. --- Central banks taking turns to speak? From what you're saying, it feels like we'll be watching their faces all December. --- Just settle for a steady range, stop dreaming about any big pumps. --- Gotta be prepared for this round, feels like the volatility will be intense.

Damn, we're about to get rekt by Powell again, huh? The expectations have already been priced in, this round is just waiting to cut retail investors. December is all about constant shakeouts, I'm betting $50 that Bitcoin will drop. Fed this, Powell that, so sick of this whole process. Short-term pumps are just a smokescreen, in the end it'll still dump—way too familiar with this routine. Sounds like another fake-out, it's frustrating. Is it for real? Feels like every time we predict this, it ends up going the other way. Instead of stressing over the interest rate, might as well just watch Powell's face and see what he says. Grinding down with volatility, that's right—I'm just waiting to buy the dip. These central bank officials just keep blabbering on, but in the end, the market still listens to them.

Whether it goes up or down, I still lose—that’s just the fate of playing crypto, haha. --- As soon as Powell started talking, I knew the market would dump. Time to go all in on the opposite move. --- Don’t even think about making money in December, just expect choppy sideways action. --- It’s always the same with central bank decisions—everyone prices in the expectations early, and then we get happy for nothing. --- Bunching all the data releases together is wild. All the global central banks are making moves at once; retail investors can only lie down and take it. --- I’m tired of this pump-then-dump routine. The crypto world is just stuck at this level. --- Rate hikes next year? Then what should I be hoarding now? Better run fast. --- I’ll bet five bucks the Fed’s move will crash the market—anyone with me? --- Prepare myself mentally? My mental defenses broke a long time ago. Might as well save money and wait for the end. --- Australia, Canada, and the UK all joining in—looks like they’re out to fleece retail investors worldwide.
