Essentially, when it comes to trading stocks or crypto, the rise is just setting up for a better fall, and the fall is setting up for a better rise. Rate hikes won’t cause a continuous drop, and rate cuts won’t cause a continuous rise. You can compare the trend during the rate hike cycle from 2022.3.19 to 2023.7.26. This rate hike cycle will be shorter. In fact, after the hike on 9.16 this year, it’s highly likely the Fed will hold steady, and rate cuts might start next year. Honestly, monetary policy is gradually losing its effectiveness, and the Fed is just scrambling to manage things right now. If the market ultimately confirms there will only be one hike, the trading structure might look like this: during the rate hike expectation phase, there’s an initial dip → after the FOMC decision, continued volatility → once it’s confirmed there won’t be further hikes, risk assets will start pricing in the next round of rate cuts early. @BITstocks_CN Buy U.S. stocks on BIT, with 10,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs, real holdings, and dividend payouts.
