Huobi HTX 0-interest lending and low-fee activities help users easily make profits.

At 2 a.m. on September 18, the Fed announced a 25 basis point rate cut, bringing it to between 4.00% and 4.25%. This is the Fed's first rate cut since December 2024.

The Horn of Rate Cuts Sounds, the Crypto Market Responds

HTX Research analyst Chloe (@ChloeTalk1) believes that Fed Chairman Powell's dovish remarks have boosted sentiment for risk assets. On September 18, Bitcoin and Ethereum rose slightly first, followed by a rotation of funds into altcoins. As of 14:00 on September 19, SOL broke through the $250 mark, with the daily trading volume of decentralized exchanges rising to $2.5 billion; BNB broke through the $1,000 mark, and the total locked value on the BSC chain increased by nearly 10% this week; HTX climbed to its highest level since January this year, reaching $0.000002664.

Although the market was boosted by dovish statements in the short term, the rate cut was lower than market expectations. After the news broke, some funds chose to cash in on gains, and the market may lean towards "selling the news." However, the rate cut constitutes a substantial positive for the medium to long-term trend of the cryptocurrency market. Even if the rate cut falls short of expectations, the overall policy remains in a loose direction, especially after Powell's speech early that morning, where various institutions reached a consensus on the Fed's rate cut in October. Therefore, the trend of declining funding costs has not changed, and the logic of improving market liquidity and rising risk appetite still holds. Bitcoin's anti-inflation and safe-haven narrative, as well as the trend of institutions gradually increasing their allocations, will not be reversed by a single rate cut that is lower than expected.

However, Chloe also reminded that although the market generally expects the easing cycle to continue within the year, the Fed emphasizes that future actions depend on employment and inflation data, and core inflation remains above the target range. This tone implies that there is still uncertainty in policy, which is conducive to the continued rebound of digital assets in the short term, but if inflation rebounds or employment suddenly deteriorates, it may lead to a "sell the news" market.

Four Major Welfare Activities, Master the Night Before the Bull Market

The market's enthusiasm and capital activity have significantly increased, how to seize structural opportunities amidst the volatility has become the core focus of investors. On one hand, the interest rate cut cycle is expected to drive the crypto market into a new round of valuation repair; on the other hand, improved liquidity and the rotation of funds across sectors will make the importance of diversified tools such as contracts, spot trading, and wealth management even more prominent.
