The money printer—shuts down quickly, but restarts even faster.

Latest news confirmed: $3 billion injected directly into the market, and the Fed’s balance sheet is starting to reverse course. Just a few days ago, they were talking about ending quantitative tightening, and now the liquidity tap has been turned back on. This isn’t some tentative move—it’s a clear signal to the market: it’s time to change direction.

The timing is interesting, too. Ethereum just completed another round of technical upgrades, making the network run faster and driving gas fees down. On one hand, money is getting looser; on the other, technological bottlenecks are being broken. Looking back at the start of the previous cycle, the script is almost identical: first, loosen up liquidity, then wait for on-chain infrastructure to catch up. Both of these conditions are falling into place right now.

A few key signals:
- The Fed’s balance sheet is expanding again
- Ethereum network efficiency jumps over 30%
- Market sentiment is switching rapidly from fear to greed

In every liquidity injection cycle, the first assets to sense the change are always those extremely sensitive to liquidity. Crypto assets are highly volatile and respond quickly. Many altcoins are still grinding at the bottom, but capital is already moving quietly behind the scenes. By the time everyone is calling for a bull market, the entry cost will be nowhere near today’s prices.

Where do you think this wave of capital will flow first?
Will BTC continue to lead, ETH follow close behind, or will some low-key, dormant altcoin suddenly take off?
