BNB and XRP are both closely tracking the footsteps of U.S. dollar policy.
Federal Reserve Board member Milan made a statement today that by 2026, interest rates need to be cut by about 150 basis points to boost employment. The U.S. Treasury Secretary is also urging the Fed to act faster. As expectations for rate cuts heat up, the market was once optimistic, but only 86.2% of people believe the Federal Reserve will hold steady in January. President Trump has already finalized the candidate for the next Fed Chair.
Once this news broke, the crypto market immediately became active. Bitcoin and Ethereum, which had been plunging yesterday due to poor economic data, quickly reversed—BTC retook the $90,000 level, and ETH also rose back above $3,100. It sounds impressive, but honestly, this rebound mainly relies on policy expectations; the foundation is still somewhat fragile.
The key moment is tonight—U.S. December non-farm employment data will be released. This data will directly determine how the market views the Fed's rate cut pace and is very likely to trigger significant volatility. The current mainstream expectation is that rates will remain unchanged in January, so investors are advised to stay cautious, avoid chasing the market, and wait until the data is out.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is in this game of chess, and the Federal Reserve holds the cards. Let's just wait and get hit.
Non-farm payroll data is the timed bomb tonight. I don't believe at all in a rebound from a weak foundation.
We agreed to hold steady in January, but then Trump made a statement that completely overturned that.
Those chasing the rally will have to cut their losses. I'm looking forward to the show this time.
The Fed Chair is changing, and the new one may not be reliable. Better to wait and see.
The policy expectation is not sustainable; sooner or later, it will have to be paid back.
86.2% of people think it will stay unchanged? Then the remaining 13.8% are up to something.
Once BTC breaks 90,000, it will start to surge. Expect it to fall back to just over 80,000.

It's another round of policy expectation speculation, but the foundation is very weak. Tonight's non-farm payroll data will be the real test.

It's the same old story with the Federal Reserve—cutting interest rates, cutting interest rates. And what’s the result? The rebound is all fake, and once the non-farm payrolls are released tonight, it’s probably going to crash again.

Still speculating on interest rate cuts... Non-farm payroll data might prove us wrong again.

Another rebound based on expectations, the foundation is indeed weak, tonight's non-farm payroll data will be the real test.
