At this moment, I am not a trader; let me vent my emotions while holding the identity of a 'retail investor'.

Last night, the interest rate was lowered by 25 basis points, a result that met market expectations. This rate cut was already digested by the market in advance. Although it only boosted Bitcoin, at least the subsequent pullback will be gentler, which aligns with what everyone had in mind.

Who would have thought that Powell's speech would directly trigger an emotional pullback? It caused a major collapse, leaving everyone confused and completely disrupting expectations. The expected pullback would at least have a rebound, right? After the pullback, it would be the best time to escape from long positions. Less time holding positions, rebound to escape, control losses.

Now, it's good; let's hang a few words from Powell on the tree like a monkey, because after Trump took office in January, he is preparing for retirement. Is this the old man's last speech? So with a hawkish statement, both the crypto circle and Wall Street are left standing there taking hits.

The hostility towards the crypto circle may also stem from Trump's second term. Can't beat you, so I disgust you? As far as I know, Powell was appointed by Trump during his first term, but during Trump's first term, he repeatedly proposed rate hikes, and Trump even tried to fire him. Perhaps their first conflict was established back then.

So why does he have such animosity towards the crypto circle? I think it has to do with Trump's second term. When Trump won the election recently, it was a major boost for the crypto market. I still remember when a reporter mentioned that Trump wanted him to step down, his response was: 'The law does not allow for the dismissal of the Federal Reserve Chair!' Now he seizes the opportunity to directly disgust the market; who knows, he might be publicly saying that the Federal Reserve does not allow cryptocurrencies while secretly picking up his buddies' bloodied tokens.

As a trader, one should not mix personal emotions into it. You can feel market emotions, but you cannot let market emotions influence you. In the crypto market, there is only one relationship, which is the supply and demand relationship. A token needs recognition and demand to have appreciation potential. Whether it is a VC token or a meme token does not matter much. Even if it is a VC token, without demand and recognition, it has no value.

Today, waking up feeling like being hung on a tree is not pleasant; everyone needs to vent. Here, I want to ask if anyone has a good friend in the United States to sanction that reporter who asked the question?
