Today, the market once again played out a classic scene—the rate cut expectations materialized, and the coin prices instead plummeted. BTC dropped directly to $89,389, ETH retreated to $3,167, BNB also couldn't hold up and fell to $861, and SOL even returned to $129.

The Federal Reserve's Powell is playing a good Tai Chi: he neither rules out no rate cut nor rules out small or even large cuts. In the end, they actually cut by 25 basis points, but then the Bank of Japan turned around and raised interest rates, which directly offset the impact. The market is so surreal.

On-chain activity is quite lively. Tesla announced a collaboration with prefab housing company BOXABL, causing related concept tokens to surge to a market cap of $3 million, up to 87 times. There was also a KOL with 260,000 followers who was hacked for $60,000, and the community crowdfunded to issue a POM token for relief, reaching a peak market cap of $800,000, a 20x increase.

The Meme track didn't stay idle either. On BNB Chain, a penguin-themed BudgyBenguin appeared, reaching a peak market cap of $600,000, a 7x increase; there's also a coin called CALVIN, the "conspiracy mascot," which surged to a high of $1.8 million in market cap, with 32x gains making many people envious.

Recently, Binance's Yiyi has been very active, saying they will airdrop to people in their friend circle who lost money, then quickly questioning the long-term value of Meme coins. This attitude change is quite rapid.

BTC5.2%

ETH7.62%

BNB5.3%

SOL11.27%

Powell's taiji moves, and we retail investors just have to pay the bill --- Cutting interest rates instead crashes the market? That logic is truly astonishing, I just can't understand --- Once again, the shoe drops and the price plummets, this script needs to be rewritten --- He Yi's gameplay is interesting, airdrops for emergency relief, then mocking Meme, really skilled --- I didn't get in on the 87x BOXABL concept coin, as always, I missed it perfectly --- POM crowdfunding to save KOLs? This community cohesion is indeed something --- The Japanese Central Bank's rate hike directly offsets the Federal Reserve's rate cut, the market is truly playing a game of undercover operations --- Meme coins 32x make people envious, but the bagholders have already been decided --- BTC drops to 89K, I just want to know which brother bought the dip --- Tesla concept coin hits 87x, whether this wave of IQ tax is worth it depends on you

Lowering interest rates is usually good news, but instead it caused a sell-off, indicating that the big players have already run away, and we are the last to hold the bag. 87 times, 87 times, just listen. Those who get in early are already trapped. Don’t be blinded by these numbers. He Yi’s tactics are impressive. First, cut a wave of Meme, then pretend to be compassionate with an airdrop to stabilize sentiment. Binance’s combination punch is really slick. Has this round broken the support level? Can someone give a technical analysis? I feel like it hasn’t bottomed out yet. The project team of POM clearly jumped on the bandwagon. The hacker incident has ironically become a promotional tool—this thought process deserves a full score. Japan’s rate hike immediately caused a market panic. When the macro environment isn’t stable, they still want to stabilize expectations. BTC is feeling interesting at this price level, but I advise you not to rush in yet. This is a typical move by the big players to shake out weak hands.

Interest rate cuts should have been good for the crypto price, but instead it caused a sell-off... This is the first lesson the market has taught me. These numbers like 87x, 32x look pretty impressive, but does anyone not know who is taking the bag? He Yi is right; meme coins are a long-term joke. When there's a rebound, you should run, don't wait for the next black swan to bury you.
