Interest rates, to put it simply, are a thermometer for how willing everyone is to take risks.
When interest rates are high and cash earns interest, more people prefer to sit back and earn some guaranteed returns, so on-chain speculative positions tend to shrink a bit;
When interest rate expectations loosen, risk appetite returns, and you start to see big players gradually move their chips back, and trading activity picks up.
