The latest developments in Federal Reserve policy have once again become the market's focus. Based on recent speeches, the new key figure at the Fed has sent a quite hawkish signal—wanting to cut rates but not in a hurry.

This viewpoint was publicly expressed at this year's Management School Summit. The implication is clear: rate cuts won't happen overnight.

Looking ahead, rate cuts in 2026 are indeed possible, but the pace will entirely depend on the data. This presents both an opportunity and a test for the market—the uncertainty of policy often tests people's patience. Truly, one wave after another.

Here we go again with this? The Fed loves to keep us guessing; a rate cut is nowhere in sight. I can't wait that long with my position.

Hawkish as it is, but this pace really wears me out... Looks like I have to keep lying flat and wait for news.

Here we go again with the "Want to lower but not in a hurry" act, it's really frustrating.

The Federal Reserve is once again Schrödinger's rate cut. Isn't this just leaving suspense for arbitrage opportunities? Uncertainty = gold in the mempool. A data-driven rhythm actually makes it easier to predict on-chain price differences.

The Fed's game of "want to cut but not in a hurry" is really clever. They still want to look at data in 2026. So aren't we just gambling now?

It's the same story again, no rush to cut interest rates, watch the data, and talk about it in 2026. I'm getting calluses on my ears from hearing it.

The Fed's trick of "wanting to cut but not rushing" has long been exposed. It's nothing more than delaying when the data is good and shifting blame when the data is bad. Talking about 2026 now is just nonsense.
