Something very surreal has recently happened—after the US Q3 GDP data was released, instead of boosting the market, stocks plummeted. Even more interestingly, Trump immediately came out and called for continued rate cuts, putting inflation issues on the back burner.
The logic behind this is actually quite twisted. Normally, good economic data should mean the Federal Reserve doesn't need to rush to loosen policy. But what the market fears isn't that—it's the fear of "no more easing." When the economy performs strongly, the Fed has more reason to maintain high interest rates, and that's the real source of market fear.
More importantly, this GDP growth is based on the "annualized quarter-over-quarter" calculation method, which is very likely to be revised later. But regardless of how the numbers are ultimately adjusted, market sentiment has already shifted: everyone is recalculating liquidity expectations, and these expectations are being reshaped by political factors.
A chain reaction immediately became apparent. The RMB exchange rate approached psychological thresholds, gold and copper prices hit new highs collectively, and volatility in crypto assets suddenly increased. This indicates that the re-pricing of risk assets is underway.
Interestingly, Trump's logic is breaking traditional rules: the better the economy, the more rate cuts are needed. If this "political logic" begins to override "economic logic," the future market script will be completely rewritten—liquidity will no longer follow data, but will start following narratives, even the election cycle.
In other words, when "money printing expectations" become the main driving force of the market again, a new cycle may be starting. In this round of market movements, it doesn't matter whether things make sense or not; the key is to keep up with the narrative.
The printing cycle has started, and technical analysis is just a passing cloud.
Focus on the narrative, not the data.
Political logic is crushing economic logic, and this is the new game rule.
Cryptocurrency volatility is normal to amplify; risk assets are being re-priced, and that's how it goes.
The movements in the RMB exchange rate, gold and copper reaching new highs, have long been hinting that liquidity will loosen.
GDP data, whether revised or not, doesn't matter; the market only trusts the expectation of interest rate cuts.
This cycle truly cannot be explained by traditional economics; it is purely driven by political cycles.
After that huge loss, I realized that political logic > economic logic. This blow was bound to come sooner or later.
The recent volatility in crypto is quite fierce. Experienced traders advise not to go all-in now. Wait until the narrative becomes clearer before jumping in.
Following the narrative is the right move; everything else is noise.
Really, now everything is dominated by political cycles, and data has become just a backdrop.
Liquidity expectations have been rewritten. We crypto players have long been used to this; high volatility is the opportunity.
Basically, it's about who can tell the story better, not about economic fundamentals.
GDP figures will be revised sooner or later. The market has already reacted, and I regret not getting in earlier.
The RMB, gold, and cryptocurrencies are all moving; this is the real signal of re-pricing.
The era where political logic outweighs economic logic is truly magical.
Regardless of right or wrong, following the money-printing narrative is the way to go. I understand that now.
Trump's move directly rewrote the market rules; traditional investors need to relearn.
Political narratives overshadow fundamentals, this is the new rule.
Once the expectation of money printing appears, technical analysis takes a backseat.
Following the narrative, I like this kind of chaos.
The key is the timing of the bottom-fishing, everyone.
The story of liquidity always makes more money than data.
Everyone thinks the same, right? Otherwise, how to explain gold soaring all the way?
Market driven by political cycles, is the spring of Web3 coming?
Crazy, but very logical... terrifying.
Once the expectation of money printing rises, all assets will be re-priced.
This is really a big show, just follow the rhythm.
How do you see the RMB this time? Is it about to break through the threshold?
I bet Trump's "political logic" will win over economic logic.
The market doesn't care about your reasoning, as long as money keeps printing.
Volatility surges are the easiest to profit from, I’ve been bullish on this wave for a long time.
