This morning, Trump was up to his old tricks again. This time he announced a plan to spend $200 billion on mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which immediately stirred up the market. ETH's reaction at the time was one word—crazy. After some back-and-forth, it’s still hovering around $3,110. Many are debating: is this the start of a new rebound, or are we about to get trapped again?



First, let’s talk about what’s happening on the policy front. The candidate for Federal Reserve Chair is becoming clearer. Trump didn’t say it directly, but he dropped a hint that "the decision has been made," prompting the market to start speculating—most likely, they’ll choose someone "easy to work with." Once this expectation emerged, the probability of rate cuts was again heated up.

More importantly, this $200 billion MBS purchase plan. On the surface, it’s aimed at the housing loan market, trying to lower mortgage rates. But you understand the market—once the government starts pumping money, risk asset sentiment tends to rise. Cryptocurrencies also caught some heat—liquidity expectations improve, and money naturally flows into risk assets.

The current question is, how long can this move last? The details of policy implementation and how the Fed will respond afterward—these uncertainties could keep the market volatile. In the short term, the news is definitely bullish, but volatility will likely increase as well. To hit the right timing precisely, experience is truly essential.

200 billion poured in again, and expectations of interest rate cuts. This wave of liquidity really has some substance... But how many are really willing to bottom fish? --- The recent tug-of-war with ETH feels like the real bomb is the Federal Reserve Chair's decision. --- Government spending = risk assets going wild, I believe in this logic... The question is, when will they hit the brakes? --- As for MBS purchases, instead of worrying about whether it's a rebound or getting caught, it's better to see how the Federal Reserve follows up. --- Short-term positive news is positive, but this volatility can drive people crazy... Inexperienced traders might start cutting losses again. --- Trump's move either sparks a new bull market or is the final madness, with gamblers' mentality growing stronger. --- ETH hovering around 3110 feels like it's still testing... The real highlight will be the Fed's next move.

It's Trump again, and more liquidity injections. This routine is getting really old. Once again seeing 3110, it feels like we're rubbing against it repeatedly here... 200 billion MBS? Basically, it's just printing more money. We should open some champagne. Can this wave really last? I feel like it's just another prelude to a new wave of cutting the leeks. When the rate cut expectations heat up, risk assets get excited. The cycle is still so simple. People with no experience are entering now, waiting to be taught a lesson. Policy details haven't even been released yet, and you're betting now? That's a bit too optimistic. MBS suppresses mortgage rates, but in the end, it's still the institutions that benefit cheaply, retail investors just follow along with their bags.

Is it just Trump's usual trick again, just easing liquidity? We'll only realize the pain when the balance sheet starts to shrink. Wait, starting to worry at 3110? I think it needs to fall even more for a real opportunity. I'm already tired of the liquidity hype; the key is the Federal Reserve chairperson choice, that’s where the uncertainty lies. They keep shouting about a rebound as if it's really happening. I'll just watch you all get trapped. How long can MBS purchases support the market? Half a year? A year? Anyway, I don't believe this wave can last long. Policy uncertainties are numerous. Precise timing? I don't think anyone can get it right, so I might as well wait for a pullback. Is the rate cut fueling the rally? Haha, this might be the last bubble this time.

⚠️ CRITICAL: this whole MBS pump reeks of liquidity honeypot. seen this pattern 47 times already. ETH volatility spike? classic MEV exploit setup waiting to happen. not financial advice but... DYOR before touching anything tbh.

$200 billion poured in, is this really the darkness before dawn or just another signal of a harvest? Oh wait, what I care about most right now is how much longer ETH will keep struggling... Both Trump and the Federal Reserve, this script is so cliché, let's just see who can hold out till the end. Liquidity improvement sounds good, but I bet five bucks that by the afternoon it will be a different story. We don't understand MBS or anything like that, we just know that when the government releases money, it's time to buy the dip, right? Everyone holding now is betting that 3110 is the bottom, but I think it's questionable... This is the toughest test of character; true HODL or panicked selling, the difference is in this very moment. Every time Trump says the decision is final, the market starts to self-hypnotize, it's hilarious. Increased volatility? Brother, that's a test for conservative investors; for us, it's just a daily harvest. Expectations of rate cuts + government stimulus = crypto taking off? Okay, I believe it, but I’ll reduce my holdings first.

With the liquidity expectation combined, can this wave of ETH break through 3200? Feels like we're going to get cut again.

It's the same old trick, put in money → coins rise → I get cut, cycle repeats Trump opens his mouth and the market goes crazy, ETH's recent movement is truly torturous Expectations of rate cuts, this thing—it's called a positive signal in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it's just a prelude to new tricks MBS, rate cuts, liquidity... basically, it's a gamble on whether the Federal Reserve will continue to be "easy to talk to" next The 3110 level is really uncertain, feels like being pulled back and forth at a poker table Big funds are betting on policies, retail investors are still debating whether to chase, the gap is obvious Policy things, the most feared are detail changes, which could lead to chaos again Short-term positive, but what about long-term? That's the real question People with no experience jumping in now will probably pay tuition fees Starting to look at analyses from major influencers again, just waiting to see who gets proven wrong first

It's the same trick again—when they flood the market, it's always to manipulate the coin prices. Wake up, everyone.
