#密码资产动态追踪 The Federal Reserve's sudden release of the 2026 interest rate cut plan (expected 150 basis points) appears on the surface to be a policy roadmap, but in reality, it resembles a "game of uncertainty" in the financial markets. The core issue is—internal divisions within the central bank have reached their highest level since 2019, with hawks and doves clashing openly (there were three dissenting votes at the December meeting alone).
**Who will benefit from a rate cut?**
Tech stocks are the immediate beneficiaries. The "Big Seven" tech giants achieved an 18.4% earnings growth in Q3 2025. Although their valuations are high, profits support them, and once rate cut expectations materialize, there is still room for valuation reconfiguration for these companies. Also, don't forget gold—historical data repeatedly shows that during rate cut cycles, gold almost never misses an upward move.
**But the traps are also obvious.**
The Fed is caught in a "triangle trap": it must maintain employment, control inflation, and preserve its independence. This means policies could reverse at any time. More painfully, if a rate cut coincides with an economic recession, historical data indicates that the stock market typically declines over the following 12 months.
**So what should you do now?**
It depends on whether you're a "gambler" or a "cautious investor." Early positioning requires accepting policy swings but could capture valuation recovery benefits; waiting for the official rate cut to start and for a soft landing confirmation offers higher safety but risks missing out. The key is to understand how much volatility you can endure and how long your capital lock-in period is—that determines which path you should choose.

Is the Fed internal conflict this serious? It looks to me like a psychological warfare game...

The Fed's recent move is really a bit surreal. With such internal disagreements, do they really have the nerve to propose a 150bp plan? It truly feels like a scene of cutting rates with the left hand and raising rates with the right hand, haha.

The Federal Reserve's hand is really clever. The promised 150 basis points now seem like magic... The hawkish and dovish stances are fighting fiercely, and investors caught in the middle are really just a blind box.
I went all in on gold. History doesn't lie, and this rate cut cycle means gold can't escape.
Honestly, entering now is a gamble. Who knows what the economy will be like next year? There might be a reversal again.
The 18.4% growth in tech stocks can definitely be sustained, but with such high valuations, dare I add more? I don't have that courage.
Wait, does anyone know who cast the three dissenting votes at the Federal Reserve? Seems like there might be some clues.
If the rate cut really happens, I need to double my holdings. If not, I might have to cut losses. It's so exciting.

The Fed's move is really impressive—one hand preparing a plan, the other voting against it. This is a classic case of tug-of-war between the left and right.
Whether to bet on tech stocks or gold, honestly, it's a bet that the Federal Reserve won't self-destruct... but the odds are a bit uncertain.
Anyway, I'll wait for a soft landing confirmation before taking action. Missing out is better than being trapped.

With such serious internal divisions at the Federal Reserve, the credibility of the rate cut plan is in question.

The Fed's internal conflicts are so serious, I'm really a bit panicked haha
Wait, can gold stay stable this time? Feels like the risk is still quite high
Technology stocks now, it takes some courage to get in at these valuations

Hawkish 3 votes against? The internal conflict within the Federal Reserve feels more intense than market volatility.

The Federal Reserve's triangle trap, to put it simply, is that they can't afford to offend anyone.
---
Is gold about to take off again? Does history really work that way?
---
Can the 18.4% growth of the seven tech giants hold up? Why do I find it so hard to believe?
---
A combination of rate cuts + recession double whammy—who can withstand this combo?
---
Still the same old story, no one knows when the Federal Reserve will change its tune. Should we bet or wait? So annoying.
---
Three votes against—what do you call that, unanimity? It's a internal conflict.
---
Heartbreaking, rate cuts might still end up trapping investors.
---
Getting in early and facing a crash, waiting to miss out—is there no third way in between?
