The market has recently been turned upside down by two opposing forces.
Trump just announced boldly that the US economy will experience a meteoric rise by 2026—explosive employment, soaring incomes, and a comprehensive market restart. In an instant, stocks, cryptocurrencies, and risk assets all surged. Traders frantically interpreted this as a signal of a liquidity tsunami: fiscal expansion combined with strong economic growth, massive funds likely rushing into the market, and asset prices soaring—it's not a pipe dream.
But the reversal came unexpectedly.
The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in January plummeted to only 12%. The entire market was stunned—where is the promised monetary easing? Liquidity expectations instantly tightened, completely disrupting the market rhythm. The current situation is nerve-wracking: on one side, Trump is aggressively pushing forward with "economic medicine," aiming to boost asset prices; on the other side, the Fed is maintaining a hawkish stance, firmly holding back rate cuts and tightening the liquidity faucet.
These two top forces are colliding head-on. The market has fully entered a phase of intense volatility driven by news. Will liquidity suddenly turn sharply? How will asset prices move? Everyone is holding their breath, closely watching the Fed's next move.
Great market trends always hide in the expectation gap. When policy directions and market judgments diverge, opportunities and risks both amplify exponentially. Various assets within the Ethereum ecosystem are also fluctuating amid this chaos of expectations, making it crucial to continuously monitor shifts in market sentiment.

This expected gap is really incredible; sometimes the bulls are ecstatic, and other times they're crushed, my head is spinning.

Trump says rise, Federal Reserve says no rise, we are caught in the middle, indifferent to life and death.
Honestly, this situation is really frustrating. Sometimes a tsunami hits, sometimes the gates are closed tight. Who the hell can handle this rhythm?
Just waiting to see how the Federal Reserve will play their hand next week. Holding coins right now makes my heart tighten.
The expectation gap is really deadly; it can bite back.
It feels like Ethereum will continue to be trapped in this deadlock these past two days...

Whenever Trump yells "awesome," the Federal Reserve immediately chokes him. I really can't keep watching this act anymore.

This wave of expectation gap is really incredible—one moment the bulls are celebrating wildly, and the next they get slapped in the face.
