What is happening in crypto?
Since October 10th, crypto markets are now down -50%, erasing $2.2 TRILLION worth of market cap.
Bitcoin has officially erased ALL of its post-election rally, now down -10% since Trump's election.
Why is it crashing? Let us explain.
(a thread)
Double disinflation. Gets the network to tail inflation in half the time.
The last time an inflation reduction proposal went up on Solana it was probably one of the biggest votes in crypto history.
Solana Governance is getting an upgrade soon too. Fun times.
🚨 Powell’s press conference just dropped and the message is clear:
The Fed cut rates by 25bps today. That was expected.
What really matters is Powell’s tone after:
➡️ Inflation: He admitted prices have ticked up again, mainly from goods and tariffs.
But he also said long term expectations still line up with the Fed’s 2% target.
Short-term noise, long term control.
➡️ Growth & Jobs: Powell basically said the labor market isn’t solid anymore.
Job gains are slowing, consumer spending is cooling, GDP growth is moderating.
The Fed is finally acknowledging weakness in the economy.
➡️ Tariffs: They’re lifting inflation now and likely into next year.
But Powell called the effect short lived.
➡️ Policy: No appetite for a 50bps cut. Today’s move was a risk management cut.
Powell said they don’t need to rush, but the door is open for more easing if data weakens further.
🟢 Big Picture
The first cut is always cautious.
That’s how every cycle starts.
Inflation is still around, but growth and jobs are slowing and that forces the Fed’s hand over time.
Short term = choppy.
Long term = more cuts, more liquidity, more bullish.
And when liquidity flows, crypto is always first in line to benefit.

Let me explain the spaghetti and how I use it to trade $ALTS.
This chart shows the return of certain alts during the selected period (i.e. from the far left).
For the time period selected, Fartcoin would have given you the best return.
GM GM GM, with all the #FUD around $Sol on the implications of pumpfun launching their own token, how would you trade this chart? #Crypto#SolanaMemeCoins
