Recession Trade Overrides Rate-Cut Hopes: Where Do U.S. Equities and Crypto Go Next?
August non-farm payrolls badly missed expectations, pushing the market-implied probability of a September Fed cut to 100 %.

The global fiscal easing cycle has begun, and Trump's geopolitical maneuvering has laid a solid foundation for financial deregulation and sustained risk appetite within the dollar system.
1/ ETH Outperforms as Risk Appetite Returns
Following our May outlook, continued risk-on sentiment has driven prices higher, with ETH delivering significant alpha and becoming the market's hottest topic.
Despite short-term speculative rotations, our long-term view on ETH remains unchanged—ETF staking, mid-cycle rate cuts, and panic buying remain key milestones to watch.
2/ BTC Absorbs Massive Selling Pressure with Remarkable Stability
Bitcoin faced over $10B in new selling pressure in July, yet its realized volatility stayed below 10%, demonstrating extraordinary holder conviction around $120K.
Such supply shocks only reshape the cycle’s structure—not its direction—reinforcing Bitcoin’s resilience as a macro asset.
3/ Global Liquidity Wave Supports Crypto’s Next Leg Up
Trump’s policies are accelerating financial deregulation and risk-taking, creating fertile ground for crypto’s next surge.
The market is now in the mid-to-late stages of repricing rate cuts and risk appetite, making short-term technical trading a low-EV game.
July saw a return to the low-volatility, grind-higher regime familiar in recent years, with momentum concentrated in event-driven plays like Meta and ETH. Notably:
Macro Drivers:
Trump’s dominance has subdued global dissent (outside major powers) and forced even Fed hawks into dovish postures.
Dollar institutions are aggressively rebuilding positions, reviving "American exceptionalism" narratives.
Regulatory Tailwinds:
Financial deregulation (e.g., stablecoin laws, on-chain finance expansions) and leverage easing are fueling institutional adoption.
Market Structure:
Trading volumes surged (up 56% MoM to $161B/day), but this is now a neutral factor—demand must be scrutinized beyond surface-level hype.
For RMB markets, our late-2024 thesis is playing out: tech (chips/AI) and inflation-sensitive commodities (chemicals/rare metals) are the clearest opportunities.
As liquidity cycles peak, the focus shifts to spotting the next inflection point. While short-term noise abounds, the path remains clear:
ETH: Await ETF staking approvals and the "panic bid" phase post-rate cuts.
BTC: Structural supply tightness persists—any dip near $75K is a buying opportunity.
Global Macro: Watch for divergences between Fed rhetoric and market euphoria, which could signal a tactical exit window.
Amid the churn of momentum and fading "old crypto" hands, we remain focused on the dollar cycle’s next top. Ride the wave—and have fun.

Disclaimer: Market risks persist; positions should align with macro liquidity trends.
