The Federal Reserve, in their infinite wisdom, has decided to stop draining money from the economy. And yet, Bitcoin is still below $100,000. Groundbreaking stuff, right? 🤡

Crypto investors are pinning their hopes on this move, probably because they ran out of other excuses. “Liquidity inflows!” they shout, as if money is just going to magically materialize like a genie in a crypto bottle. 🧙♂️✨

They froze their balance sheet at $6.57 trillion, which sounds impressive until you realize it’s still less than my imaginary friend’s net worth. The real magic trick? Stopping the “quantitative tightening” circus. 🎪

Ending QT means the Fed is finally admitting they’ve tightened financial conditions enough to make a college student feel broke. But hey, at least they’re not draining $2.3 trillion anymore! Progress, I guess. 🤷♂️

In 2019, when they did this, Bitcoin magically jumped from $3k to $29k. Maybe it was the moon landing, maybe it was a miracle. Who knows? But now, in 2024, we’re stuck with a market that’s up 7.2% in 24 hours but still looks like it’s waiting for directions. 🤔
