1. FOMC Cuts Rates by 25bps — Exactly the Signal the Market Wanted

Early this morning (U.S. December 10 evening), the Federal Reserve delivered a 0.25% rate cut, marking the third consecutive reduction.
The policy rate now sits at 3.50–3.75%, signaling a supportive environment for liquidity and risk assets.

✔ Immediate Market Impact

• Higher liquidity → stronger risk appetite
• BTC and ETH benefit the most
• Volatility across global markets is easing

However, Chair Powell emphasized that

“With inflation persisting, the pace of cuts in 2026 is likely to slow.”

In other words: a short-term rally is possible, but not a runaway bull market — which is exactly why this is the right time to realign your positions.

2. Why This Is the Right Moment to Rebalance (Macro · Labor · Inflation)

🔸 Inflation

• CPI at 3.0%, slightly above August’s 2.9%
• PCE at 2.8%, still above the 2% target

Higher inflation supports crypto as a hedge,
but also limits the magnitude of any immediate rally.

🔸 Labor Market

• NFP slowed to +119k
• ADP employment missed expectations sharply
  → Labor market cooling supports rate cuts,
  → But rising unemployment risk increases volatility for crypto assets

🔸 U.S. Equity Market

• S&P 500 +0.2%, Nasdaq +0.3%
  → A mild “relief rally,” but with YTD gains of 16%,
  valuations remain stretched.

Bottom line:

📌 “Short-term upside is alive, but we are not in a new super-cycle yet.”

This is exactly why a portfolio reset makes sense now.

3. Current Crypto Market Structure: BTC Steady, Alts Beginning to Rebound

• BTC surged past $94k, then stabilized in the $92k–94k range
• ETH and major altcoins are attempting early rebound patterns
• Total crypto market cap remains stable despite volatility

Rate-cut effects are gradually filtering into the space,
but Powell’s signal of a slower 2026 easing path suggests

👉 a range-bound market until early 2026.

4. Saturday, December 13 — The 5 Key Steps to Rebuild Your Crypto Portfolio

Weekends are ideal for portfolio work — fewer headlines, clearer thinking, predictable flows.

Below is my institutional framework (I use a XX%/XX%/XX% structure).

1) Reallocate Core Positions: Reinforce the BTC/ETH Safety Net

Model portfolio structure:

• BTC: XX–XX%
• ETH: XX–XX%
• Alts: XX–XX%
• Stables: XX%

Action Plan

• Buy BTC on dips below $92k (5–10% additional allocation)
• Avoid excessive leverage (keep it under 10%)

📌 With the Fed entering a multi-cut cycle,
BTC’s probability of breaking $100k is above 70%

2) Risk Management: Stop-Losses + Higher Cash Buffer

Even with an initial “relief rally,”
a 10–15% correction is common after FOMC weeks.

• Set 5–8% stop-losses on all positions
• Increase stablecoin allocation to XX%
• Convert XX% of total assets into cash for flexibility during dips

Action

Use a portfolio tracker (CoinMarketCap, Zerion)
and run stress-test scenarios.

3) Sector Rotation: Inflation Hedges + AI & Infrastructure First

Given the inflation uptick and labor cooling:

🔥 Favorable sectors

• Commodity/energy-linked tokens (HNT, RNDR, etc.)
• AI & data infrastructure (DOT, FIL, etc.)

⚠️ Avoid for now

• NFT / gaming tokens — highly cyclical and labor-sensitive

Action

Review 2–3 key altcoins on Saturday using on-chain dashboards.
Only keep positions with 20%+ upside potential.

4) Long-Term Strategy: Preparing for a $XXXk–$XXXk BTC Scenario

A pro-crypto Trump administration
combined with potential BTC reserve adoption
creates a long-term structural boost.

Thus:

• Keep XX%+ of your core BTC allocation in long-term HODL
• Use Korea’s long-term tax rules before the 2026 changes
• Maintain steady DCA accumulation
  → e.g., $1k per week, with next week’s target at $95k

5) Monitoring & Psychology: Control FOMO After Fed Weeks

Historically, the week after an FOMC event
shows elevated FOMO and poor decision-making.

Action

• Take a break over the weekend
• Set alerts for:
  • Powell’s follow-up remarks
  • December CPI preview (12/16)
  • ETF inflow/outflow data

📌 In my 20 years of experience, the worst mistakes happen the week after a Fed event. Keep bet sizes controlled.

🎯 Final Takeaway

This FOMC event gave crypto a green light,
but inflation and labor risks keep a yellow light flashing.

The best move now:
👉 Shift your portfolio toward “aggressive stability”
👉 Position for XX–XX% upside in H1 2026
