Why is there a false impression that a 0.50% cut is being considered?

The Fed will reduce rates by 0.25% this week, not 0.50%, despite recent media and bond market speculation suggesting otherwise.
This has been anticipated for months. Why is there such a misleading narrative from major players?
It’s unlikely they’re targeting retail investors. What’s their strategy?
Additionally, the Fed will release the dot plot showing future rate projections for the next two years, which will be the real market mover.

This post is the ultimate attestation to how the game is so pathetic and rigged.
There is a metaphorical equivalence to watching FIBA instead of, watching an actual NBA game, or just playing some basketball. Talented, smart people, are literally spending their time making tools to predict the rule-makers' next move, instead of just playing a game. We sit around wondering, "What's the angle?" on this one specific rule-maker-watcher, because it doesn't match the consensus coming from other rule-maker-watchers.
