Readers like a cycle because it promises a shape. Rates go up, something breaks, rates come down. The last forty years contain versions of that shape and versions that refuse it. The early-1980s funds rate was in double digits. December 2008 brought a target range of 0 to 0.25 percent. The 2022 hiking cycle started from near zero. Those are published regimes, not a template.
A committee decision is a document with a date and a vote. The next document is not implied by the last one. People who say the cycle 'has to' finish in a certain way are selling the shape. The shape is a summary of the past. It is not an instruction.
