How deep is the bond market in the ABS area, deep enough for dip buyers to step in and take the paper at a given price or will they all play musical chairs and try to step out of the way of the falling safes?

It's a very inside-baseball phenomenon that the online armchair crowd can only guess at.

Lowering rates does seem like the usual path taken in situations like this when we are faced with a major credit crunch. But here is what I don't get. If rates are lowered there is a good chance prices will continue to climb. The dollar will most likely plummet. So we will be left with higher prices and a devalued currency. How exactly does that help?
