I was stunned by a piece of news this morning - "Powell might resign." Although mainstream media has not officially announced it yet, it has already been a hot topic on overseas social media, with some people seriously analyzing potential successors.

What does this have to do with the crypto market? To put it bluntly, with Powell at the helm of the Federal Reserve, his every move directly influences the direction of dollar policy. What do mainstream crypto assets like Bitcoin fear the most? It's policy uncertainty. Once the wind changes, market sentiment immediately goes on a roller coaster. More subtly, Trump said in the morning that "a nominee will be announced soon"; this doesn't sound like it came out of nowhere.

What should ordinary investors do now? First, don’t panic. Before the news is confirmed, the worst thing to do is to operate blindly. Remember two principles: first, don’t chase highs and sell lows; making moves before an official announcement can lead to taking losses; second, hold on to your core assets; short-term fluctuations do not represent long-term value. If there is going to be a change, at least wait for an official statement to come out before reacting.

My personal opinion? Regardless of who takes over, the underlying logic of cryptocurrency will not collapse just because a different person is in charge. However, in the short term, market sentiment fluctuations are almost inevitable. What is most needed at this time is not to predict the future, but to maintain a steady mindset, closely monitor the authoritative channels for solid news, and not be swayed by various "little essays."

This week may not be very calm, but panic will only make you a leek waiting to be cut. When the wind is strong, standing firm is more important than running wildly. Observing the changes calmly is the real wisdom.
