The Fed's game is escalating. There are reports that Powell may change his previous resignation plan and choose to stay on until 2028. The core contradiction behind this has become irreconcilable: on one hand, the market's ongoing expectation of rate cuts; on the other hand, the central bank must uphold its independence.

The pressure of political intervention is unprecedented. When the central bank faces pressure from all sides, the transparency of interest rate decisions will significantly decrease. History shows us that such confrontations often accompany sharp market volatility—because no one can precisely predict the next move. Uncertainty itself is a source of risk.

This not only affects traditional finance but is equally crucial for the crypto market. The Fed's policy shifts often determine the flow of major asset classes. If interest rate policies are hijacked by political factors, market judgments about future directions will become even more complex. #策略性加码BTC The volatility of mainstream cryptocurrencies like @BTC@ may further increase.

How will the next situation unfold? Who will ultimately compromise in this struggle between institutions and politics?

If Powell really stays until 2028, the crypto world will have some interesting years ahead. Politically hijacking the central bank... honestly, no one wins, and the market has to take the blame for them. Uncertainty makes trading the hardest; at this point, going all-in feels more reassuring. Let's wait and see how they dump the market later on.

Powell's move is quite ruthless; staying on until 2028 directly disrupts the game. Politically hijacking interest rate policy, now BTC is forced to go through a roller coaster. Uncertainty is the greatest certainty; the space release is coming.

Powell's reappointment until 2028? Now things get interesting, BTC will have to dance to the political tune again --- In other words, uncertainty is the most valuable, and volatility is our opportunity --- If the independence of the central bank can be hijacked, then what’s the use of interest rate cut expectations --- Instead of guessing, it’s better to hold coins through the winter and let the bullets fly for a while --- Escalating political game=crypto market gossip time, get ready for liquidation warnings, everyone --- If this guy truly stays until 2028, I think Bitcoin will go through several rollercoaster rides --- History repeats itself, so I still bet that institutional compromises will eventually lower interest rates --- Interest rate policies have been hijacked by politics, so what about transparency? Anyway, I only look at candlestick charts

The tactic of political hijacking the Federal Reserve is something we've seen before—just waiting to profit from volatility. Anyway, in times of uncertainty, the ones who always make the most money are those high-frequency traders.

Powell's move, to put it plainly, is a power game; no one can win --- Uncertainty is wildly increasing volatility; this is the real harvesting machine --- Political hijacking of monetary policy? Ha, the Federal Reserve's independence has long been a joke --- The key is that retail investors still have to take the final hit; no matter how this game is played, it's a loss --- Let's wait and see, once interest rate policies go awry, the crypto market could either skyrocket or go to zero, no one knows --- Internal conflicts within the Federal Reserve are actually an opportunity for us; both bulls and bears can profit --- Only true warriors dare to go all-in under such uncertainty

Will Powell continue to stay in office? That means politics are holding the central bank tightly. It would be suspicious if BTC doesn't rise in this wave.

Will Powell stay on until 2028? Things are getting even more chaotic, and BTC actually has a chance Political and central bank conflicts, in the end, it's still us retail investors who pay the price, it's really absurd Uncertainty is the most valuable, whether it goes up or down, the reason is the same... In times like these, it's better to go all in on BTC—either make a profit or suffer a heavy loss, no middle ground Federal Reserve independence? Don't be funny, it's all political games now Why does ETH feel forgotten? It's about to be drained by BTC again Just wait and watch the show, anyway, my positions are already in.
