The Federal Reserve's policy direction has always been a focus of attention in the crypto circle. Recently, Trump issued strong words, planning to announce a new Federal Reserve Chair candidate in January next year. The current Chair, Powell, will step down in May 2026.

Since the beginning of this year, Trump has been putting pressure on the Federal Reserve—either to cut interest rates to stimulate the economy or to help the government reduce financing costs. However, Powell's actions have not been as fast as Trump expected, which has led him to publicly express dissatisfaction multiple times, even directly calling for Powell to resign voluntarily.

Behind this policy game is the market's expectation of future liquidity. Once the rate-cut cycle begins, it is generally good news for risk assets. Crypto players are now waiting to see whether the next Federal Reserve Chair will be more hawkish or dovish.

Powell really held his ground; no matter how aggressively Trump pressured, he remained unmoved. --- Regarding rate cut expectations, it seems the crypto world is betting that the new chair will be more dovish. --- In simple terms, it's about whether the new chair next year can truly loosen policy; otherwise, it's all just tricks. --- The pressure from Trump on the Federal Reserve is no longer news... The key is how Powell's successor will play it. --- Liquidity expectations are uncertain; currently, entering the market is all about gambling. --- Wait, if the new chair is more dovish... how much positive leverage will we need to eat? --- Policy game-playing ultimately comes down to money; rate cuts mean easing, and risk assets naturally take off. --- With Powell stepping down, the crypto circle has probably already started planning for the new situation. --- The Trump vs. Fed scenario is even more exciting than the market... haha. --- We'll see the outcome in January next year; by then, the crypto market might need to reprice again.

lol classic greater fool theory — everyone's betting on whoever sits in that chair like it actually matters. actually if you read the fed's balance sheet mechanics, the real liquidity play started months ago. called this exact pump pattern back in september but sure, let's all pretend january's gonna be some magic reset button

Is Bankrupt DouDou in such a hurry? The new chairman won't be announced until next year. Let's see how Powell plays his hand first.

Powell is being forced to cut interest rates, and now with a new chairman coming in, it will be even more aggressive. Cryptos are about to take off, feels like this wave has a chance.
