🔥Is the market betting on the Federal Reserve? Bank of America CEO reveals the truth—2026 might be even more intense
Currently, it's the end of 2025. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan made a candid statement on a TV program: market players are overly focused on the Federal Reserve, which is a complete misdirection. His logic is straightforward—the real driver of the U.S. economy is the private sector. The Fed’s small moves (like a 25 basis point adjustment) are actually not that critical.
That said, the Fed has already cut interest rates three times in a row, but Moynihan also issued a harsher warning: if the Fed loses its independence, the market will turn against everyone. This is not empty talk—Trump has been applying pressure, even suggesting a change to a more "obedient" chairperson, and threatening legal action against Powell. This has already caused a stir in political and business circles.
More interestingly, recent forecasts from KPMG Macro suggest that in 2026, the Fed might only cut rates by 25 basis points, far below Trump’s expectations. Once a new chairperson takes office, they will immediately face policy tug-of-war with the White House.
What should crypto investors pay attention to now? The AI boom continues to burn cash, U.S. GDP is expected to stabilize at a 2.5% growth rate, which sounds good. But the problem is that high inflation is still quite stubborn, and the Fed is caught in a dilemma. The tug-of-war between policy and power is escalating, and 2026 will be a watershed year—since economic uncertainties are increasing, the impact on risk assets (including the crypto market) is worth pondering.

Are you betting on the Federal Reserve again? Wake up, the real money is in the private sector.
Political tug-of-war is the real drama; the panic will only start in 2026.
Inflation, that damn thing, isn't over yet. Risk assets really can't hold on much longer.
Speaking of which, Trump is determined to take down Powell—he's got some serious guts.
In crypto, it depends on whether the White House or the Federal Reserve will compromise in the end. If you bet wrong, it's over.

Betting on the Federal Reserve again? Our circle just loves to place hope on the central bank. Really wake up.
The independence of political intervention should have been clear long ago. 2026 is the real reshuffle moment.
The crypto market is just waiting to be repeatedly beaten down by economic uncertainty...
With high inflation + policy tug-of-war, retail investors really need to watch their wallets this time.
The new chairman just took office and has to wrestle with the White House. Who dares to guarantee how BTC will move then?

Once the Federal Reserve's independence is gone, we retail investors will be the ones truly unlucky.

Everyone is watching the Fed cut rates, but no one is paying attention to what the private sector is doing. It's a classic case of picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
If the Fed really gets bound by strict constraints, the crypto world will be finished... that's the real key.
Only 25 basis points in 2026? What is Trump thinking? This is forcing the new chairman to oppose directly.
High inflation just can't be suppressed, the Federal Reserve is stuck, and our yields are still jumping around.
Political game-playing is heating up, risk assets are suffering, and the situation is becoming more and more complicated by the end of this year.
Bank of America CEO's comments are quite accurate, but the market will still bet on the Fed. The outcome in 2026 really depends on how the new chairman plays their hand.
This rhythm feels off, economic uncertainties are growing, and the crypto market sentiment needs to be adjusted.
The power struggle has begun, and retail investors can only watch as the situation unfolds.

Are you still talking about the Federal Reserve? Honestly, it's just a power game. We still have to rely on on-chain data to be credible.

2026 is destined to be chaotic. Only then will we understand the true destructive power of political pressure on the coin price.
---
High inflation can't be suppressed no matter what, and this is the most frustrating part. Risk assets will all have to suffer the beating.
---
The CEO of Bank of America is quite clear in this statement, but unfortunately, most retail investors are still sleepwalking.
---
Once the new chairperson takes office, we'll see what a policy reversal really means. It's hard to say whether BTC can withstand this wave of impact.
