Recently, the crypto world has been stirred up by a piece of news. Eric Trump voiced on social media, stating, "Those who bought Bitcoin two years ago are geniuses." This statement sounds like a joke, but combined with another rumor, it becomes interesting — it is said that in 28 days, the current Fed chairman Powell's term may end early, and a new candidate is about to emerge.



The market reaction was quite direct. Bitcoin surged 3% that day, briefly climbing to 67,000 USD. According to the liquidation data across the network, short sellers lost over 280 million USD. The Trump-related meme coin STRUMP skyrocketed 40% in a single day, completely igniting speculative sentiment.

There are actually several points worth pondering behind this. First of all, if the Fed really changes its leadership, the new chair will likely have a closer relationship with Trump's team, and a shift in policy direction is almost a certainty. Secondly, once expectations for interest rate cuts rise, liquidity easing is a real boon for risk assets. Lastly, Wall Street institutions have been very active during this period, with giants like BlackRock and Fidelity increasing their allocations to digital assets.

To be honest, the speed at which traditional financial giants are entering the market is faster than expected. When the policy level begins to loosen up and mainstream capital no longer hesitates, the window of opportunity for retail investors may really be limited. However, that being said, explosive growth is often accompanied by greater volatility risk, and blindly chasing highs has never been a good idea.

The market is currently most concerned with three things: Who will be the next Fed chair? What is the timeline for a policy shift? Aside from Bitcoin, which coins may benefit? There are no definite answers to these questions for now, but one thing is certain - the crypto market will not be boring in the coming months.

They're at it again, playing people for suckers, always the same old routine. --- Powell stepping down? I see it as a power game, retail investors continue to be used as ATMs. --- Wait a minute, do you really believe this news? I bet five bucks this is institutions accumulating. --- Holy crap, STR is up 40% in one day, how many people must have gotten wrecked? --- Genius? The all-in me from two years ago just wants to laugh, now I still have to hold on tight. --- Wow, BlackRock and Fidelity are really buying the dip, while us retail investors are still chasing at high prices. --- As soon as interest rate cut expectations heat up, they pump, I've memorized this script after seeing it so many times. --- Change in policy direction? To put it bluntly, it’s just favorable information being priced in early; by the time the news actually lands, it's already dumping. --- Not much time left in the window, huh? Then I'll just keep waiting, after all, I'm not the only one losing money. --- Anyone can be the next chairman, the key is when the institutions dump, that’s the real turning point.

It's the same old story about Powell stepping down, why are so many people getting carried away? The short positions of 280 million are gone, those chasing the price will have to learn a lesson. Trump hasn't said a single truth, don't get caught up in the hype. Institutions are buying the dip while we catch a falling knife, this trick is getting old. If there really were a window of opportunity, it wouldn't be for us retail investors.

It's just another case of being played for suckers due to information asymmetry; I've seen through it long ago.

Wow, this operation is too fierce, the short positions directly blew up 280 million, haha The institutions entering the market are not just talk, retail investors need to hurry up Just a word from Trump and the coin rises 3%, such influence is unmatched BlackRock and Fidelity are all eating up the chips, what are we still hesitating about? A 40% big pump is terrifying, but the risks behind it are even scarier, take it slow Powell has stepped down, how much better can the new chairman be? It's all about politics anyway 28 days? I bet 5 DOGE that this matter will change Those who chase the price must be crying now, it's always like this The memes are rising so sharply, it feels like someone is about to catch a falling knife As soon as the interest rate cut expectations come, liquidity is really fragrant What will the next explosion point be? Waiting to be beaten feels like Institutions have already taken action and we are still watching, the window period is really about to close

Is it this again? Retail investors should wake up, the institutions have long been lying in ambush. --- Wait a minute, STRUMP is up 40%? How many people have to catch a falling knife? --- Whether or not the change of the Fed chairman will happen is still debatable, don't get led by the rhythm. --- Chasing the price at over 66,000? Buddy, I suggest you think about the people from 2021. --- BlackRock and Fidelity entering the market is a good thing, but when can we small retail investors get a share of the pie? --- Policy easing is indeed favourable information, but the question is who can benefit from this wave of dividends? Definitely not us. --- Meme coins up 40% in a day? Isn't this a signal to play people for suckers? --- Interest rate cut expectations are indeed heating up, but real risks are coming too, with such big fluctuations, aren't you afraid of getting liquidated? --- To put it bluntly, during this period before the new chairman takes office, all kinds of capital are celebrating wildly. --- Genius who bought Bitcoin two years ago? What are they buying now, haha.

It's the same trap again; every time a policy changes, there has to be a wave of speculation, while retail investors are still in a daze; institutions should have already entered a position.
