Tonight, Powell is set to deliver the final curtain call! The liquidity beacon that has guided the crypto market for years may be extinguished here?



Attention, crypto family: at 2:00 a.m., the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision will roll out as scheduled. There will be no rate change—there’s no suspense there. But the real core “explosion point” this time is that this will very likely be Powell’s last public Q&A press conference during his term. Waller, the successor nominated by Trump, has long been criticized for the Federal Reserve’s excessive communication. After taking office, he will very likely directly cancel the regular press conferences, completely rewriting the Fed’s communication approach.

Once the policy “clear signals” from the Powell era are lost, the crypto market landscape will be reshaped entirely. To be frank, the more transparent the Fed’s policies are, the more the crypto community can digest expectations early and avoid volatility. But if decisions later shift into a black-box mode—without the buffering effect of forward-looking guidance—then any small change in policy winds can directly knock down the market, triggering a deep sell-off.

Back to the current market: Bitcoin has been grinding back and forth for a long time, stuck around the 76,000 level, and the overall trend is dull and lacking strength. Altcoins, too, are collectively sluggish. Tonight’s key focus is on what “Old Powell” says: if he releases hawkish signals that make clear rate cuts this year are unlikely, the market will inevitably come under short-term pressure and weaken. Conversely, if he delivers softer, more dovish wording, it may help drive a round of short-term rebound.

Looking at the longer cycle, the successor Waller is an even more hardline hawk than Powell. Once regular press conferences are fully canceled, every subsequent rate-setting meeting will be no different from the whole internet opening blind boxes—market uncertainty will be pushed much higher.

Practical advice for all traders: don’t go heavy on bets for a one-way direction, strictly control contract leverage, keep enough “ammunition” in reserve, and patiently wait for the sentiment of the daytime Asian session to land before making arrangements.

Tonight, we’ll conduct a deep breakdown of the Fed leadership-change logic + the post-event market rhythm, along with more refined offense-and-defense strategies. Lock in and follow the latest updates on the homepage!
