The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision will be announced at 2:00 a.m. on Thursday, followed by a press conference with Powell.
The market is not only paying attention to policy signals but also assessing the future direction of the Federal Reserve's decision-making team.
The market generally expects that the interest rate will likely remain unchanged and hold steady.
Compared to the interest rate path, the market's focus shifts to personnel changes: Powell's term ends on May 15, and his statements are seen as a key window for judging whether he will stay or leave. He previously hinted that he does not rule out remaining as a board member.
At the same time, Trump has pressured the Fed to cut rates significantly, and his nominated successor, Waller, has publicly stated he will push for a "regime change" at the Fed.
Whether Powell remains as a board member is the main focus tonight.
Rising energy prices, inflation pressures, and economic growth concerns have led most investors to adopt a wait-and-see approach.
Mufeng believes that after the news, Bitcoin will still mainly be in a bearish trend!
Long-term positions for May can also be arranged!
