While the market is betting on rate cuts, a major leak from the Federal Reserve's mouthpiece reveals: Powell has hired top Wall Street law firms to firmly push back against Washington's political pressure! A statement was issued on Sunday, but the law firms had already been planning for months. This is a strong move to emphasize the "independence of the Federal Reserve" and send a message to Washington not to interfere with money printing!

Powell's move sends three key signals: political easing is unlikely, the Fed will focus solely on economic data; the era of high interest rates is likely to be extended, with slow rate cuts and prolonged balance sheet reduction becoming the main themes; market logic is being reshaped, so future focus should be on CPI data.

For the crypto market, the outlook is mixed. Long-term, it’s a positive signal: the more independent the Fed, the less monetary policy is influenced by politics, strengthening Bitcoin’s narrative as a "non-political asset." But in the short term, caution is needed—liquidity tightening expectations remain, and risk assets may be suppressed. However, the panic-driven market dips could present buying opportunities.

Powell’s move defends the central bank’s bottom line, effectively issuing a "Federal Reserve independence declaration." The upcoming congressional hearings will be the main event—an intense battleground! Will increased independence reassure the market or cause volatility? Share your thoughts in the comments!
