Trump recently stated that he has no intention of dismissing Powell, implying that the Federal Reserve's policy will not change dramatically in the short term. Although there is still an observation period, for market participants, a stable liquidity environment will have a positive impact on expectations.

【BitPush】U.S. President Trump recently made new remarks regarding Powell’s position. Although the Department of Justice is conducting an investigation, Trump explicitly stated that there are no plans to dismiss Powell at this time. When asked whether he is considering removing Powell, he responded to the media: “I currently have no such plans.”

This statement sends an important signal — policy will not shift dramatically in the short term. Trump further added that the approach to Powell is a wait-and-see strategy, and his team is studying how to respond moving forward, but specific details cannot be disclosed at this time. He emphasized, “It’s still too early,” implying that the final decision is still under observation.

What does this mean for market participants? The continuity of Federal Reserve policies is assured in the short term, but medium-term uncertainties remain. The crypto market is closely linked to Federal Reserve monetary policy, and the stability of liquidity conditions is crucial for market expectations. While Trump’s remarks do not completely rule out future changes, they at least provide the market with a relatively clear buffer period to digest and adapt.

Basically, it's about stabilizing morale. In the short term, Powell won't move, but there are still variables ahead, leaving a suspense for the market.

Don't get too excited just yet; who knows how long this "pause" will last.

Pausing doesn't mean doing nothing; this tactic is really clever.

Pause strategy? That means negotiations are still ongoing. Don't believe him when he says there are no plans. Wait, does this mean the Federal Reserve will stabilize in the short term? Then the liquidity environment at least won't suddenly explode. Trump's "it's too early" statement is really just dragging things out. To put it simply, it's just leaving a suspense, and the market has to keep wobbling. How long will the observation period last? We can't afford to wait for this follow-up.

Haha, the delay strategy means they're still holding back their big move. Don't buy into this narrative too much. This round, the Federal Reserve is temporarily alive, but do you really think Powell can hold on? I bet five bucks he'll be out sooner or later. If liquidity stabilizes, will the coin price go up? Oh my, how naive of me. Be prepared to take off at any moment or just crash the market. Policy continuity is temporarily guaranteed? Basically, they're waiting for the right moment. Who knows what will happen during this observation period. Instead of guessing what Trump will do next, it's better to see if the spot market can hold this level. Delay = they haven't decided yet or are still preparing a big move. Brothers, don't be fooled by the reassurance. Really, there are a bunch of mid-term uncertainties. This is just a smoke screen. Powell's current position is like a bomb; who knows when it will explode.

Hold your ground for now, but that phrase "It's still too early" sounds to me like digging a hole... The Fed's move this time has temporarily kept it alive, but can we really rest easy?
