Master Trump vs. Powell, this storm will directly determine where your money flows.



Trump announced "must cut interest rates by 1 point," and the Federal Reserve responded sharply with "we remain independent." It seems like a verbal sparring, but behind the scenes, an intense covert battle is underway. What’s behind it? The US $36 trillion debt monster is roaring—interest payments alone could consume the entire defense budget. Can you imagine how tight that number is?

Inject liquidity? Worry about reigniting inflation. Hold back? Debt interest becomes unmanageable. In this dilemma, the market has already sensed an opportunity.

Data confirms these expectations: Bitcoin broke through the $930,000 mark, and gold ETFs absorbed $3.4 billion in a single day. The CME futures market shows the probability of a rate cut in March soaring to 89%. But there’s a trap—by 2024, the Fed has already cut rates five times, and the room for rate cuts in 2025 is very limited. US bond yields have been fluctuating wildly during this period, and leveraged longs could be shaken out at any time.

How to operate without getting caught? A few suggestions:

First, closely monitor every Fed speech and adjust your positions immediately if the tone shifts. This is no small matter.

Second, prioritize anti-inflation assets—things like Bitcoin and gold should be held tightly now.

Third, and most importantly: now is not the time to increase leverage; rather, it’s time to reduce leverage. The volatility is terrifying. Preserving capital is the key, so you can truly benefit from the big trend later.

The biggest mistake in the market is chasing highs or selling lows. Stay calm, observe carefully, and only act when signals are clear. Mainstream coins like $BNB have been performing well recently, while smaller tokens like $BROCCOLI714 and $FHE carry higher risks. Pace yourself accordingly.

A few questions for everyone:

1. Will Powell finally back down and cut rates, or will he continue to resist?
2. If they really loosen policy, will you go all-in on Bitcoin or diversify into gold?
3. Is this really the big bull run in the crypto world starting, or is it a trap set by the bulls?

Can Powell really hold on? It seems like Trump has a better chance of winning this round.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is being heavily speculated, but is there really that much room? It feels like we've been played.

Wow, with 36 trillion in debt, it's really unsustainable. Powell has no choice but to cut this time.

The 36 trillion debt figure really can't be sustained anymore. No matter how tough Powell is, he will have to compromise.

If Powell really dares to cut interest rates, our Bitcoin will have a chance; otherwise, it's all just bluff.

The expectation of interest rate cuts is so high, but the room for maneuver is really limited... To put it simply, it's still a vicious cycle. Well, being cautious is never wrong.

That guy Powell is really something. He talks about independence but is actually scared stiff by debt. The figure of 36 trillion is truly astonishing; the money-printing machine should start turning.
