13-Day Window for the Federal Reserve Chair Transition: Why Is the Crypto World Reacting Early?
Trump will finalize the next Federal Reserve Chair candidate within the next 13 days. This is not just a Washington power game; global capital markets are all waiting for this moment—because whoever takes office will directly determine the monetary policy direction for the coming years.
The market's concern is actually quite simple: Will the new chair lean towards easing?
Currently, three clear signals are flashing: ✅ Trump publicly calls for rate cuts, with an unambiguous stance ✅ The capital markets are already pricing in 3-5 rate cuts in 2026 ✅ The most favored candidates are all dovish, leaning towards easing
Simply put: the countdown to rate cuts hasn't started, but expectations for rate cuts have already changed the price of every trade.
What does this mean for crypto assets? The script from history is clear—the bull market often doesn't start on the day of rate cuts, but when easing becomes an expected certainty. When interest rates peak and cash purchasing power declines, large-scale funds will seek an exit. High-volatility assets like Bitcoin and mainstream cryptocurrencies are often the first to sense shifts in liquidity tides.
So don’t be fooled by recent consolidation. This is very likely the main funds waiting for a decisive moment—the new chair’s appointment, a clear signal of easing, will lock in expectations.
Water flows to the low ground, and big funds are also waiting for this momentum to be unleashed.
👇 Looking forward to your thoughts: after the new chair is confirmed, how do you think this market trend will unfold?

The rate cut expectations are already locked in, now we just wait for the new chair to drop the bomb. We can't avoid the issue of funds finding an exit.

Wait, can the direction of 2026 be decided in just 13 days? That's way too forward-thinking, it feels a bit like overtrading expectations.

The day the shoe drops is the real moment of takeoff. These 13 days are just building momentum.

A person who can decide the global direction in just 13 days? Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical... But cheap goods definitely should be accumulated, huh.

The interest rate cut expectations are already locked in, and the main players are making quite a bold move.
