A rumor exploded in the community on Monday night - it said that Powell would announce his resignation at an emergency meeting? Is this matter reliable or not?

Let's start with the conclusion: it currently seems more like market noise. The Federal Reserve's official website shows that Powell has a speaking engagement at the Hoover Institution at 8 PM that evening, and there is no announcement of any emergency meeting. Additionally, his term as chairman does not end until May 2026, and his board member status extends until January 2028, with legal term protection. He has also publicly stated multiple times that he intends to serve his full term.

But then again, this kind of rumor is not the first time it has appeared. Since Trump's return to the White House, there has been no respite in market speculation about the direction of monetary policy. White House economic advisor Hassett recently expressed a willingness to accept the nomination for Federal Reserve Chair, is this sending some kind of signal? Combined with the capital inflow after Thanksgiving and the pressure from year-end institutional assessments, the wait-and-see sentiment is indeed rising.

From a trading perspective, December is traditionally a month prone to fluctuations. Historical data shows that after a decline in November, December often opens lower. Coupled with the tightening of liquidity at the end of the year and the fermentation of policy uncertainty, risk assets like BTC and ETH are more susceptible to emotional influences.

Real resignation? Policy shifts may accelerate, possibly providing short-term benefits to risk assets but with long-term uncertainties. False news? After the market stabilizes, it will still follow its original path. Regardless of the situation, this week's volatility is unlikely to be small, so it's advisable to manage your positions well and avoid getting overly excited.
