Today this matter has caused quite a stir—"Powell is going to resign" news has spread wildly in the circle. But the more it is like this, the more one must remain calm.

First, make the key points clear:

Now the screen is filled with screenshots and forwards, but if you look closely, which mainstream financial media has confirmed it? The Federal Reserve's official website is quiet, and there has been no movement from the White House either.

Powell's term hasn't ended yet, the legal provisions are clearly written, it's not something that can be changed just like that.

That evening, he had originally scheduled a public speech at the Hoover Institution, and the schedule had been set long ago. Where did this "emergency closed-door meeting" come from?

So this kind of news is most likely a product of market sentiment.

But the question arises - why can such rumors stir the market every time?

Because December is a very special time. At the end of the year, institutions need to assess their performance, there is great pressure for capital to return, and with Thanksgiving just passed, liquidity is already tight... The market at this time is like dry tinder, a single spark can ignite it.

Additionally, the former president has been expressing his "dissatisfaction" with the Federal Reserve Chair from time to time, and there are rumors circulating about someone preparing to take over. When these fragmented pieces of information are pieced together, they are immediately packaged as "breaking news" and spread throughout the community.

The thing that the crypto market fears the most is this kind of ambiguous signal that is half true and half false — it doesn’t need to be a fact, it just needs to be able to trigger panic.

Remember this rule: the more chaotic the market, the more certain funds like to use this kind of news to wash retail investors' chips.

So should we believe this rumor or not?

My opinion is: just listen to it as a noise.

But will it affect the price trend?

Yes, and it has already started to have an impact.

The market trading has never been the facts themselves, but the emotional fluctuations generated around the facts. Once emotions arise, the market will start to oscillate.

Especially in the first week of December, historical data shows that there is a tendency for a "low opening and oscillation" trend, and now combined with this sudden news, the volatility will only be more exaggerated.

So, here's a suggestion for everyone:

Don't let emotions lead you around, and don't rush into heavy investments. Observe the true movements of large funds and pay attention to the Federal Reserve's subsequent official statements. The real direction of the market often lies not in the news itself, but in the market's reaction to the news.

In simple terms: this melon is probably fake, but the market fluctuations are real. Powell is unlikely to leave, but your holdings can easily be shaken off during such volatility. Stay calm and don't be an emotional retail trader.
