The recent movements of Bitcoin and Ethereum have added a new variable.

Trump has already made it clear that a new Federal Reserve Chair will be finalized in early January next year. There is a key figure behind this — Treasury Secretary Yellen. It is understood that she is not only leading the selection process for the Fed Chair but also actively promoting the implementation of interest rate cuts.

From the perspective of the crypto market, what does this mean? A rate cut cycle often increases liquidity, and the expectation of rate cuts itself can trigger reallocation of funds. The interest rate cut policies strongly promoted by Yellen are aligned with a new agenda that could fundamentally rewrite the Fed’s decision-making framework. How well the Treasury Secretary’s views match those of the future Fed Chair directly affects the direction of monetary policy.

In the short term, the rising expectation of rate cuts makes BTC more attractive. However, the uncertainty during the power transition period cannot be ignored. The market is waiting for clearer policy signals.

honestly bessent pushing rate cuts is such theater... market's already priced in the pivot three months ago, empirically speaking. everyone's acting like january's some magic catalyst when really it's just noise between now and actual policy implementation. ngl the btc pump feels fragile without real liquidity backstop

Besant's move in this game is quite brilliant. As soon as the interest rate cut expectation emerged, the coin price started to stir... But I still don't dare to go all in. Haven't we seen enough stories of policy reversals?

Besent is really playing a big game. When rate cut expectations rise, BTC follows with enthusiasm. During the power transition period, uncertainty is like a time bomb. Who the hell can see it clearly? When the rate cut cycle arrives, you have to allocate, but the signals still need to wait a bit longer. Trump, Besent, and the new Federal Reserve Chair form a triangle with a bit of complexity. That’s the real variable. BTC has a keen sense; once the policy framework changes, liquidity needs to be reshuffled. Wait until policies become clearer before jumping in. It's easier to get cut now if you rush in.

Bessent, this guy is really playing a big game. As the expectation of interest rate cuts rises, BTC will definitely soar. I'm just worried about policy reversals and getting slapped in the face.

Besant's move was quite aggressive. The market reacts to rate cut expectations along with BTC, but I'm still waiting to see who the final Fed Chair will be. It feels like this round of the market will depend on how the power game unfolds.

Besant's move in this game is quite interesting. If interest rate cuts really happen, can the crypto market not go crazy? --- Speculation about rate cut expectations, but it's still early for it to actually happen. Don't get caught off guard. --- The transfer of power is the hardest to predict. I prefer to wait and see first. --- Is BTC rising now? Wait until policies are really confirmed before talking. --- Can the Federal Reserve's approach be changed? I doubt it. Don't overthink it. --- If these rate cuts really come, liquidity will explode. But the premise must be fulfilled. --- When Trump makes a move, the market gets chaotic. This time, it's another rollercoaster. --- Besant wants to change the Federal Reserve framework? That's quite ambitious. Whether the market believes it or not is another story. --- Short-term speculation is just that—speculation. The real good news has to wait until the dust settles. --- With such high uncertainty, going all-in now is just a gambler's mentality.

Besant's move in this game is well played. The expectation of interest rate cuts combined with BTC is set to take off. Let's see if it can be confirmed in January.
