# #FedHoldsRateButDividesDeepen

8.97K

On April 30, the Fed held rates at 3.50%-3.75% for the third consecutive meeting. However, the 8-4 vote marked the deepest internal divide since 1992. Three regional presidents opposed keeping an easing bias in the statement, while one governor supported an immediate rate cut. As Middle East tensions keep oil prices elevated, the Fed acknowledged that inflation remains high, with energy as a key driver. Markets are now repricing the risk of "higher for longer" — or even a potential rate hike — putting risk assets under renewed pressure.

Powell Steps Down as Chair of the Federal Reserve: Crypto Braces for a Liquidity and Regulation Paradigm Shift
Powell will officially step down as Chair of the Federal Reserve, with Kevin Waugh taking over. This transfer of power will reshape crypto liquidity, regulatory direction, and pricing logic—short-term shocks, medium-term reshuffling, and long-term reconstruction of the industry’s ecosystem.
During Powell’s tenure, monetary policy was directly tied to crypto bull and bear cycles: easing policies helped nurture the 2021 bull market, rate hikes triggered the 2022 bear market, and lat

4.30 Bitcoin Operation Strategy Analysis | Hawkish Rate Landing, Short-term Bearish Dominance
Last night, after listening to Master Bao's speech, I thought I would "send him off," but it turned out to be just a different way of saying more hawkishness.
This time, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, and the overall stance remains cautious, emphasizing that inflation pressures are still present, and market expectations for rate cuts this year continue to shift later. After the news was released, risk aversion sentiment increased, funds flowed out in the short term, driving Bitcoin

Powell is gone, leaving behind $120 oil prices and a group of tech giants popping champagne in the trenches.
In the past 24 hours, three major events happened, each damn well hitting your wallet.
The Federal Reserve split 8 to 4 in a shocking division.
Oil prices surged past $120.
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta all reported earnings simultaneously.
Putting these three events on the same day isn’t a coincidence; it’s history knocking on the door.
First, let’s talk about the old man who left.
Powell, the final time at the helm.
This old guy said one thing:
“The independence of the central b

The Federal Reserve maintains high interest rates with an 8 to 4 internal split, and inflation remains elevated due to rising oil prices. The market is reassessing the risks of "maintaining high interest rates for longer" and even "possible rate hikes next." The crypto space is undergoing stress testing; as risk assets, cryptocurrencies face pressure in a high-interest-rate environment, which suppresses speculative demand and leads to capital outflows from risk assets. BTC/ETH could face further downward pressure.

4.30 Morning Analysis 1. Bearish momentum takes off, riding the trend to profit without fighting against it
Family! Did last night’s market directly break the bulls’ defenses? BTC has now fallen 0.79%, breaking below 750, and the bears are taking off straight away. Follow the trend, don’t go against the market.
Originally, Bitcoin was declining steadily, and once it broke below 760, it had little resistance left. Then, when the Federal Reserve decision came out, it added a buff to the bearish sentiment. Bitcoin instantly dropped below 750, with the lowest hitting 748 before barely holding. The

April 30 Morning Bitcoin Analysis
This round of market movement first surged then pulled back, followed by a deep V-shaped bottom rebound. Currently, it is consolidating within a small range, in a recovery phase after a decline. The overall trend is unclear, waiting for a breakout signal from the market.
Below, the key support level at 75,000 remains firm. If support holds steady, traders can layer in long positions to capitalize on rebounds.
Currently, there is continuous news interference. If volume increases and effectively breaks below 75,000, the downside space will be fully opened.
