Fresh Reuters report says the upcoming Fed meeting is now being overshadowed by something bigger than rates.
It’s about power.
The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal probe tied to Jerome Powell, Trump is pushing to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook, and he’s also preparing a shortlist of names to potentially replace Powell.
This is not normal politics.
This is pressure on central bank independence.
And markets care a lot about that.
👉 Let me be clear:
Even if the Fed keeps rates unchanged, the real risk is credibility.
Once investors start questioning whether monetary policy is being influenced by politicians, uncertainty explodes.
What usually happens in this type of environment?
→ Dollar weakens
→ Bond volatility rises
→ Safe-haven narratives strengthen
→ Risk assets swing harder
For $BTC , this creates a two-sided effect.
Short term: expect sharper volatility. Sudden headlines can trigger liquidations on both sides.
Medium term: Bitcoin benefits from the exact fear this situation creates.
If people believe money printing or political control over policy becomes more likely, BTC’s “non-sovereign money” narrative gets stronger.
This isn’t a bullish or bearish headline by itself.
It’s a volatility catalyst.
I’m watching how BTC reacts around key support levels, not guessing direction from emotion.
🤔 Big picture?
When politics starts fighting the Fed, markets rarely stay calm.
And crypto never stays quiet in those moments.
Keep thinking.
