A solid Federal Reserve chair keeps one eye on inflation and the other on employment. The playbook is straightforward: anchor inflation expectations at 2% while pushing for maximum employment. Why does this matter to us? Because monetary policy moves ripple through everything—when the Fed tightens or eases, markets react hard. Those two pillars of stability directly shape how capital flows into risk assets, including crypto markets. The strength of the economy and labor market health become barometers for overall market sentiment. It's not just about rates anymore; it's about confidence in the system's long-term direction.

The game of monetary policy is basically like dancing on a tightrope; a slight misstep and crypto could suffer heavy losses.

The Fed is playing this game: keeping prices stable + maximum employment. In simple terms, it's still a confidence game.

Basically, every move the Fed makes affects our wallets. The 2% inflation target sounds simple, but it's actually all about strategy and negotiation. --- Really, once the Fed acts, crypto has to tremble accordingly. That's why we need to keep a close eye on macroeconomic factors. --- So ultimately, it still depends on US employment data. That thing is more influential than any technical analysis. --- The crypto world is always passive, waiting for the Fed guys' signals. That's how the market moves. --- Where capital flows mainly depends on confidence. Currently, the market just lacks long-term certainty.

The Federal Reserve's game, to put it simply, is to deceive retail investors. The 2% inflation target sounds impressive, but in the crypto world, it's still about liquidity.

Fed's stuff, to put it simply, is just a pretext for pulling the wool over people's eyes; what really affects the crypto world is when they decide to loosen monetary policy.

The Fed's theory doesn't really apply in crypto; we're playing a different game.

Oh my, talking about the Fed again. Basically, it's one person playing a seesaw, holding down inflation on one side and supporting employment on the other. Honestly, I think this game is essentially a gamble... a gamble on whether the market believes their rhetoric. In the end, us crypto traders are the ones who suffer the most, having to watch their faces 😅

In simple terms, it's the Federal Reserve people who hold our purse strings; every move they make influences the trend of the crypto market.
