#数字资产市场动态 The suspense over the Federal Reserve Chair's future suddenly reverses! Market sentiment takes a sharp turn
Yesterday, an unexpected change came to the trading scene—the dramatic reversal in betting data on whether Powell will continue to lead the Fed. Polymarket's prediction market gave a clear signal: the probability of him stepping down before the end of May dropped from 74% to 45%, and the chance of leaving by the end of the year also fell from 85% to 62%.
Why did the sentiment shift so quickly?
In simple terms, Powell himself holds the legitimate card for succession. According to the rules framework, he can serve until 2028; various surveys around him actually strengthen the consensus within the Federal Reserve; and the market is voting with real money—compared to pure political appointments, a reliable, rule-based "monetary policy executor" is obviously more attractive.
What does this mean for crypto assets?
If Powell continues to stay in office, upcoming interest rate adjustments will be more methodical, data-driven. The long-term liquidity environment won't turn around, but the pace will become more transparent and less susceptible to political disruptions. With fewer sudden policy reversals, the market also reduces the risk of flash crashes.
Ultimately: the market has "bottomed" on the concept of "predictability." The game of central bank power is now truly heating up. $ETH $BTC $PEPE

Another reversal? The market's move this time is really impressive, flipping on a dime. Powell's probability of succession dropped directly from 74% to 45%, this gamble is more thrilling than a roller coaster. To put it simply, money is smart—prefer stable currency assets over political uncertainties, I respect this logic.

Powell has settled in firmly, now the crypto world can sleep peacefully without constantly being hit by policy shocks.

Wow, Powell's reversal, the market is really betting on predictability... Stability is better than surprises. Hopefully, there will be fewer policy surprises this time.

Will Powell continue to push forward? Then liquidity is stable, much more reliable than those erratic politicians.

This reversal is really awesome, luckily I wasn't completely fooled. The probability of Powell's succession has surged so dramatically, indicating that the market still relies on transparent policies. As long as liquidity doesn't collapse suddenly, we have time to strategize. This is the rhythm that long-term players should follow.

Powell is determined, and the market's reaction this time was indeed quick... Predictability is the key, much more reliable than political struggles.

Oh my goodness, another "Mainland sinking and floating" situation. The data reversal on Polymarket made my head spin.
Honestly, Powell's "predictability" is the real scarce asset, more resilient than any blue-chip NFT.
As liquidity and environmental protection stabilize, we on the chain can sleep peacefully; policy flip-flops are the deadliest.
This time, the market is truly investing real money in "stability." I've always said that bottom consensus is crucial.
If you ask me, instead of guessing political gossip, it's better to look at on-chain data. Whoever can provide a transparent policy environment is the winner.

Wow, that turnaround is too fast. 74% directly slashed to 45%? The market really changes its tune in a second.
