The position of Fed chair has recently become a hot potato that nobody wants to pick up.

Why? Because whoever takes the job has to do two conflicting things: push for rate cuts to stimulate the economy while also keeping inflation in check so prices don’t soar. Isn’t that putting someone in a tough spot? Even Hassett, who’s been mentioned for the role, is probably feeling nervous—if rate cuts don’t work, criticism is guaranteed.

What does this have to do with the crypto in our hands? A lot, actually.

Once the Fed’s policy gets stuck in a stalemate, market sentiment will swing back and forth. Today, everyone thinks easing is coming, so coin prices get a boost; tomorrow, if policy winds shift, there’s worry about tightening and prices drop. This kind of tug-of-war in the short term is hard to avoid.

Some practical tips:
If you’re holding mainstream coins, don’t panic sell because of small fluctuations—holding on gives you a chance. If you’re planning to enter the market, don’t go all in at once; it’s safer to buy in batches with spare funds. And those obscure little coins? Don’t touch them.

To put it plainly, this is a “battle of emotions.” There’s no need to rush in and become cannon fodder; it’s actually smarter to watch and wait for opportunities—if prices really drop hard, pick up some chips, but don’t chase the highs if the market surges. When the market seems lively, that’s exactly when you need to stay calm. Separate expectations from reality, and wait for a real trend signal before making a move.
