The Trump administration is set to announce a new Federal Reserve chairperson in January, and this policy change is becoming a focal point for market attention. There are reports that Trump is even considering legal action against current Chair Powell, while officials have delayed the decision citing "timing considerations."

From a market perspective, this development has two implications. In the short term, retail investors generally believe that the market still needs a sufficient adjustment period before the chairperson change— in other words, prices may still be in a bottoming process at this stage. This suggests that cryptocurrency market volatility in 2025 could be relatively concentrated in the first half of the year.

But that's not the whole story. If the new policy framework begins to be fully implemented in 2026, the market may face a new round of policy adjustment cycles. Short-term stability could give way to medium-term uncertainty. For savvy traders, the key is to understand this 12-18 month policy window and adjust their position strategies accordingly.

Haha, Powell has really offended people this time. Just wait until the first half of 2025 to buy the dip. Wait, the new chairman comes in and it's a whole new set of rules? Then the positions I currently hold will have to be readjusted later. The 12-18 month window sounds intimidating, but it's really just betting on policies. Dare to sue Powell? The crypto world might really see a change this time. Short-term bottoming but long-term uncertainty, in other words, just continue to watch policy changes and adapt. See the real results in January, and everyone will have to queue up again to get on board.

The bottom hasn't been reached yet. Powell's situation, as it drags on, is turning into a positive? That's interesting. Wait, 2026 is the real big move? Then I need to reconsider my position. Trump's manipulation of the Federal Reserve is like trading cryptocurrencies—both start with statements to create expectations. Retail investors are the easiest to be misled. Short-term stability, medium-term chaos. This kind of rhetoric works every time, but when the day comes, the results are different. If Powell really gets sued, I’ll die laughing. The crypto community is still discussing the window period, while politicians are already starting to fight. Instead of guessing policies, it's better to look at on-chain data. Such macro predictions are the easiest to go wrong. So is it the time to buy the dip? Or should I keep watching the show first? We won't know the truth until January when the news is confirmed. Right now, it's all speculation. If the new chairman is friendly to crypto enthusiasts, last year's bear market was truly an opportunity to get in. Now, it's too late to regret. I've heard the idea of medium-term uncertainty too many times, and in the end, it always turns into a certainty of price increase.

Uh... it's the same rhetoric about the policy window period. To put it plainly, it's still betting on Trump's mood. --- 12-18 months? I think there will be some surprises after 12-18 months. Don't think too far ahead. --- Retail investors are still exploring the bottom; institutions have already finished their bottom fishing. --- Will the new chairman be more friendly to cryptocurrencies? That's the key, right? --- Instead of studying the window period, it's better to watch what Trump's next tweet will say, haha. --- Mid-term uncertainty is just a trading opportunity. Why be afraid? --- Wait, is Powell about to be sued? This plot is getting more and more unbelievable. --- The concentrated volatility in the first half of the year... I need to adjust my positions. --- After saying so much, I just want to tell everyone not to rush into all-in positions now.

Damn, is it this set again? I'm already tired of the Trump and Powell drama. If they really wanted to take action, they would have done it already. Wait, the market is only in the first half of the year? Then is it too early for me to go all-in now? This 12-18 month window period feels like a story. Who the hell can pinpoint the exact timing? It's just gambling after all. Implement policies again in 2026? That's really outrageous. I can't wait that long. Is it reliable to change the chairman? Compared to that, I want to see if Bitcoin can break new highs.

I'm just here to watch the fun. Powell is being messed with so badly, the new chairman won't be able to change anything either. Wait... Will Trump really take legal action against Powell? This script is too outrageous. The volatility in the first half of 2025 sounds like more of the same old routine of cutting the leeks. A 12-18 month window... Easy to say, but us retail investors are the ones being played by this kind of "policy cycle." So should I keep holding now? I don't think so... Powell is really unlucky; whoever is chairman will have to take the blame. Prices are bottoming out, but after so long, I still haven't seen the bottom. I'm getting a bit tired. Is this policy change good or bad for the crypto market? I'm a bit confused. Smart traders... laughable, most people are just gamblers. Will the real results only show in 2026? Then I have to hold on until next year or the year after. Holding coins isn't easy. It would be great if the new chairman could be a bit more relaxed than Powell. Tapering never ends—who can stand that? Short-term stability with medium-term uncertainty, sounds like a damn pain.

The bottom hasn't been reached yet. Waiting for the new chairman to take office will just cause more trouble. By the first half of 2025, we might be harvested again.
