With May approaching, markets are speculating whether Powell will continue steering monetary policy or step aside. For crypto traders watching Fed decisions closely, Powell's choice carries significant weight—his stance on interest rates and quantitative measures directly shapes capital flows into digital assets. The outcome could pivot market sentiment dramatically.

Will Powell continue or step down? This will really directly affect the blood flow in the crypto circle. Whoever takes over will have to relearn everything.

If Powell really steps down, how will the crypto market move... everything will have to be recalculated.

Oh wow, Powell really needs to think carefully. There's still hope in May. If Powell actually steps down, our crypto world will explode... A change in interest rate policy will cause chaos worldwide. Anyway, it depends on what he chooses. If he continues to be dovish, we'll be laughing. It feels like something big will happen in May. Whoever guesses right will make money. If they are determined to tighten, the Federal Reserve will really have to reshuffle the deck.

As long as Powell stays in office, we'll keep trading cryptocurrencies; if he steps down, we'll bet on new policies—it's all a game of capital anyway.
