Powell completely tears off the disguise! Last night's Federal Reserve meeting shocked the world—this chairman will forge the unemployment rate of 4.1% into a gold bell jar, brazenly welding shut the door to rate cuts! He cast aside all the economic data's fig leaf, starkly declaring: As long as the unemployment rate does not soar, rate cuts are a pipe dream!

Faced with the rare public rebellion of the two major governors Waller and Bowman, Powell surprisingly took a tougher stance to suppress internal dissent, betting his last 10 months in office to stubbornly hold onto high rates! The market erupted instantly: US stocks plummeted, US bond yields soared, the dollar skyrocketed, and the money market crushed the probability of a September rate cut to below 35%—this is the most perilous 'hawkish moment' in over a year!

The dollar's knife is drawn, Bitcoin bleeds profusely!

At the moment Powell reveals the 'unemployment rate immunity card', the US Dollar Index violently surges to a new high for the year! The brutal historical pattern is laid bare—when the dollar is strong, Bitcoin is in danger! Liquidity expectations are completely extinguished, panic selling from giant whales emerges. Last night, BTC flash crashed through the psychological barrier of $114,000, ETH plummeted by 7% in tandem, and over $500 million was liquidated across the network in just one hour! More perilous is that interest rate futures show the market has bet on a maximum interest rate cut of just 65 basis points before Powell leaves office in May 2026—this means in the next 10 months, the crypto market will struggle for breath under 'dollar pressure'!

Tonight's non-farm payroll: The last steel needle that could crush the crypto space?

All eyes are focused on tonight's 20:30 non-farm payroll data—if the unemployment rate remains stuck at 4.1% or even lower (current expectation 4.0%), Powell will receive the 'hawkish decree', and the dream of a rate cut in September will be shattered! At that time, the dollar may stir up a bloodbath. Standard Chartered analyst England bluntly states: 'Powell has tied policy to the unemployment rate!' Even more terrifying is that if hourly wage growth exceeds expectations (previous value 4.0%), the inflation specter may be resurrected, and the Federal Reserve could even signal a rate hike! The liquidity in the crypto space will face a nuclear strike!

Survival guide: How to fight fiercely in Powell's rate execution ground

Clear out high-leverage long positions before the non-farm payroll! Data volatility may exceed 20%, ETH options implied volatility skyrocketing to 120%—betting on direction = suicide!

Bottom fishing?: The unemployment rate soaring beyond 4.3% forces Powell to surrender

Hedging tool: Go long on the US Dollar Index futures (DXY) while buying BTC put options to hedge against black swan events in the crypto space with macro trends!

This rate fire ignited by Powell can only be extinguished by a spike in the unemployment rate or an escalation in the Federal Reserve's internal conflicts! When the market realizes that a 'zero rate cut term' may become a reality, the valuation system in the crypto space will be completely reconstructed.

Remember: Surviving under the Federal Reserve's eagle claws is the ultimate alpha!
