Fed Chair Powell publicly criticized Trump over what he characterized as intimidation tactics tied to the ongoing DOJ investigation, triggering a notable selloff in stock futures. The remarks underscored growing tensions between the executive branch and monetary policy leadership. Market participants are watching closely as equities show weakness across the board. Given crypto markets' increasing correlation with traditional stocks, this political friction could ripple through digital asset prices in the coming sessions. The volatility reflects how macroeconomic and policy uncertainties continue reshaping investor sentiment across all asset classes.

Powell, you're playing with fire. Political struggles are harming everyone, and our crypto circle is caught in the crossfire... --- Here we go again. Every time the stock market jitters, crypto prices dance along. When will we finally decouple? --- It feels like the power struggles among the authorities are more intense than a candlestick chart. Volatility is about to take over... --- Political uncertainty = opportunity? Or is it safer to just exit quickly... --- The Fed and the White House are trading barbs. Our bags are trembling in the crossfire. Shrug --- With this rhythm, will the early trading tomorrow see a plunge or a rebound? Impossible to guess... --- Intimidation, judicial actions, sell-offs—it's almost like a complete script, missing only the word "liquidation." --- The biggest fear in a stagnant market is this kind of macro tearing. The crypto world has to look at Wall Street's face—so suffocating.

Powell really dares to say that. Now the stock market has plummeted again. The crypto circle is following along to share the funeral, it's really damn annoying.

Powell's straightforward response caused the market to plunge immediately... Is the crypto world about to follow the stock market to its demise again?

Oh no, it's going to fall again. Political struggles feed institutional profit-taking, and we retail investors can only watch in vain.

Powell's latest move is a direct attack, isn't it a bit too harsh... The stock market immediately crashes, and our crypto circle still has to follow along and lag behind.
