Fed Independence Shock: Allegations of Political Pressure to Cut Rates Rock Markets — USD Drops, Gold Jumps, 2 Scenarios for BTC, ETH

According to @BullTheoryio, a sitting Fed Chair has for the first time accused the President of pressuring him to cut interest rates for political reasons, tied to federal subpoenas around the Fed headquarters renovation that Powell publicly characterized as pressure to force rate cuts.

According to @BullTheoryio, markets reacted immediately with a weaker US dollar and a strong move higher in gold, reflecting concerns about policy independence and perceived easier conditions.

According to @BullTheoryio, the trading setup splits into two paths: a short-term liquidity boom where faster, politically driven cuts weaken the dollar and lift risk assets including BTC and ETH, and a longer-term credibility break where doubts about Fed independence weaken USD for longer, reduce foreign demand for Treasuries, push long-end yields higher, and lift inflation expectations.

According to @BullTheoryio, the 1970s Nixon–Burns precedent showed short-term market gains followed by double-digit inflation and, later, Volcker’s near-20 percent rates and recession—highlighting the risk that political pressure can cause near-term rallies but long-term damage.
