The White House is about to hold an inauguration ceremony for the new Federal Reserve head, Kevin Warsh, a personnel change that many in the market have long anticipated.
According to many market viewpoints, the reputation and credibility of the agency were significantly impacted during the predecessor's term, and the market generally expects the new manager to bring about a fresh change. Warsh's core objective in taking over is to reshape the overall operational framework of the Federal Reserve. Throughout his twenty years in the industry, his economic regulation ideas have remained coherent and clear, taking office with mature planning.
However, the Federal Reserve has a fixed operating system and rules for discussion, and how many subsequent reform measures can be implemented will depend on the attitudes of various parties within, which will directly determine the overall direction of future monetary regulation. What everyone is most concerned about is how this personnel change will actually impact the price of Bitcoin.
1. Policy Style Adjustment: Three Core Ideas Influencing Market Trends
Warsh's regulatory approach is not extreme; it presents a combination of loose and tight features. The three core propositions will profoundly influence market trends.
Tendency to moderately lower interest rates He advocates adjusting interest rates to a reasonable range that suits the market, aligning with the current market anticipation of a rate cut. Although the expectation of a rate cut may provide positive support for asset prices, the current price data does not support a significant rate cut. Based on related statistical research, most industry judgments suggest that it is very unlikely to see a rate cut within this year, with benefits mostly remaining at the expectation level.
Advancement in reducing the balance sheet This is also an easily overlooked tightening action in the current policy adjustment. According to his thoughts, the Federal Reserve's large balance sheet will further contract. A rate cut will lower short-term interest rates, while reducing the balance sheet will raise long-term interest rates, creating a divergence in interest rate trends. The price trend of Bitcoin is more closely related to the Federal Reserve's balance sheet size. Even with a slight rate cut, if combined with a large-scale balance sheet reduction, overall market liquidity will still tend to tighten.
Weakening policy transparency Warsh does not recognize the current expectation guidance model and suggests eliminating related reference charts and reducing the frequency of meetings. In his view, policy uncertainty itself is also a form of regulation.
Moving forward, the market will find it difficult to rely on past patterns to predict trends, and overall market volatility will continue to increase. Bitcoin, which is inherently highly volatile, will also face more unstable factors.
2. Historical Patterns of Leadership Changes Indicate General Asset Declines After Each Transition
Reviewing past transitions of Federal Reserve heads, notable price correction trends have appeared. Early on, after Yellen took office, the price of Bitcoin fell sharply; during Powell's two terms, the price of Bitcoin also saw significant declines, with the U.S. stock market showing a downward trend simultaneously.
According to past patterns, U.S. Treasury yields typically rise within three months after a new head takes office. If historical trends repeat, long-term U.S. Treasury yields will continue to rise, maintaining downward pressure on Bitcoin.
3. Current Market Fund Dynamics Have Already Reacted Early
The attitude of the interest rate market has clearly shifted, with little to no change in interest rates expected in the short term. Earlier market optimism regarding rate cuts has significantly cooled, while the possibility of future rate hikes continues to rise, in stark contrast to expectations for easing.
The Treasury market has also issued warning signals, with long-term bond yields reaching new highs in recent years. Experienced market participants warn that if yields continue to break through key thresholds, various risk assets will face substantial pressure.
Currently, Bitcoin continues to decline, setting the longest consecutive down period in months. The stock and bond markets show clear contrasting movements as overall capital withdraws from riskier categories.
4. Layering the Actual Impact Brought by the New Head
In the short term, expectations of rate cuts may boost market sentiment, presenting opportunities for slight rebounds; in the medium term, the implementation of balance sheet reduction and rising rates will tighten market liquidity, becoming a norm of pressure on trends; in the long term, increasing difficulty in policy prediction will elevate market volatility, gradually deteriorating the overall trading environment.
5. Overall Market Summary
This personnel change does not represent the realization of positive factors but rather signifies the solidification of market uncertainty. Moving forward, there is a high probability of verbal signals indicating easing while actual practices tighten.
In relation to Bitcoin, which is currently in a downward phase, a technical rebound may occur in the short term due to the news of the personnel change. However, from a medium-to-long-term perspective, liquidity contraction and increased market volatility will continue to suppress price performance.
A new era of monetary regulation has already arrived, with divergent interest rate trends, intensified market fluctuations, and difficulty in predicting policies likely becoming the norm. Considering various factors, this change is unlikely to spark a new round of upward trends, further solidifying the overall weak medium-term pattern.
