Trump vs. Powell ⚔️⚔️

Trump is calling for immediate rate cuts. In a post this morning, he listed falling energy prices, lower inflation, and even cheaper eggs as reasons for Fed Chair, Powell to act now.

CUT INTEREST RATES, JEROME, AND STOP PLAYING POLITICS!

👎 Powell pushed back. He warned that Trump’s new tariffs are larger than expected and will likely raise inflation and slow growth.

This isn’t just a policy disagreement. Trump needs lower rates to refinance debt ASAP. A mild economy slowdown helps that case.

🤬 Powell knows it. But he’s making it clear — if inflation risks go up, cuts are off the table.

World's top 500 richest people have lost around half a trillion dollars in past two days 💸

Elon Musk is down $110 billion since the start of the year 😢

Speaking of that, guess which of the 4 people listed in the picture didn't attend Trump's inauguration 😏

🤑 If I gave you $1,000,000 but you had to put it all into just ONE stock or crypto token and hold it for the next year with no selling, what would you pick?

Today is Satoshi Nakamoto’s birthday 🎉

According to his profile on the P2P Foundation forum, the creator of Bitcoin listed April 5, 1975 as his date of birth. Whether it’s real or not doesn’t matter. The symbolism is the story 😏

📆 On April 5, 1933, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, banning private ownership of gold in the U.S. Citizens were forced to hand it over to the government — a move meant to fight the Great Depression, but one that deeply reshaped monetary freedom.

That ban stayed in place for over 40 years. It was finally lifted on December 31, 1974. The very next day, Americans could legally own gold again. That year — 1975 — is the one Satoshi chose as his birth year.

🤑 Bitcoin wasn’t just about creating digital money. It was about rethinking control over money itself. And this “birthday” lines up perfectly with that mission.

Credit risk is spiking 😥

The CDX High Yield CDS index just hit 457 bps — the highest level since the 2023 Regional Bank Crisis 📊

🔍 Markets are clearly pricing in serious credit stress. This isn’t just noise. A move like this usually signals that institutions are bracing for defaults, liquidity problems, or some macroeconomic shock.

When CDS spreads move this fast it whales are hedging risks. Something is braking, we just don’t know what — yet 👀

unless the trade deficit is "solved".

No pivot. No mercy 😱

Watching your portfolio drop sucks, it’s easy to get stuck in your own head 😏

🙅‍♂️ That “I should’ve sold” voice kicks in fast. It just makes things worse.

What helps — is staying calm, being grateful you’re still in the game, and knowing this isn’t the last chance.

Take a break. Clear your head. The market isn’t going anywhere 😌

What the Fed Can Do When Markets Get Shaky 🛠

Today, the Fed is holding a closed-door meeting to review interest rates for regional banks. This comes days after Trump announced new import tariffs, raising concerns about growth and inflation. If pressure builds, the Fed has several tools to act 🔧

In times like this, the Fed doesn’t just observe. It acts. And it has specific tools to cool down or stimulate the economy. Knowing how they work helps you understand what might come next and how markets could react 👇

💲Federal Funds Rate
This is the base rate for overnight lending between banks. It influences rates on mortgages, credit cards, business loans, and savings accounts. A 0.25% move here can ripple across the entire economy.

💲Open Market Operations
The Fed buys or sells Treasuries to manage short-term liquidity. Buying bonds injects dollars into the system, lowers yields, and eases credit. Selling bonds withdraws liquidity, pushing rates higher. It’s the primary tool for steering interest rates.

💲Reserve Requirements
This is the percentage of customer deposits banks must hold in cash. Increasing it reduces the funds banks can lend. Lowering it expands credit supply (right now it's 0% for all depository institutions, lol). Though rarely changed, it has a powerful direct impact on lending capacity.

EU offers zero tariffs… while preparing to strike back 👀

After Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff blitz, the EU is offering the White House a choice: zero-for-zero industrial tariffs — or a full-on trade war, potentially imposing 25% tariff on US goods.

🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen says Europe is “ready for a good deal,” proposing to eliminate duties on chemicals, autos, and machinery if the US does the same. But behind the scenes, EU members are already reviewing a list of counter-tariffs set to launch in two waves — starting April 15.

Markets felt the tension. The STOXX Europe 600 opened down 6% on before closing 2.9% lower. Traders are now watching for a potential escalation as EU retaliation targets everything from bourbon to steel 📉

The Trump administration has disbanded the Justice Department’s crypto enforcement team, telling prosecutors to stop targeting exchanges, mixers, and wallets 👋

It’s the clearest sign yet that Trump is serious about rolling back crypto regulation — not just at the SEC, but across the entire government. The focus now shifts to punishing scammers, not platforms 🔍

Bullish for the mass adoption of crypto!

It looks like the WorldLiberty team just pulled the classic move we all know too well: buy high, sell low 😁

💸 They offloaded 5,471 ETH at $1,465 after they bought 67,498 ETH at around $3,259.

That is a $125 million loss, and it shows that even the big players stumble into the same pitfalls as the rest of us. Maybe we are not so different after all 🤔

Trump says China has "ripped us off left and right. But now it's our turn to do the rippin". The trade war escalates 😳

Trump signed off on 104% tariffs on Chinese goods — the most aggressive hike yet. The move went into effect at midnight and has already triggered retaliation 👇

😡 China fired back fast: 84% tariffs on US imports, plus new orders from its central bank telling state-owned banks to cut dollar purchases.

🤬 Even inside the US, the rift is growing. Elon Musk publicly slammed Trump adviser Peter Navarro, calling him a “moron.” Navarro fired back, dismissing Musk as a mere “car assembler.”

😈 Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent brushed off the escalation, saying “so what” to China's response. He also hinted that delisting Chinese stocks from US exchanges is now on the table.

We continue to watch the situation unfold, and so far it looks devastating for both sides, with each considering the other to be retarded 🤦

Crypto pumps on Trump’s tariff twist 🔼

After Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs (lowering them to 10%), over $3.5 trillion flooded into the US stock market 📈

🤑 Bitcoin and other crypto assets followed as investors rotated into risk-on assets.

🗣 Trump says this is part of a “targeted” trade war against China, not a full retreat. Tariffs on Chinese goods were hiked to 125% effective immediately.

According to Treasury Sec. Bessent, the timing was intentional. No panic — just strategy 🧠

Has Bitcoin Peaked Yet? These 3 Indicators Say No 😏

While sentiment is heating up, data says the current cycle still has room to run 👇

📊 Bitcoin Long-Term Holder Supply

The lower this number, the closer we are to the top. Right now it sits at 14.59 million BTC. Danger starts when it drops below 13.5 million BTC, it means long-term holders begin exiting.

📊 Bitcoin Bubble Index

This index measures speculative behavior. It currently reads 13.48. Historically, tops occur when it pushes above 80, signaling peak euphoria.

📊 Bitcoin MVRV Ratio

The ratio between market value and realized value. It’s at 1.95 now. A value over 3.0 has often marked the final stage of bull markets.

After Trump announced a 90-day pause on new tariffs, the US market had its third-best day since 1990. Major indexes jumped over 7% in a single session. But history says: be careful 😨

🗓 These massive one-day rallies tend to happen during the worst possible times — not in healthy markets, but during bear markets, crashes, and financial crises.

The chart shows it clearly: almost every time the market surged 7–8% in one day, it made new lows shortly after. In some cases, within 24 hours.

Big green candles feel good. But in volatile regimes, they’re often just dead cat bounces 🐈‍⬛

Will this time be different? Or is the real pain still ahead?

7 years later. Same coin. Same price 😭

In January 2018, at the peak of the bull market, Ethereum hit $1,450, now — it’s back to the same price level.

🙁 Not during a bear market but in the middle of a supposedly bullish cycle. And that’s before adjusting for inflation — which means long-term holders are actually underwater in real terms.

It’s not just about the number. It’s about the underperformance. If you had bought Bitcoin at the same 2018 peak, you’d be up over 300% today ❤️

Do you still believe ETH has a chance for comeback?

Same NFT. Almost for the same ETH amount. Just $10 million less 🤣

Why Bond Yields Matter More Than You Think 💲

Most traders ignore the bond market. Big mistake! If you want to understand where the economy is headed — or what’s really driving risk assets like crypto — you need to watch yields 📊

💸 Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions. When investors buy bonds, prices go up and yields fall.

When they sell bonds, prices drop and yields rise. A spike in yield means investors are dumping government debt — usually because they want higher returns or see rising risks.

🔍 Recently, the 10-year US Treasury yield jumped sharply, from 3.88% to over 4.5% in just a few days. That kind of move in bonds is rare and serious.

It suggests that the market is losing confidence in the stability of US debt or expecting inflation to stay high 😱

If large bondholders like China are selling, it's likely to be a response to rising trade tensions and Trump's tariffs.

Higher yields mean higher borrowing costs for the US government, tighter credit, and more pressure on the Fed. And when the bond market breaks — everything else does too.

This surge in yields also breaks Trump’s plan to refinance US debt at lower rates 🫤
