Trump's been vocal about wanting lower rates and potentially shaking up the Fed leadership. But here's the thing—Wednesday's FOMC meeting revealed some serious cracks in the consensus. Even if he manages to get a new chair in place, it won't automatically deliver the rate cuts he's pushing for.

The divisions among Fed officials run deeper than just who's sitting at the head of the table. Hawks and doves are split on inflation risks versus growth concerns. Some members are worried about reigniting price pressures, while others see economic slowdown on the horizon.

For crypto markets, this uncertainty is a double-edged sword. Lower rates typically pump liquidity into risk assets, but a fragmented Fed creates unpredictability. Traders should watch the dot plot projections and dissenting votes closely—they're revealing more than the official statements.

Replacing the chairperson won't save the situation either; the Fed itself is a tangled mess --- Trump wants to cut interest rates madly, but the Fed folks simply don't speak the same language --- The dot plot is the real way to go; official statements are all nonsense --- Liquidity abundance is indeed beneficial for the crypto world, but I'm worried about the Fed's unpredictability --- Hawks and doves are fighting every day; how can retail investors trade... --- Raise or cut interest rates? That's the key to affecting the market, not changing personnel --- The FOMC is so divided; hoping that a new chairperson will rescue the market is just wishful thinking --- In the crypto world, looking at this doesn't really help; what's crucial is how US economic data will develop --- It would be strange not to be divided; inflation and recession are inherently opposed --- Expecting low interest rates is the only thing we can rely on; everything else is superficial

Fed replacement is useless; the real key is the ongoing clash between hawks and doves. Everyone wants to cut rates, but no one dares to gamble on inflation risks. For our crypto circle, it all depends on whether liquidity will come or not. The dot plot and dissenting votes are the real intelligence; 99% of what the officials say is nonsense. A divided Fed is more annoying than a purely hawkish one; at least with hawks, you can guess the direction. Trump trying to influence the Federal Reserve? Haha, this time reality has taught him a lesson. Next week's movement entirely depends on guesses, but one thing's for sure: you can't fully trust what the chairman says.

Changing the chairman can't save it either; the Federal Reserve is too deeply divided.

Here we go again with the 2018 script, a bunch of people arguing above, while retail investors below shake dice. Can changing the Fed Chair really cut interest rates? I've been through this, it's all nonsense.

The Fed internal strife, huh? Changing the chairman with Trump won't help; the real issue is the hawk-dove disagreement. The dot plot is the truth; the official statements are all nonsense. This crypto rally is just relying on them hampering each other. LOL. Are rate cut expectations cooling down? Liquidity will still come; don't panic. The Fed's division is actually an opportunity for us; uncertainty = arbitrage space.

Changing the Fed Chair is pointless; these officials are too divided internally.

Changing the chairman won't help; the Fed is still in disarray internally.

The internal conflict within the Fed is so severe that replacing the chairperson won't save it. The crypto circle is going to suffer.
