#美联储降息 The Federal Reserve personnel changes are here, and this time the impact could be bigger than you think.

The current Chair of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, Bostic, is set to retire at the end of February, and the board has already initiated the recruitment process for a new chair. According to the Federal Reserve Act, the regional Fed chairs are chosen by the Class B and C directors—who all come from independent backgrounds outside the financial institutions—and ultimately must be approved by the Washington Federal Reserve Board of Governors before being confirmed.

The leadership selection committee is chaired by Gregory Haile, who is also the CEO of Upwardly Global. An official statement said that the entire process will consider public opinion, so transparency is guaranteed to some extent. Changes in senior Federal Reserve personnel often influence future policy directions, making the underlying negotiations worth paying attention to.

Looking at gold now, the technical picture is indeed telling a story.

Yesterday, gold repeatedly attempted to rally but couldn't hold steady; as the New York session opened, it began to weaken and accelerated a plunge at midnight. This morning, the decline continued, and it has already fallen back below the 4300 level, showing a short-term bearish trend. The four-hour chart shows consecutive bearish candles, with the price sliding below the 20-day moving average (MA20), and hovering there—watching how it closes next; the most likely scenario is a continued downward move.

The 4300 level is a key recent resistance; its performance this afternoon is worth close monitoring. If it manages to regain the position, there's still hope; if it breaks down, the target shifts to 4270. Short-term trading advice: short at 4290/4300, with a stop-loss at 4310. If there’s an unexpected breakout, add to shorts at 4315/4320.

The Federal Reserve's personnel reshuffle makes the policy stance of the next chairman truly crucial.

Bostick has left. Can the newcomers turn the situation around? It feels like the Federal Reserve's game is becoming more and more complicated.

Bostick has retired. Will the new chairman change their stance afterward? It depends on the candidate— that's the key.

Federal Reserve personnel changes... isn't it just a change of soup without changing medicine? The system has long been dead; whoever takes over is just holding the bag. Gold breaking 4300? It should have fallen long ago, there's always a lower point waiting. Don't chase the high. See you at 4270, sell on rebound. That's the essence of trading.

The Federal Reserve personnel changes are really quite important. This time, the change of the chairperson seems to affect the subsequent pace of rate cuts.

Bostick's retirement has triggered the market to start moving impulsively again; this pattern is all too familiar.
