BREAKING: Fed Chair Powell Considers Shock Resignation – Markets Brace for Impact
Jerome Powell's potential exit sends tremors through Wall Street
The most powerful banker in the world might be walking away. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is reportedly weighing resignation—just as the economy teeters between inflation and recession.
Why this matters now
With rate decisions hanging in the balance, Powell's departure could trigger unprecedented market volatility. Crypto traders are already positioning for chaos—because nothing pumps altcoins like good old-fashioned institutional uncertainty.
The Powell Put expires?
Markets have grown addicted to the Fed's safety net. A leadership vacuum could force traders to finally price risk honestly—or more likely, send them scrambling for decentralized alternatives.

Political momentum builds for rate cut policy shift
The timing aligns with growing political pressure to slash interest rates. President TRUMP recently called for the Fed Funds Rate to be reduced from 4.25%–4.5% to a much looser 1.25%–1.5% range. Market observers believe Powell’s resignation would allow Trump to appoint a replacement more aligned with that policy vision.

What’s next?
The Federal Reserve has not issued a formal comment on Powell’s status. However, growing rumors and supportive remarks from high-level housing officials suggest the resignation could come as early as next week. If confirmed, the move WOULD mark a dramatic turn in U.S. monetary policy heading into the final stretch of 2025.
