🔴 US Federal Reserve Chair Race 🏛🇺🇸

📣 As the decision date approaches, all eyes are on the name that will lead monetary policy in the coming phase:

🥇 Front-runners:

• Kevin Warsh - Former Federal Reserve member, inclined towards a hawkish stance against inflation and enjoys strong momentum within the markets.

• Kevin Hassett - Former economic advisor at the White House, close to decision-making circles and leans towards more flexible policies to support growth.

🥈 Moderate chances:

• Christopher Waller - Current Federal Reserve member and an influential voice in monetary policy.

• Michelle Bowman - Banking and regulatory experience but has less political support.

🥉 Long shots:

• Names currently outside the final circle, with the exclusion of (⚠️Jerome Powell) as a new option.

🏆 The race is largely confined between Warsh and Hassett, and any choice will directly impact interest rates, the dollar, gold, and global markets$BTC

📉 موجة بيع حادة تضرب أسواق العملات الرقمية وتؤدي إلى خسارة أكثر من 136 مليار دولار من القيمة السوقية خلال وقت قصير، في ظل تصاعد التقلبات وضعف السيولة.

🔻 البيتكوين يتراجع دون مستوى 87 ألف دولار، متأثرًا بعمليات تصفية ضخمة برافعة مالية، وهو ما يعكس استمرار المخاطر المرتفعة في السوق، خاصة مع اعتماد عدد كبير من المتداولين على الرافعة.

📊 التراجعات لم تقتصر على البيتكوين فقط، إذ شهدت معظم العملات الرقمية الكبرى ضغوطًا بيعية واضحة، مع تحذيرات من أن انخفاض عمق السوق يجعل الأسعار أكثر حساسية لأي تحركات مفاجئة.

⚠️ محللون يرون أن السيولة أصبحت العامل الرئيسي وراء هذه التحركات، وليس حالة الذعر، ما يفتح الباب أمام مزيد من التذبذب خلال الفترة المقبلة$BTC

🔴 U.S. Treasury Secretary, Yellen, has called for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress.

🔴 Kevin Warsh is the frontrunner to succeed Jerome Powell

✅ Kevin Warsh, the former governor of the Federal Reserve, has become the frontrunner on the Polymarket platform to replace Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve.

📌Impact of the news: Warsh is often seen as adopting a more hawkish stance than Powell, or at least favoring a more transparent and disciplined policy. This expectation could temporarily boost the US dollar (USD) due to expectations of higher interest rates for a longer period, and could exert negative pressure on stock and bond markets.

📊 The American labor market under the microscope!

Investors around the world are awaiting the employment report, amid a clear slowdown in the pace of jobs over the past few months. Recent data has shown a divergence in the American labor market, with modest job growth and rising unemployment rates, increasing concerns about the impact on the decisions of the American Federal Reserve and interest rates.

Analysts' forecasts indicate the addition of about 50,000 jobs only in November, with wage growth of 0.3% and an increase in unemployment to 4.5%, reflecting the continued weakness in employment. Stronger-than-expected results could support holding interest rates steady, while weaker results would increase bets on lowering them, which will directly affect the dollar, stock markets, gold, and cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.

Investors are closely monitoring any signals from the November report, as the American labor market remains the most influential factor on global market movements in the coming weeks, with varying expectations about the strength of the American economy and its ability to withstand high interest rates.

🛢️ Oil rebounds after sharp losses… tensions with Venezuela support prices
