The upcoming leadership transition at the Federal Reserve in 2026 is poised to influence the trajectory of the cryptocurrency market. With Jerome Powell's term ending in May 2026, potential shifts in policy tone due to Trump-era appointments could affect market dynamics. Currently, the crypto market cap stands at $2.94 trillion, with prices fluctuating within a Bollinger Band range. A dovish Federal Reserve could potentially trigger a rally in the crypto markets, while a hawkish approach might lead to a deeper market pullback. Additionally, global regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and CFT are closely monitoring the market as it consolidates, awaiting a significant catalyst.
