About this episode
This episode discusses Bitcoin's market response to Jerome Powell's departure from the Federal Reserve and the implications for global markets.
Ep192 Bitcoin enters May with momentum as price action pushes toward a major weekly close near $79K, ETF inflows surge, and institutional demand refuses to cool. But the headline shock of the week is Jerome Powell’s departure from the Federal Reserve — a move that injects fresh uncertainty into global markets and reshapes expectations for liquidity, rates, and risk assets. In this episode, we break down how Bitcoin reacted to the Fed shake‑up, why ETF flows remain a powerful tailwind, what’s driving renewed regulatory momentum in Washington, and how geopolitical tensions — from the Iran conflict to shifting macro sentiment — continue to influence the broader market. Episode 192 blends macro upheaval with on‑chain reality to show where Bitcoin stands as the financial narrative pivots once again.
