Analyst: This market crash does not imply a long-term bearish outlook or fundamental deterioration
PANews, October 12—According to Cointelegraph, investment analyst Kobeissi Letter stated that Friday's sudden market crash caused some cryptocurrencies to plunge by 95% in less than 24 hours, but this does not indicate a long-term bearish outlook or a deterioration in fundamentals.
The analyst wrote that Friday's market crash was triggered by a series of short-term factors, including "excessive leverage and risk," as well as U.S. President Donald Trump announcing a 100% tariff on China. There was a significant long bias in the market, with long positions liquidated amounting to $16.7 billion, while short positions liquidated were only $2.5 billion, a ratio close to 7:1.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
