🚨 U.S. DOLLAR IS COLLAPSING IN REAL TIME!!🇺🇸
The DOJ just filed criminal charges against Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
This is the most consequential shift in American monetary governance since 1913.
Most people won’t realize what changed this week until months from now.
Powell says the DOJ probe is a direct consequence of not cutting rates when Trump wanted.
This is an open war now.
And it's very bad for risk assets.
For 113 years, Fed Chairs could defy presidents without facing prosecution.
That era ended on January 9, 2026.
Powell’s words were unambiguous:
The DOJ probe “threatens the Fed’s independence” and is directly linked to his refusal to follow Trump’s rate demands.
This is not interpretation.
Not inference.
His EXACT words.
Here’s how it goes down:
→ Dec 18, 2025: FOMC holds rates, defying Trump
→ Jan 9, 2026: DOJ serves subpoenas
→ Jan 28, 2026: Fed expected to PAUSE cuts again
→ May 2026: Powell’s term ends
21 days from rate defiance to criminal threat.
Four months until the deadline.
The renovation probe?
That’s the cover story.
The real objective is rate control.
The enforcement tool is prosecution.
If Powell caves:
Rates get cut to whatever the White House wants - and every future Fed Chair gets the message.
If Powell resists:
Prosecution, removal, replacement with someone who complies.
Either way, the outcome is the same.
Trump wants to fully control the rates.
And market understood this instantly.
S&P futures dumped.
The dollar weakened.
Gold exploded higher.
Why? Because markets are now pricing political rates instead of data-driven policy.
That means:
→ Higher term premiums
→ Massive bond volatility
→ Stress across every asset class
Risk assets might ignore this for a bit.
BUT THEY WON’T IGNORE IT FOREVER.
A hit to U.S. monetary policy is rocket fuel for hard assets - and poison for financial stability.
Watch the long end (10s/30s) when cash Treasuries reopen.
I’ve been in trading for 10+ years and I’ve called every major top and bottom.
