Precious Metals Explode, Powell’s Last Stand, and What Comes Next for Markets & Crypto | Money Moves
Wed Feb 04 2026
In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell unpack a historic week across financial markets, with explosive moves in precious metals, shifting crypto momentum, and major implications from the latest Federal Reserve meeting.
The conversation opens with gold, silver, and copper posting eye-opening gains, raising questions about whether this move is driven by fear, inflation hedging, or simple under-allocation from institutional investors. Matty and Ryan break down why metals often surge quietly before becoming headline news—and why silver’s volatility is not for the faint of heart.
They dive into the post-FOMC landscape, Jerome Powell’s comments, and the significance of President Trump officially nominating the next Fed Chair. The discussion explores how political pressure, rate expectations, and liquidity cycles influence everything from housing to risk assets.
Crypto also takes center stage as the guys explain why Bitcoin and digital assets often act as real-time sentiment indicators and how regulatory clarity could unlock a new wave of institutional capital.
The episode wraps with insights on earnings season, portfolio reallocations, and why disciplined investors focus less on headlines and more on positioning, patience, and long-term trends.
