#PowellRemarks : Subtle Signals Shaking the Market Direction
š June 20, 2025 ā The latest statement from The Fed Chair, Jerome Powell, has once again captured the attention of the global market. Although no interest rate decisions were announced directly, the tone and wording used by Powell in the last FOMC meeting were enough to shift the direction of stock indices, bond yields, and even crypto prices within hours. The market does not just listen ā they analyze every pause and sentence.
š The problem is, many retail investors are still misreading the direction. They focus on the headline, not the subtext. Powell did not state "pivot," but comments about inflation being "stickier than expected" and the need to "maintain policy flexibility" provide hidden hawkish signals. The result? A brief rally in crypto and stocks turned into a sharp correction ā and many traders got trapped at the peak.
š The solution: Donāt just follow the statements, understand the context and its impact. Powell's remarks are not just a speech, but a compass for the capital market. Smart traders always wait for market reactions, rather than reacting literally to Powell's words. Sentiment analysis, future CPI projections, and DXY positioning will be far more decisive for the next direction. Now is the time to prepare strategies: defensive in spots, offensive in perp ā with strict discipline.
