Brothers, tonight is destined to be sleepless!
Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will speak at 2 AM on July 22 in the East 8 Time Zone, and the global financial market holds its breath. As a veteran in the crypto world, Aiers must highlight for you in advance - this guy’s words can cause Bitcoin to fluctuate 6% in a single day, and Ethereum to spike or drop by a thousand points! But don’t panic; after reading this, you will understand how to respond better than 90% of the retail investors!
Why can Powell's speech overturn the crypto world? Historical script review
'Verbal market crash' specialist:
In April this year, one sentence from Old Powell, 'The Federal Reserve will never touch Bitcoin,' caused Bitcoin (BTC) to plunge 5% instantly, breaking through the 100,000 dollar mark.
But shortly after, the narrative changed - in May he changed his tone and said, 'Banks can provide compliant services to crypto clients,' and the price of coins instantly bounced back to 84,000 dollars! Conclusion: This old man plays with expectations, bad news fully released is good news!
Interest rate hikes and cuts = life and death symbols in the crypto world:
In March, he hinted at 'possible interest rate cuts,' and institutional funds immediately rushed into Bitcoin ETFs, buying 130,000 BTC in a single week.
Conversely, if hawkish (such as raising interest rates), ETH will immediately break below the 3700 support. Core logic: Easy and brutal - liquidity = coin price rises, draining liquidity = coin price falls!
Predictions for tonight's three highlights
Highlight 1: Interest rate barometer
If he hints at rate cuts (40% probability): Institutions are ready! MicroStrategy has 4.2 billion dollars waiting for bottom fishing, BlackRock ETF saw an inflow of 1.18 billion dollars in a single day. Action: If Bitcoin stabilizes above 110,000 dollars, increase positions, targeting previous high of 130,000!
If he stubbornly raises interest rates (30% probability): Don't be afraid of a short-term correction! Keep an eye on the iron bottom of 107,320 dollars; the probability of breaking is very low (whales on-chain have been holding for 3 months without selling). Action: Place a limit order at 107,500 dollars to catch the spike!
Highlight 2: Can banks play with crypto openly?
In May, Powell eased and said 'banks can serve crypto clients,' and JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs quietly planned custody businesses. If there’s another green light tonight, it’s directly beneficial for compliant targets like Coinbase and Grayscale! Ambush strategy: Watch $COIN stock price closely before the US stock market opens, any unusual movement is a signal!
Highlight 3: Stablecoin regulatory bomb
Old Powell has recently been pushing (stablecoin legislation), requiring '100% reserve + real-time auditing.'
If the details come through tonight:
Bad news for junk stablecoins (especially algorithmically pegged), beware of explosions!
Favorable for USDC, DAI (already compliant), prioritize them for bottom fishing and repositioning!
Aiers' exclusive survival guide
Position firewall:
50% of the base position is to hold tight (don't easily exit in a bull market)
30% of flexible funds are waiting for a correction, buy in batches in the 107,000-110,000 dollar range
20% in USDT ready to buy panic sells (Remember: When others are fearful, you should be greedy!)
Leverage must-die mantra:
Before Powell’s speech, clear all leverage!
Spike liquidation volume > 100 million dollars, reverse order win rate doubled!
(Last week's peak of 120,000 dollars, 744 million in leverage vanished)
Direction for copying homework:
Institutional favorites: Bitcoin Spot ETF (IBIT), Ethereum Staking Leader (LIDO)
Policy immunity king: BTC halving concept mining companies (RIOT), compliant stablecoins (USDC)
Absolutely avoid: high-leverage MEME coins, exchange platform tokens (policy minefields)
Conclusion: Crisis = wealth reshuffling; wise ones sit tight on their fishing platforms!
Powell's speech is not the end of the world, but an opportunity detector! Remember three points, folks:
Bad news hitting the ground = good news (30% increase after April’s crash)
Institutional cost line = retail investor safety belt (MicroStrategy's holding cost is 89,000 dollars, what’s there to fear?)
