A statement from the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, that interest rate cuts may be delayed due to continued inflation above the target, and that the US economy is still strong.

💵 Movement of the US Dollar Index (DXY)
After the Federal Reserve's statements, the dollar index rose sharply, which typically puts pressure on the crypto market as it reduces investment attractiveness.
📊 Negative economic data for China
It was announced that China's industrial production growth declined more than expected, causing global concerns about demand and emerging markets.
