Attention everyone! Tonight (August 22), global markets are reaching a critical juncture, especially at 22:00 when Federal Reserve Chairman Powell speaks, which is definitely a main event! Although he doesn't directly mention crypto, experienced players know—when macro policy shifts, the crypto market will definitely react!
First, let's look at the core events:
1️⃣ Powell's speech (22:00)
When he speaks, global funds tremble! If he sends "hawkish" (tightening) signals, the market may come under short-term pressure, and funds could flow to conservative assets; if he is "dovish" (loose or stable), risk assets (including crypto) could take off! Remind everyone to keep an eye on the market tonight, volatility may intensify!
2️⃣ Hang Seng Index quarterly review results (released on August 16)
The adjustment of Hong Kong stock index constituents has been implemented last week, which will impact fund allocation in the medium to long term. If high-quality technology companies are newly included, it may boost market sentiment and indirectly benefit risk assets.
3️⃣ Economic data from multiple countries will be released successively
UK consumer confidence, Japan's CPI, Germany's GDP, and other data may seem unrelated to the cryptocurrency market, but they actually affect global capital flows. For example, if the Eurozone economy exceeds expectations, a stronger Euro may suppress the dollar, which is a short-term benefit for dollar-denominated assets like Bitcoin.
4️⃣ Canadian retail data (20:30) & US oil rig count (01:00 next day)
Energy prices and consumption data directly affect inflation expectations, which in turn influence the Federal Reserve's policy rhythm. If oil prices continue to rise and inflation expectations increase, it may prompt the Federal Reserve to lean more "hawkish"—you understand the chain reaction!
President's exclusive advice:
Short-term volatility is inevitable, long-term holders do not need to overreact. Macro events influence sentiment, but what truly determines value is the underlying technology and application ecosystem.
If Powell's "dovish" stance prevails, risk assets may rebound; if hawkish, pay attention to opportunities for positioning during pullbacks.
Remember: "Buy the expectation, sell the fact"! The market often reacts in advance of significant events, so avoid blindly chasing highs and cutting losses.
Today, the market is bound to be turbulent, and opportunities often hide within the volatility. The key is to respond rationally—control your positions, avoid going all in, and stay calm. Experienced investors have weathered even greater storms, staying steady is how you win in the end!
