According to BlockBeats, on August 25, the U.S. food industry, which heavily relies on imports, is seeking tariff exemptions; otherwise, rising prices may push up inflation. At this time, Trump's significant tariff increases have highlighted the industry's vulnerabilities. The market is also focused on the Federal Reserve's September meeting, where Chairman Powell suggested that weak employment may justify interest rate cuts, leading investors to generally expect a 25 basis point cut. Historical data shows that interest rate cuts after prolonged stagnation benefit the stock market, but the price pressures from tariffs may offset some of the easing effects.
In the cryptocurrency market, ETH has reached new highs driven by optimistic sentiment, and the liquidation heatmap shows strong support in the 4,600–4,650 range, with liquidity concentrated at 4,850–4,880 above.
Bitunix Analyst Suggests:
The United States has entered a phase of policy tug-of-war between 'interest rate cuts' and 'tariff inflation.' If food prices continue to rise, the Federal Reserve's room for easing may be limited. Investors should pay attention to changes in PCE and non-farm data. Short-term sentiment is bullish, but in the medium term, caution is needed as the benefits of interest rate cuts may be offset by inflation. ETH should watch for support at 4,600–4,650 and resistance at 4,850–5,000.
