# **FOMC Decision & Powell’s Speech: A Crucial Moment for Crypto**
Today, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve as it announces its latest interest rate decision, with a 98% probability indicating no change. However, the real market driver will be Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference.
With key economic indicators—such as the declining Core PPI—suggesting easing inflation, investors are eager to see if the Fed’s stance might shift in the near future. Powell’s tone and outlook will be critical, especially amid heightened market volatility. The recent disruptions in DeepSeek markets and broader swings across equities and digital assets make his remarks even more significant.
A **hawkish stance**, signaling prolonged high interest rates, could pressure risk assets, including crypto. On the other hand, **dovish hints** of potential rate cuts later this year could spark an altcoin rally—similar to the bullish reaction seen after the previous FOMC meeting when easing was suggested.
Beyond the rate decision, Powell’s comments could have far-reaching effects. Will he address growing demands—including from former President Donald Trump—for a more accommodative monetary policy? His guidance will play a key role in determining whether crypto markets stage a recovery or face further headwinds.
