Each statement – whether it is an official speech, a press conference following an FOMC meeting, or a media interview – can shift market expectations. On Binance, these announcements often lead to:
Volatility spikes on BTC, ETH, SOL, and other major cryptos.
Trend changes within minutes.
Massive increases or decreases in trading volumes.
