#PowellRemarks Market Shakes, Crypto Stays Cool?
Every time Jerome Powell speaks, the markets hold their breath. And today was no different. The latest remarks from the Fed signal a “wait and see” approach on interest rates — but inflation concerns still linger in the background.
The impact?
BTC saw a mild correction but is still holding above key support.
Altcoins followed, but volume doesn't show major panic selling.
U.S. stock indices are mixed — the market’s still craving clarity.
What does it mean for us, crypto traders?
Powell didn’t mention crypto directly, but every hawkish or dovish tone can be a catalyst. High interest rates = tighter money = risk assets (like crypto) stay sensitive.
Strategy?
1. Stay alert to macro events — FOMC, CPI, NFP, etc.
2. Avoid FOMO — volatility means opportunity and traps.
3. Use these moments to scale in/out, not go all-in.
If the market gets scared, we don’t panic — we adapt.
