Powell’s Speech Sends Markets Tumbling — What’s Next for Crypto?

#PowellRemarks #RateCutExpectations

As Fed Chair Jerome Powell highlighted the economic risks stemming from Trump-era tariff policies, U.S. stocks took a dive — the Dow dropped 700 points, the S&P 500 fell 2.5%, and the Nasdaq slid 3.5%. Powell warned of “fundamental policy changes” putting the Fed in unfamiliar territory, raising concerns about inflation, unemployment, and growth all moving in the wrong direction.

So what does this mean for crypto?

With rising uncertainty in traditional markets and a possible pause or reversal in rate hikes, investors may turn to alternative assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. A dovish Fed could weaken the dollar — historically a bullish signal for crypto.

But it’s not all green candles. Regulatory headwinds and global economic tensions still cast shadows over the long-term outlook.

Short-term:

Increased volatility across risk assets

BTC/ETH could attract safe-haven flows

Altcoins remain vulnerable

Long-term:

If the Fed eases policy amid stagflation fears, crypto could emerge as a preferred hedge — but policy clarity remains key.
