Powell's press conference: tough talk, but with hidden meanings
This old man had a hawkish demeanor throughout, but upon closer inspection, there are three key pieces of information:
"Not in a hurry to cut rates": The original words were "Policy has been moderately restrictive, but inflation remains high", which translates to "Don’t dream, retail investors" in plain language.
"Tariffs are an inflation bomb": Directly pointed out Trump's tariff policy, stating that once inventory is digested, inflation could explode again.
"The labor market is still tight": The unemployment rate is stuck at 4.2%, non-farm data exceeded expectations, rate cuts? No excuses.
Impact on the crypto market: liquidity expectations have collapsed, but don’t panic!
Short-term negative impact: delayed rate cuts = tightening of US dollar liquidity, especially affecting altcoins. High beta assets like XRP and SOL could drop another 10%-15%.
