#PowellRemarks The FED keeps interest rates unchanged.
But Jerome Powell just gave us a hint.
Altcoins. Liquidity. Timing of the bull market.
1/ The Federal Reserve has just kept interest rates at 4.25%–4.50%
This is the fourth consecutive pause, and it was expected.
Only 4 out of 19 Fed officials expect rate cuts by June 2025.
This is a message: No pivot yet.
2/ So why are there still no cuts?
Simple: Inflation is above the Fed's current target
- CPI: 2.4%
- Core CPI: 2.8%
- Fed target: 2.0%
They are not turning the money printer back on... yet.
Which means: restrictive conditions will last longer.
3/ Yes, the economy is improving and jobs are stable; growth is not collapsing.
The Fed is still worried:
• Trump tariffs
• Global tensions
• Persistent service inflation
Rate cuts are postponed for now. But they will definitely come and will follow China and Europe.
4/ So what does this mean for crypto?
It means we are entering a prolonged accumulation phase.
Not an explosive peak.
Not a collapse.
Just a quiet period where smart money accumulates while everyone else snoozes.
