#PowellRemarks

*Jerome Powell*, Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, often gives *remarks during or after FOMC meetings*. His comments have a big impact on global markets, including crypto.

Common Topics He Covers:

- *Interest Rates:* Whether the Fed will raise, cut, or hold

- *Inflation:* How fast prices are rising and what the Fed plans to do

- *Economic Outlook:* Growth, jobs, recession risks

- *Monetary Policy Direction:* Hawkish (tight) or dovish (loose)

Why It Matters for Crypto:

- *Hawkish tone (rate hikes)* = bearish for crypto (risk-off mood)

- *Dovish tone (rate cuts/stable)* = bullish for crypto (more liquidity)

Example (June 2025 – hypothetical tone):

- If Powell says inflation is easing and rate cuts are likely → BTC may pump

- If he warns inflation is sticky and rates will stay high → BTC may dip
