#PowellRemarks

The markets continue to absorb the shock from #PowellsRemarks, where the Fed Chair cautiously stated that rate cuts are "not yet appropriate" despite signs of economic slowdown. His tone was measured, but the market heard the message loud and clear: the Fed is more concerned about inflation re-igniting than short-term pain. Stocks slipped into a slow bleed, crypto followed suit with Ethereum and Bitcoin dipping, while oil surged due to escalating geopolitical risks. Traders are left navigating an environment where uncertainty is the only certainty. Powell’s words may have been neutral, but their impact is decisively bearish for risk assets this week. This isn’t just about interest rates—it’s about confidence, liquidity, and the growing disconnect between market hopes and policy reality. Smart money is shifting quietly, while retail sentiment swings violently. In times like these, patience and timing become the most powerful assets you can hold.
