#PowellRemarks is usually associated with public statements or speeches by Jerome Powell, chairman of the **Federal Reserve of the United States (Fed)**, which have a strong impact on financial markets, including cryptocurrencies.
Why are Powell's statements important for cryptocurrencies?
The Fed's monetary policies influence:
-Global liquidity (greater flexibility = more capital at risk, benefits Bitcoin and altcoins).
-Interest rates (if they rise, investors may prefer bonds over risk assets like cryptos).
-Inflation and the dollar (DXY) – If the Fed is "hawkish" (restrictive policies), the dollar usually strengthens, putting pressure on BTC and the crypto market.
Possible scenarios after #PowellRemarks
1.Fed Dovish (flexible or rate cuts) → 🚀 Rise in Bitcoin and altcoins (more cheap money seeks returns).
2.Fed "Hawkish" (rate hikes or QT - Quantitative Tightening)→ 📉 Downward pressure on cryptos (less appetite for risk assets).
3.Neutral (no significant changes) → The market reacts to other macro factors.
