Why Jerome Powell’s speech at the Economic Symposium is key to Bitcoin
The US Stock Market’s summer rally ended with the Federal Reserve chair’s hawkish comments at the central bank’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole. Jerome Powell, the US Federal Reserve chair reiterated that fighting inflation is the Fed’s top priority and that even if some “pain” is required, the central bank would continue raising interest rates.
The hawkish commentary from the central bank resulted in a decline in top US stock indices and triggered a bloodbath in crypto. Tech heavy Nasdaq and Bitcoin, the digital asset that enjoys high correlation with tech stocks, declined nearly 6% in the same period.
The Federal Reserve’s key message was that “Aggressive economic policy from the central bank will help curb inflation,” and this is one of the key causes of the Bitcoin price decline this week. Wary investors have pulled capital out of speculative and volatile assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum and meme coins Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.
Wall Street analysts believe Bitcoin price has hit its bottom at $19,590, in the bloodbath triggered by Powell’s speech. While market watchers feared a steep decline in Bitcoin, amid bleeding stocks, analysts are now convinced the decline in Bitcoin price has reached an end.
