After a Bitcoin Pullback, Market Awaits Fed's Powell Speech This Friday
BlockBeats News, August 19th, according to Forbes, analyst Ryan Rabaglia stated that due to Bitcoin's recent pullback, "everyone" will be watching Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech on Friday, August 22nd, to look for clues about the central bank officials' policy direction at the September meeting.
Ryan Rabaglia, General Partner at Rise Capital Venture Capital Fund, said: "With some mainstream coins hitting or approaching all-time highs, there has been a significant profit-taking. There is a key event this week—the Jackson Hole Summit—and all eyes will be on it. In past summits, we have seen the Fed Chairman take decisive action, even hinting explicitly at a rate hike or cut, and this time he is also expected to clearly indicate a stance. This summit will set the stage for action in September, with the market currently generally expecting a 25 basis point rate cut."
Analyst Bruni stated, "If comments this week suggest that there will be no rate cut in September, Bitcoin may continue to be under pressure, and traders will focus on the 200-day moving average approaching $100,000 as the next key support level."
