Powell\u2019s speech will start today at \u00a02:30pm at. Following the FOMC meeting<\/strong>, the interest rate is expected to remain in the 4.25%\u20134.50%<\/strong> range.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This expectation led to a 1.2% loss in Bitcoin and the overall crypto market. The total crypto market cap dropped approximately 1.23% to $3.29 trillion. Although the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI)<\/strong> announced in May were below expectations, the Fed maintains a cautious stance. For example, Ether fell 2.8% to $2,506.90, XRP declined 2.7% to $2.13. Cardano<\/strong> and Solana dropped 3\u20134%, Polygon decreased by 2.3%. Among meme tokens, Dogecoin lost over 3%, and $TRUMP<\/strong> declined more than 4%.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Geopolitical factors also increase volatility. The Israel\u2013Iran<\/a> tension pushed oil prices up. This situation brings inflation expectations back on the agenda, pressuring risk assets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Bitcoin, downside supports stand at $108,000<\/strong> and critical resistance is at $112,000. Analysts, especially based on CME FedWatch data, do not expect any change in interest rates.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jerome Powell to Speak Today<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite political pressure from Donald Trump<\/strong>, the FOMC meeting<\/strong> will most likely conclude without an interest rate change. Inflation rose slightly from 2.3% to 2.4% in May. This limited increase, combined with a strong labor market, strengthens the likelihood that the Fed will continue its \u201cwait and see\u201d policy. On the other hand, rising oil prices and Israel\u2013Iran<\/strong> tension indicate that inflationary pressures may increase. Jerome Powell is expected to highlight these global risks in his speech.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, stablecoin regulation<\/strong><\/a> was approved in the US Senate; however, its impact has not yet eased the market in the short term. The market remains in a waiting pattern.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin miners are also noteworthy during this period. While coping with drought and energy costs, they are known to be preparing for new demand. The US-China<\/strong> trade war and Trump tariffs<\/strong><\/a> are causing structural changes in the mining<\/strong><\/a> hardware supply chain. However, detailed data has not yet been updated. Institutions are closely monitoring a possible increase in the M2 money supply<\/strong>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
