Powell’s Comments Shake Markets: Rate Cuts May Slow Down

The day ends with a bit of tension in global markets. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has hinted that the pace of U.S. rate cuts might slow down, saying there’s still “uncertainty” around inflation and growth. That one statement has already changed the tone across both traditional finance and crypto today.

Traders were expecting faster easing — more rate cuts usually mean more liquidity flowing into risk assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. But now, with the Fed sounding cautious again, investors are reassessing their positions. You can see it in the charts: BTC, ETH, and even SOL are moving carefully, reacting to every macro headline.

This kind of moment often tests patience. Crypto tends to perform best when policy becomes clearer — for now, it’s a wait-and-watch phase. The next few macro updates could decide how long this correction lasts. Stay alert, stay balanced, and don’t trade the noise.
