Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said the recent 0.5% rate cut should not be seen as a sign that the next rate cut will be as large. Instead, interest rate policy will gradually move toward a more neutral position over time. However, we are not on any predetermined path. #BTC☀

+ A total of 13 #FED officials will appear on air this week, Chairman #Powell spoke at 00:15 a.m. April 17 $BTC
- BITCOIN HALVING - Estimated for Saturday, April 20
- This week we have a lot of Fed officials speaking!
In particular, we have Chairman Powell speaking on Tuesday, and the FED "Beige Book" (economic report) on Wednesday.
Within the past week, there have been 3 events: 1- CPI consumer inflation increased again (3 consecutive months) 2- PPI wholesale inflation is not as expected 3- The political situation escalated in the Middle East this weekend
We will see how the FED reacts to the inflation situation and the possibility of reducing interest rates as well as what they think about the political instability.
The Bitcoin/Crypto market's reaction yesterday to the news of Iran and Israel was only the initial reaction. Some people may worry and speculate that the war will spread more widely, affecting the economy, but in reality, how the market reacts will only be known when the stock market opens tomorrow.
Bitcoin/crypto reacted first because it was the only market open on the weekend but we are also approaching the Bitcoin Halving day, a big event as well as many leveraged orders being liquidated by the exchange so it is also impossible to watch. is the general reaction of the financial market, in general we will only know tomorrow. $BTC $ETH $BNB #binance #bitcoin
