{"content":"🔑 Trump vs The Fed – What It Means for Crypto 📌 Trump Demands Rate Cuts President Trump wants Fed Chair Jerome Powell to slash interest rates, saying global banks are doing it and inflation is under control. 📌 Fed Likely to Hold Rates The Fed is expected to keep rates at 4.25–4.5%. Markets give a 96% chance of no cut today. 📌 Inflation Still Hot CPI hit 2.7% in June — above the Fed’s 2% goal. Tariffs may push prices higher, giving the Fed reason to wait. 📌 Some Fed Members Want Cuts Two FOMC officials support cuts, but most prefer to wait. Rare dissent may occur. 📌 Next Possible Cut: September The next rate decision is Sept 16–17. Markets see a 63% chance of a 0.25% cut then. 📌 Powell Holding His Ground Powell says the Fed makes decisions based on data, not politics. He’ll address this at 2:30 PM ET. 📌 Strong U.S. Economy Q2 GDP rose 3%. Jobs remain strong — reducing urgency for a cut. 📉 Crypto Impact ⚠️ No Cut = Less Risk Appetite High rates hurt risk-on assets like $BTC and $ETH. Investors may stay cautious. 💵 Stronger Dollar = Weaker Crypto High rates boost the dollar, putting pressure on $BTC/USD and $ETH/USD pairs. 📆 Eyes on September If Powell hints at future cuts, crypto may get a boost on hopes — not data. 📊 Volatility Likely Powell’s speech could swing crypto markets. Any dovish tone may spark short-term rallies. 📉 Altcoins at Risk Riskier tokens suffer the most when rates stay high. Low-liquidity coins may dip hard. 🧠 Bottom Line: No rate cut likely means neutral to bearish short-term crypto price action. But if Powell opens the door for September cuts, markets could turn bullish fast.","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025072025/07/30/e7cd68d512506e03d37a4f913cc90527.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["ETH/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
