Bitcoin price It is stalling below $83,000, and those who saw the $98,000 test as a short selling opportunity were right again. BTC Even though the reaction from here starts the rise, it will not trigger the expected excitement as each unsuccessful attempt diminishes investors’ faith in the rise. Fed member Bostic was making important statements about the current outlook as the article was being prepared. It’s hard for cryptocurrencies on the weekend.
Fed Statements and Cryptocurrencies
PPI data came much higher than expected. Employment data was better than expected this month and Powell interest rate cut He declared war on Trump due to pressure. These are all some details that explain why the environment is terrible for cryptocurrencies. Fed member Bostic is making important statements as the article is being prepared. These statements are extremely valuable as they contain important readings about the current situation of my economy in the eyes of the Fed.
The important highlights of the ongoing conversation are as follows:
- Inflation is too high and needs to come down.
- Inflation has remained stable for two years.
- I want clear evidence that inflation is back to 2% (is on course).
- There are tariff impacts on prices that have not yet emerged.
- I expect tariffs to have some impact in the first half of 2026.
- We still have things to do about inflation, we have to be alert.
- The outlook is that inflation will “stall stagnate” for much of this year.
- We must wait for interest rate cuts and be more patient.
- The Fed should be more patient for now.
- I still think we need to be a bit restrictive.
- It can be said that inflation and employment risks are currently balanced.
- The Fed does not need to cut interest rates right now.
- Downside risks to employment are now much more remote.
- The risk that inflation will remain too high is still worrying.
- I don’t expect inflation to increase, but I think it could continue.
- Currently, the Fed’s balance sheet size is at an appropriate level.
- The balance sheet grew in response to the crisis, but MBS should withdraw.
- The current size of the balance sheet is appropriate, it should grow with the economy.
- It would be best to hold only market-grade treasury bonds.
- Two rate cuts (for 2026) are not the base case scenario, I expect inflation to be stubborn.
BTC Below 83 thousand dollars and increasing tension with Iran, negativity on the macro front, Trump’s surprises, at the end of the week in cryptocurrencies We may see deeper bottoms with weakening liquidity. Warsh is not someone who is very keen on QE either, so even if the new Fed president comes with interest rate cuts (which requires the support of members for a cut, employment must weaken as inflation approaches 2%), monetary expansion may not be the event of 2026.
