Pound Sterling trades lower ahead of Fed Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole Symposium

The post Pound Sterling trades lower ahead of Fed Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole Symposium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pound Sterling drops to near 1.3400 against the US Dollar as the latter trades firmly. Investors await Fed Powell’s speech for fresh cues on the monetary policy outlook. Flash UK S&P Global Composite PMI for August beats estimates. The Pound Sterling (GBP) posts a fresh two-week low around 1.3400 against the US Dollar (USD) during the European trading session on Friday. The GBP/USD pair extends its losing streak for the fifth trading day as the US Dollar continues to outperform on the back of easing Federal Reserve (Fed) dovish speculation for the September monetary policy meeting. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, refreshes a 10-day high near 98.80 during European trading hours. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) in September has eased to 73.3% from 85.4% seen a week ago. Dovish expectations have eased ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium, scheduled at 14:00 GMT, in which he is expected to reiterate his argument that monetary policy adjustments are inappropriate until the central bank gains absolute clarity about the tariff-impact on inflation and the economy. “With another inflation and payrolls print still due before the September meeting, Powell has every reason to stay patient and keep optionality open,” analysts at Saxo said. Meanwhile, the comments from Kansas City Fed Bank President Jeffrey Schmid on Thursday also signaled that there is no rush for interest rate cuts as inflation is still above the central bank’s target of 2%. “Not in a hurry to cut interest rates as the inflation number is likely closer to 3 than 2, and there is work to do,” Schmid said, Reuters reported. Investors should note that Schmid is a…

XAU/USD trades cautiously near $3,330, Fed Powell’s speech in focus

The post XAU/USD trades cautiously near $3,330, Fed Powell’s speech in focus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold price faces selling pressure ahead of Fed Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Fed’s Powell is expected to reiterate a “wait and see” approach on the monetary policy outlook. Traders trim Fed dovish bets ahead of Jerome Powell’s speech. Gold price (XAU/USD) trades 0.3% lower around $3,330.00 during the European trading session on Friday. The precious metal faces selling pressure as market experts believe that Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell could reiterate his argument that a “wait and see” approach on the interest rate outlook is appropriate in the current environment in his speech at the Jackson Hole (JH) Symposium at 14:00 GMT. “The most likely scenario is that Powell won’t provide any definitive clues on what the Fed will do next ahead of critical non-farm payrolls and CPI data,” analysts at Commonwealth Bank said. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes of the July monetary policy meeting also showed on Wednesday that a majority of members, including Jerome Powell, underscored the need for time to gain absolute clarity on the “magnitude and persistence of higher tariffs’ effects on inflation”. Ahead of Fed Powell’s speech, traders have also trimmed bets supporting interest rate cuts by the Fed in the September meeting. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September has eased to 73.3% from 85.4% seen a week ago. The maintenance of interest rates at higher levels by the Fed bodes poorly for non-yielding assets, such as Gold. Traders raised Fed dovish bets earlier this month after the release of the Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report for July, which showed a significant revision in newly employed workers in May and June on the downside. On the global front, growing uncertainty over peace between Russia and Ukraine is expected to continue…

Higher on Powell Jackson Hole Remarks

Higher on Powell Jackson Hole Remarks

The post Higher on Powell Jackson Hole Remarks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Perhaps surprising markets which had expected a hawkish tone, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell firmly put a September rate cut on the table on Friday. Speaking at the Kansas City Fed’s Economic Symposium in Jackson Hole, Powell said the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting policy. “Downside risks to employment are rising,” said Powell. “If those risks materialize, they can do so quickly in the form of sharply higher layoffs and rising unemployment.” Bitcoin has gained about 2% since the remarks hit the wires, rising to $114,200. U.S. stocks have added more than 1% and the 10-year Treasury yield is lower by six basis points to 4.27%. The dollar index has dipped about 0.5% and gold is higher by 0.6%. Rough week ahead of Powell In anticipation that Powell would remain hawkish, risk markets — crypto among them — had been under sizable pressure in the days leading up to his address. Touching a record high above $124,000 about one week ago alongside September rate cut expectations that had risen to nearly 100%, bitcoin BTC$116,106.77 has slumped nearly 10% to $112,000 since as those monetary easing hopes quickly dwindled to just 69% in the hours ahead of Powell’s speech. In the minutes following, those odds have re-risen to nearly 90%, per CME FedWatch.

It’s bounced nearly 8% since the Powell speech. In traditional markets, the Nasdaq dipped 3% over the past few days as it too priced in lessening chances of a rate cut.

Crucial Details Emerge As Trading Begins September 1

The post Crucial Details Emerge As Trading Begins September 1 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with anticipation as World Liberty Financial (WLFI) prepares for a significant milestone. This DeFi project, which has garnered attention due to its reported links to the Trump family, is set to make its token tradable. The crucial WLFI token unlock event is scheduled for September 1, marking a new chapter for the platform. For those tracking new digital assets, understanding these developments is key. What Does the WLFI Token Unlock Entail? World Liberty Financial recently confirmed via an announcement on X that its native token is now live on the Ethereum mainnet. This means that starting September 1 at 12:00 UTC, the WLFI token will become fully tradable and transferable. Upon launch, 20% of the total WLFI tokens will be claimable by eligible participants. This initial distribution is a significant step towards decentralization. The remaining 80% of tokens will not be immediately available; instead, their release will be determined by a community governance vote at a later date. This approach emphasizes community involvement in the project’s future. It is also important to note that tokens allocated to founders, team members, advisors, and partners will remain locked, preventing immediate sell-offs and promoting long-term commitment. World Liberty Financial: A Glimpse into the Project WLFI positions itself as a decentralized finance (DeFi) initiative. While the project has gained notoriety due to its association with the Trump family, its core mission revolves around leveraging blockchain technology for financial innovation. DeFi projects aim to recreate traditional financial services, such as lending, borrowing, and trading, using smart contracts on a blockchain. This eliminates the need for intermediaries, potentially offering greater transparency and accessibility. The project’s launch on the robust Ethereum mainnet provides a secure and widely adopted foundation for its operations. WLFI tokens are expected to be available across various decentralized…

Continuing Claims, which reflect unemployed people re-applying for unemployment benefits, reached their highest level since November 2021. Fed officials began to cross the wires. Cleveland’s Fed Beth Hammack made some hawkish comments, as she favors maintaining “modestly restrictive policy to lower inflation.” Kansas City Fed Jeffrey Schmid commented that the risks of inflation are higher relative to the jobs situation, and Atlanta Fed Raphael Bostic reiterated that inflation remains above target.

Forex Today: Will Chair Powell…?

Forex Today: Will Chair Powell…?

The post Forex Today: Will Chair Powell…? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) outperformed its peers on Thursday, gathering extra steam on the back of solid data releases and steady caution ahead of the critical speech by Chief Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday. So far, consensus continues to favour a rate cut in September. Here’s what to watch on Friday, August 22: The US Dollar Index (DXY) traded with marked gains on Thursday, retesting multi-day highs around 98.70 amid the resurgence of the upside impulse in US yields across the curve and firmer data. The speech by Powell at the Jackson Hole event will take centre stage as investors continue to assess the Fed’s potential rate path in the latter part of the year. EUR/USD navigated on the defensive and approached the 1.1600 neighbourhood, always against the backdrop of a generalised prudent stance in the FX galaxy. The final Q2 GDP Growth Rate in Germany is due, seconded by the ECB’s Negotiated Wage Growth and the Consumer Inflation Expectations survey. GBP/USD added to its ongoing weakness, coming close to the key contention area around 1.3400 the figure. The GfK Consumer Confidence gauge will be the only data release across the Channel. Further choppiness saw USD/JPY set aside two daily drops in a row and surpass the key 148.00 barrier amid strong gains. The key Inflation Rate will be the salient event on the domestic docket. AUD/USD weakened further and approached the 0.6400 support zone, or two-month troughs. Next on tap in Oz will be the publication of the RBA Minutes on August 26. Prices of the barrel of WTI could not sustain the initial move to weekly highs near $63.50, eventually succumbing to the selling pressure despite signs of stronger demand in the US and steady uncertainty on the geopolitical front.

Unlocking the Mystery: Why Altcoin Season Isn’t Here Yet

Unlocking the Mystery: Why Altcoin Season Isn’t Here Yet

BitcoinWorld Unlocking the Mystery: Why Altcoin Season Isn’t Here Yet Are you wondering why your favorite altcoins aren’t soaring? The cryptocurrency market is a dynamic place, constantly shifting between periods where Bitcoin leads the charge and times when altcoins shine. Understanding these cycles is crucial for any investor. Currently, the Altcoin Season Index, a key metric, stands at 49, indicating we are firmly in a ‘Bitcoin Season’. This means the market’s momentum is heavily favoring Bitcoin over other digital assets. What is the Altcoin Season Index? The Altcoin Season Index is a valuable tool tracked by platforms like CoinMarketCap. It helps investors gauge the overall sentiment and performance across the broader crypto market. Essentially, it tells us whether Bitcoin or altcoins are currently outperforming. The index excludes stablecoins and wrapped tokens, focusing purely on the performance of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization over the past 90 days. For the market to be in Altcoin Season, at least 75% of these top 100 altcoins must have outperformed Bitcoin during that 90-day period. Conversely, if 25% or fewer altcoins manage to outperform Bitcoin, the market is considered to be in ‘Bitcoin Season’. The index scores range from 1 to 100, with higher numbers indicating a stronger altcoin performance relative to Bitcoin. The current reading of 49, as reported on August 23rd at 00:30 UTC, signifies that less than 75% of altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin recently. This clearly places us in a Bitcoin-dominated phase. Why Are We Currently in Bitcoin Season? The Altcoin Season Index registered 49, up seven points from the previous day’s figure. Despite this slight increase, the number remains below the critical 75 threshold required for a true Altcoin Season. This suggests that Bitcoin’s dominance is currently robust, influencing the entire market. Several factors can contribute to Bitcoin Season: Market Uncertainty: During periods of economic or geopolitical uncertainty, investors often flock to Bitcoin, viewing it as a safer, more established asset compared to the higher-risk altcoins. Bitcoin Halving Cycles: Historically, Bitcoin tends to lead market rallies, especially around its halving events, before capital eventually flows into altcoins. Institutional Adoption: Increased institutional interest, such as Bitcoin ETF approvals, often bolsters Bitcoin’s price and market share first. Consequently, many altcoins might experience sideways movement or even declines while Bitcoin consolidates its gains or continues its upward trajectory. Understanding this dynamic is vital for making informed investment decisions. Navigating the Current Market: What Does This Mean for Your Portfolio? Being in a Bitcoin Season doesn’t mean altcoins are without potential, but it does suggest a different strategy might be necessary. It’s a time for careful consideration and perhaps a shift in focus. Here are some actionable insights: Re-evaluate Holdings: Consider if your portfolio is overly exposed to altcoins that are underperforming. Diversification remains key, but a temporary tilt towards Bitcoin might be prudent. Research Projects: Use this period to research promising altcoin projects with strong fundamentals, solid roadmaps, and innovative technology. These could be the first to rebound when Altcoin Season eventually returns. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Continue to invest a fixed amount regularly, regardless of market fluctuations. This strategy can help mitigate risk and build positions in quality assets over time. Monitor Key Metrics: Keep an eye on the Altcoin Season Index, Bitcoin dominance charts, and overall market sentiment for signs of a shift. Remember, market cycles are a natural part of the cryptocurrency landscape. Patience and strategic planning are your best allies. When Will Altcoin Season Return? Predicting the exact return of Altcoin Season is challenging, but historical patterns offer some clues. Typically, after a strong Bitcoin run, capital tends to ‘rotate’ from Bitcoin into altcoins as investors seek higher returns. This rotation often begins once Bitcoin’s dominance peaks or shows signs of consolidation. Key indicators to watch for a potential shift: Bitcoin Dominance Chart: A sustained decline in Bitcoin dominance (the percentage of the total crypto market capitalization held by Bitcoin) often signals the start of altcoin outperformance. Increased Trading Volume in Altcoins: A significant surge in trading volume for a wide range of altcoins, especially those outside the top 10, can be an early sign. Breakout in Major Altcoins: When Ethereum (ETH) and other large-cap altcoins begin to make significant gains against Bitcoin, it often precedes a broader altcoin rally. While the Altcoin Season Index at 49 suggests we are not there yet, the crypto market is always evolving. Staying informed and prepared will allow you to capitalize on future opportunities. The Altcoin Season Index provides a clear snapshot of the current crypto market dynamics. With the index at 49, it’s evident that Bitcoin currently holds the reins, leading the market. However, this period offers a valuable opportunity for investors to refine their strategies, research emerging projects, and prepare for the inevitable return of Altcoin Season. Understanding these cycles is not just about knowing where we are, but also about anticipating where we might be headed next. Stay informed, stay strategic, and be ready for the next wave of innovation and growth in the crypto space. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What exactly does the Altcoin Season Index measure? A1: The Altcoin Season Index measures the percentage of the top 100 altcoins (excluding stablecoins and wrapped tokens) that have outperformed Bitcoin over the past 90 days. It helps indicate whether the market is in a Bitcoin-led or altcoin-led phase. Q2: What index score indicates a true Altcoin Season? A2: For the market to be officially in Altcoin Season, the index needs to register 75 or higher. This means 75% or more of the top 100 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin in the last 90 days. Q3: How does Bitcoin Season differ from Altcoin Season? A3: Bitcoin Season occurs when 25% or fewer of the top 100 altcoins outperform Bitcoin over 90 days. In contrast, Altcoin Season means 75% or more altcoins are outperforming Bitcoin. Q4: What should investors do during Bitcoin Season? A4: During Bitcoin Season, investors often consider re-evaluating their altcoin exposure, researching promising projects, practicing dollar-cost averaging, and monitoring key market indicators for signs of a shift back to Altcoin Season. Q5: Can the Altcoin Season Index change quickly? A5: Yes, while the index considers a 90-day period, market sentiment and performance can shift relatively quickly. Daily updates help track these movements, though a sustained trend is needed for a full season change. If you found this article insightful, please consider sharing it with your network!
