In a week filled with economic expectations and market fluctuations, the crypto market has seen significant volatility, with the price of Bitcoin rising after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's comments at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.
His statement hinted at a more cautious approach, suggesting that the central bank may be open to future interest rate cuts to counter a possible slowdown in the labour market. This outlook has been favorable for riskier assets such as Bitcoin as it indicates potentially more accommodative monetary policy from the Fed.
Following Powell’s comments, the price of BTC quickly rose above the $63,000 mark – a level it hadn’t reached in almost a month – as investors reacted positively. At the time of writing, the leading cryptocurrency is trading at $63,003, experiencing a 5% rise in the last 24 hours.
Also, a number of crypto analysts expect the value of BTC to experience a significant rise in the upcoming months in anticipation of lower interest rates.
Both Bitcoin and the entire crypto market is experiencing growth, with the total market capitalization back at $2.22 trillion. The price of Ethereum has also rebounded, trading at $2,714 at the time of writing, recording over 4% intraday rise.
