How Will Cryptocurrencies Be Affected?
The most critical days of the week are June 13 and 14. If the upcoming inflation data is as low as expected, the interest decision will largely be determined. Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged for now. The crypto legislation discussions in the U.S. House of Representatives will also be closely monitored. This bill, which will resolve the uncertainty about stablecoins, will allow crypto to be legally recognized by the U.S.
The interest decision is, as always, the most critical event, but the statements to be made by the Fed Chairman this month are slightly more important. Since the decision has largely been clarified, Powell’s language will be decisive for investors. Powell had previously stated that if they stop interest rate increases, they will not restart them. If we see a dovish tone in this meeting, we could witness rapid rises in the market.
