The Fed's two heroes speak out together, crypto world awaits the storm

On the evening of January 9, 2025, the crypto world's attention was focused on two key figures at the Federal Reserve. At 22:00, 2026 FOMC voter and Philadelphia Fed President Haak delivered a speech on the 2025 economic forecast; just 5 minutes later, 2025 FOMC voter and Boston Fed President Collins also expressed his views on the economic outlook. The Golden Ten data gave both speeches a three-and-a-half star importance rating, indicating their significant influence on the market.

Over the past year, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy has been an important bellwether for volatility in the crypto world. In 2024, the Fed has experienced a "three-in-a-row" pace of rate cuts, reducing the target range for the federal funds rate to between 4.25% and 4.50%. However, the dot plot released in December 2024 showed that the number of rate cuts in 2025 was reduced to two from the four forecasts in September, and the median interest rate forecast was raised to 3.9% from 3.4% in September, which undoubtedly cast a shadow of uncertainty over the market's rate cut expectations.

Currently, the market is highly sensitive to the future direction of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. Speeches by Harker and Collins may reveal key information about future interest rate adjustments, economic stimulus policies, etc. If their speeches are hawkish, expressing concerns about inflation or implying a slowdown in rate cuts, it may trigger panic selling in the crypto world, leading to a significant decline in the prices of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Conversely, if the speeches are dovish, emphasizing the risks of economic slowdown or expressing support for further rate cuts, it will inject confidence into the crypto world and drive up cryptocurrency prices.

Investors in the crypto world are at a critical juncture and need to closely monitor speeches and market reactions, analyze the situation rationally, adjust investment strategies in a timely manner, seize opportunities, and mitigate risks in market fluctuations. #参与年终社区盛典助力，赢周边海量好礼# #GT新年屡破新高，接下来到多少？# #BTC# #ETH#
