Jerome Powell, in his speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, said that the central bank is considering adjusting its policy in connection with slowing inflation and a weakening labor market.
In his remarks, Powell predicted that the Fed was approaching a rate cut, although he did not provide specific details about when that might happen. "It's time for a policy adjustment," Powell said, pointing to a change in the Fed's approach due to the current economic situation.
Following these remarks, the Bitcoin price jumped to a high of $63,591, an increase of 5.51% in the last 24 hours. Similarly, the price of Ethereum also rose to $2,750.38, according to CoinMarketCap.
In addition, the CME FedWatch tool now shows a 63.5% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in September, down slightly from 76% the day before. However, many market watchers expect the Fed to cut rates to 100 basis points by the end of the year.
As a result, US Treasury yields fell and the dollar weakened to its lowest level in 14 months, which usually leads to an increase in the value of bitcoin.
