The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain current interest rates in its upcoming meeting this Wednesday, with market participants closely watching Fed Chairman Powell's post-meeting comments for signals on future monetary policy. The focus will be on whether Powell's remarks suggest a 'hawkish pause' or a 'dovish pause' in rate cuts, which could influence risk assets like Bitcoin. If Powell highlights inflation risks, it may reduce expectations for future rate cuts, potentially pressuring Bitcoin. Conversely, if he indicates that the pause is temporary, it could boost Bitcoin and other risk assets. Additionally, any dissent from Trump-appointed officials against maintaining rates could reinforce expectations for future easing. Powell's comments on maintaining rates could also impact the dollar, affecting Bitcoin's price dynamics.
