Analysis: Powell's speech on Monday and Friday's non-farm payroll data may affect the future trend of the cryptocurrency market
ChainCatcher news, BTC Markets' crypto analyst Rachael Lucas stated, "Bitcoin appears to be overbought on the daily chart, with prices starting to pull back after reaching a high of $66,498 last Friday, and momentum has weakened since last week."
Lucas pointed out that Ethereum is also facing challenges in regaining momentum, as it lost momentum after breaking above the 50-day simple moving average last week. According to TheBlock's Ethereum price page, Ethereum has dropped 1.69% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $2,626. Meanwhile, investors are focusing on two key macroeconomic events this week: Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech at the National Association for Business Economics on Monday, and the U.S. non-farm payroll report released on Friday. Lucas stated, "Powell's remarks, especially those regarding inflation and interest rates, often influence the market, and cryptocurrencies are no exception. Any hawkish tone could further exacerbate risk-off sentiment, leading to today's decline."
