“The level of debt we have is completely sustainable, but the path we are on is unsustainable,” Powell said during the European Central Bank conference on Portugal. reported by the Financial Times, adding that the Biden administration was taking excessive risks by “running a very large deficit at a time when we are at full employment” and said that “it is not possible to maintain these levels in good economic times for very long.”

In May, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen issued a sobering warning about the US’s spiraling $34 trillion debt that some think could help drive the price of bitcoin to $1 million in the next 18 months.

Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and stock market traders have been closely watching the Fed for signs it will start cutting interest rates in recent months, with analysts forced to scale back expectations from around seven cuts in 2024 to just one or two.

“Getting the right balance in monetary policy during this critical period is really what I’m thinking about in the early hours,” Powell said in response to a question about his main concerns, the AP reported. reported.

Last month, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and signaled it would make just one cut in 2024, with more cuts in 2025. The Fed is under pressure to cut interest rates after raising them at a record pace following massive Covid-era stimulus spending and money printing that sent inflation spiraling out of control.

“Powell said the U.S. was back on a ‘disinflationary path,’ but added that more data was needed before the Fed would consider cutting rates,” Russ Mould, chief investment officer at AJ Bell, said in emailed comments. “The last sentence sounds a bit like a broken record as far as the market is concerned, so the most important part of Powell’s speech was the reference to disinflation, as investors interpreted that as a stronger case for cutting rates soon.”

Eyes now turn to the release of the Fed’s June meeting minutes on Wednesday and Friday’s jobs report, which could “cement” expectations for a September interest rate cut if it shows hiring has slowed.

“A weaker-than-expected jobs report on Friday, if it comes through, would likely further cement the case for such a cut, which markets are assigning a roughly 70% chance of happening — perhaps slightly lower than expected,” said Michael Brown, senior research strategist at Pepperstone. counted Market observation.

Here’s the next target for BTC before bulls can hold out for $70K

Bitcoin’s recovery is going well, and the market is seemingly poised to create a new all-time high in the near term.

Technical analysis

Per NegotiationRage

The daily chart

As the daily chart shows, the price of Bitcoin has been rising since it broke above the 200-day moving average.

The market has also reclaimed the $60K and $65K levels and is moving towards the $68K resistance zone, which could be the last hurdle before creating a new all-time high. With the RSI also indicating that the price has clear bullish momentum, it could be just a matter of time.

The 4-hour chart

Looking at the 4-hour chart, it is evident that the price has been rising rapidly since breaking the downtrend line to the upside. The market also broke the $65K resistance level with momentum, turning it into a support.

While almost everything points to a new record high in the coming weeks, there is one worrying sign. The RSI is showing a clear bearish divergence between recent price highs, which could indicate a correction or even a reversal in the near term.
