Crypto Bulls Get Hit With $200M in Liquidations as Powell Rattles Market With Fed Warning

Crypto markets saw a rise in volatility on Wednesday as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s hawkish remarks rattled leveraged traders.

Ether (ETH) slid as much as 3%, then recovered to $3,750, modestly lower (-0.6%) over the past 24 hours. Altcoins posted steeper declines first, but quickly rebounded. Solana’s SOL (SOL), Avalanche’s AVAX (AVAX) and Hyperliquid’s HYPE tokens were down 4%-5% before paring losses, while BONK and PENGU plunged 10% each before bouncing back. A check on the traditional market saw Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) posting strong quarterly earnings, lifting the stocks 10% and 6% higher, respectively, after regular trading hours. "The market is increasingly starting to think the Fed may be behind the curve," Matt Mena, analyst at digital asset issuer 21Shares, said in a market note. "Last week’s PCE print marked the second soft reading in a row, and consumer spending is weakening," he wrote. "With unemployment edging higher and real yields still restrictive, maintaining such tight policy risks overtightening into a broader slowdown." The current setup is reminiscent of the last quarter of 2023, Mena said, with "softening inflation, rising political volatility, and a Fed constrained by lagging indicators." He said "the stage is set" for the Fed to pivot to lower rates, which could drive BTC to $150,000 by year-end.
