Ethereum Price Prediction: Fed and Options Expiry in Focus

  • Wechat scan to share

The demand for Ethereum has decreased, causing its price to drop to its lowest level since July 7th. The upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision and options expiry on Friday will be important factors affecting Ethereum's price this week. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates by 0.25% and then pause, as further hikes could lead to a hard landing for the American economy. Ethereum tends to show volatility ahead of options expiry, and data shows there are over 2.2 million ETH calls and 755,222 puts in the options market.

  • Fed Governor Bowman: Be cautious about rate cuts

    Federal Reserve Governor Bowman said there are upside risks to inflation and the continued strength of the labor market, indicating that she may not be prepared to support a rate cut at the next meeting of U.S. central bank officials in September. She said that the progress made in reducing inflation in May and June was welcome, but inflation is still above the committee's 2% target, which is disturbing. I will remain cautious when considering adjusting the current policy stance. She also said that U.S. fiscal policy, the pressure on the real estate market from immigration, and geopolitical risks may all put upward pressure on housing prices, and the recent jump in the unemployment rate to 4.3% may exaggerate the extent of the cooling of the labor market.
