Jackson Hole Meeting Looms as Market Anticipation Shifts – Bybit & FXStreet Report

Dubai, UAE – August 21st, 2025 – Chainwire 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇮🇳 🇯🇵 🇩🇰 Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest TradFi report, shedding light on the shifting market dynamics ahead of the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. The upcoming event focuses on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s address, scheduled for Friday at 14:00 GMT, where investors await clarity regarding U.S. interest rate trends and their impact on global markets, including cryptocurrencies. Market speculation is rife with traders now expecting a 25-basis-point rate cut at the September 17 meeting, reflecting a significant decrease from last week’s expectation of a 94% chance of such a move. This shift underscores rising uncertainty about the Fed’s future policy direction and how it will affect global markets. Historically, Powell’s statements at Jackson Hole have significantly influenced market trends. Hawkish pronouncements often strengthen the U.S. dollar while weighing on equities, whereas dovish guidance usually results in stock and cryptocurrency rallies. This year, however, a combination of softer inflation, cooling job growth, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties makes the Fed’s forward guidance even more crucial to market performance. 💰 📈 Key Highlights: 📊 📚 🔍 💻 ,
