On April 11th, as the Trump administration's reciprocal tariff policy continued to cause market concerns, several Federal Reserve senior officials publicly stated that controlling inflation remains a top priority. They must ensure that price increases caused by tariffs do not become persistent inflation, and people's sensitivity to future prices has significantly increased. If inflation expectations become deeply rooted, it will make restoring price stability more difficult. Although the latest March CPI shows a slight cooling of inflation, Fed officials generally believe that maintaining the current interest rate level is more prudent before the full impact of tariff policies is revealed. Powell also stated that he will observe more data before deciding whether to cut rates.
Bitunix analysts suggest: In an environment of high inflation and tariff uncertainty, crypto assets will experience increased short-term volatility. Attention should be paid to subsequent Fed data and policy trends. Once rate cut expectations reignite, it will provide medium to long-term momentum for risk assets like BTC. BTC needs to maintain support at $78,500. If BTC falls below this level, it may further test $75,000. Breaking through $82,500 will open up upward space to $85,000. Investors should closely monitor macroeconomic policy dynamics and technical key levels, flexibly adjust positions, and manage risks accordingly.
