The CPI data came in better than expected, but Jerome Powell's speech, as always, lacked substance. When asked about the real question concerning the American debt ceiling rising and potentially increasing further in the future, he responded that it was not his responsibility. The rest of the questions he answered were mostly nonsense. Instead of effectively addressing inflation or implementing consistent measures, they act sporadically. Just because we had good data last month does not guarantee the same for the next one.
What really matters is the ability to read between the lines.
Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room - BlackRock. SEC Chair Gary Gensler is continuing to wage war against the crypto market. The press, of course, did not have anything negative to say about him before, but now the tides are shifting. Everyone is writing and talking about how bad he is. Coincidentally, at this time, BlackRock shows interest in a BTC spot ETF. After a few days, Schwab, Citadel Securities, Fidelity, and other Wall Street firms start the crypto exchange EDX Markets. Then WisdomTree and Invesco apply for an ETF, similar to BlackRock. It's worth noting that BlackRock owns a significant portion of assets in the USA (Most of the press) and other countries too. If they apply for something, they will get what they are asking for. Bitcoin and ETH are currently surging, and smart money is buying. Altcoins are also experiencing movement, albeit slower compared to the major cryptocurrencies. A rise in altcoins is inevitable. My vision has not changed: SLP will experience a significant pump, so just be patient.
