Investors are closely monitoring every signal from the American Federal Reserve (Fed), whose monetary policy could trigger a bear market. While some were hoping for rate cuts as early as 2024, the latest statement from Fed Chair Jerome Powell has dampened those expectations.

Economist Timothy Peterson warns: if the Fed does not cut rates by 2025, the Nasdaq could collapse, dragging the cryptocurrency market along with it. A new correction of Bitcoin below $70,000 is now a serious possibility.

The American economy is going through a turbulent phase. Between rising inflation and a marked slowdown in growth, a long-forgotten specter resurfaces: stagflation. This phenomenon, which combines economic stagnation and rising prices, evokes the crises of the 1970s.

The American president's decision to impose heavy taxes on Chinese, Mexican, and Canadian imports raises many questions about their real effects on the economy. As the Federal Reserve is pushed to its limits, markets are wavering, and businesses are concerned about the repercussions on their profitability.
Political decisions shape the future of cryptocurrencies, and the crypto summit organized by the Trump administration at the White House on March 7 is a glaring proof of this.

This meeting, which coincided with the announcement of the creation of a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, had an immediate impact on the markets, leading to a 7.3% drop in BTC and massive outflows from Bitcoin ETFs. So, real progress or just a publicity stunt?
