  • Tech stocks fell after Microsoft’s drop, pulling Bitcoin and crypto lower.
  • Traders cut risk as liquidations rose and money moved into gold and silver.

Bitcoin price fell sharply, and at the same time, Microsoft’s stock dropped about 11% after the company reported slower growth and higher costs. This made the investors worry about the global economy and led them to sell risky assets like tech stocks and cryptocurrencies. 

The Bitcoin price has dropped 6%, which has led to around 270,000 trading accounts being liquidated in 24 hours. More than 90% of the liquidation positions are long trades. As the bitcoin price fell quickly, most losses occurred very fast, which caused high market volatility and panic selling. 

Global Tension brings Market Pressure

Rising global tensions in the Middle East also increased fear in the financial market. The recent statement from President Donald Trump and the concerns over the tariffs linked to the oil trade. As the stocks and Crypto are declining due to these factors. The investors are shifting their assets into Gold and Silver. Analysts noted that people are choosing safe assets instead of the risky ones. 

Market analysts say that Bitcoin is testing its key support level, and some experts think that the fall is overdone, and the prices were already falling before this event. Others warn that the price will fall more if the global stress continues, and right now, the market is cautious and unstable.

This event shows that the Bitcoin prices still control the tech stocks, and global news and big company earnings still affect the crypto prices. For the long term traders, volatility is normal, and fear-driven selloffs happen often.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
