Markets Today: BTC, ETH, XRP Prices Are Muted Before Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole Speech

Over $500 million in crypto long positions were liquidated in 24 hours as investors brace for Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech, signaling cautious sentiment in cryptocurrency markets.

  • On Thursday, Bitcoin slipped to $112,301 as traders stepped aside ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium speech.
  • Mixed economic data has increased stagflation worries with 2.7% CPI and a cooling labor market, while hawkish Fed minutes reduce the chance of a September rate cut.
  • On-Chain and product data revealed over $500 million in liquidated longs and nearly 78,000 traders hit in 24 hours, while investors pulled $756 million from BTC investment products and whales bought over 16,000 BTC last week.
  • Technically, BTC sits just above a $113,000 pivot with immediate support at $112,000, while short-term bulls defend $113,000 and bears eye a slide toward $110,000.
  • Options activity points to a 2% move around Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech, with implied volatility at 49%, and CryptoQuant warns `If this pattern repeats, we should soon see a local bottom and a short-term reversal`.
