According to The Kobeissi Letter, the Nasdaq has experienced a significant drop of nearly 900 points since Monday's high, after a previous rise of 2,400 points from its April 7th low. This downturn is linked to Fed Chair Powell's recent statements indicating that the 'Fed put' will not be supporting the market in the near future. This development has potential implications for cryptocurrency traders, as changes in traditional market conditions can influence crypto market trends. Traders should closely monitor Fed policy announcements as they strategize future trades.

According to Richard Teng, if inflation trends downward or the job market weakens, the Federal Reserve could rapidly change its policy stance, affecting market expectations. Markets are currently adjusting to an anticipated delay in policy shifts, but this state is temporary and represents a recalibration (source: Richard Teng, Twitter, February 25, 2025).
