Trump Speech Triggers Crypto Sell-Off as Oil Prices Jump

The post Is Trump Manipulating the Crypto Market?  appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Every time Trump makes a statement, Bitcoin moves thousands of dollars up or down. Crypto analyst Max Crypto is now openly calling it out, saying no chart, no indicator, and no strategy can protect traders when one man’s statement can wipe out your position in minutes.
To back his statement, the analyst highlighted a pattern between Trump’s remarks and Bitcoin’s price direction over the past few days. 

Trump’s Comments Trigger Sharp Bitcoin Swings

According to Max Crypto, every single major price move in Bitcoin price over the past four days has lined up perfectly with a statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump about the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
The timeline shared by the analyst shows multiple market reactions. 

On March 30, Trump posted on Truth Social saying the U.S. was in “serious discussions” with a new Iranian regime, and Bitcoin jumped, with short liquidations totaling about $340 milliom. 

But within the same day, the mood flipped completely. Trump turned around and threatened to destroy Iran’s power plants and energy infrastructure, and Bitcoin shed roughly $2,000 just as fast as it had gained.

On March 31, Trump softened his tone again, hinting that the war could end soon. Bitcoin responded by climbing $2,000. 

Then on April 1, Trump spoke about “serious discussions” happening with Iran, which pushed Bitcoin up 2.2% to nearly $68,000, while Ethereum surged 4.4% and Solana rose 3.4%. 

Then came April 2, and the rug pull nobody wanted. Trump’s primetime address promised to hit Iran “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks, reversing the short-lived global market rally and sending Bitcoin down 3% to $66,309. Every major token in the top 10 fell with it.

“No Analysis Can Save You Right Now”

Crypto analyst Max Crypto says the market is now driven more by headlines than charts. He noted that indicators like support levels, RSI, or candlestick patterns are becoming less useful. One single Truth Social post can move Bitcoin by nearly $2,500 within minutes.

Traders on both sides are getting wiped out equally. Hawkish Trump comments liquidate longs, while peace hints crush shorts. There is no safe side of the trade right now.

Bitcoin has spent five weeks bouncing between roughly $60,000 and $73,000, while the Fear and Greed Index remains in extreme fear.

Until the geopolitical situation finds a real resolution, Bitcoin traders may have no choice but to watch Truth Social more closely than any price chart.

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…
