Bitcoin Tumbles Below $116K as Jerome Powell Delivers Hawkish Remarks

Fed Chair Jerome Powell just threw ice water on crypto markets—and Bitcoin took the hardest hit. The flagship cryptocurrency nosedived below $116,000 as Powell doubled down on inflation fears, leaving bulls scrambling.

Why the sell-off? Powell's rhetoric shifted from 'patient' to 'preemptive,' signaling aggressive rate hikes ahead. Risk assets—especially volatile ones like crypto—got hammered instantly.

Silver lining? Bitcoin's 30% correction from its 2025 peak might be the discount institutions needed. After all, Wall Street loves buying the dip—right before pumping it back up.

Final thought: When central bankers talk, markets listen. Even decentralized ones. Funny how that works.
