Bitcoin experienced a significant liquidation imbalance of 125% following remarks by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, with the cryptocurrency maintaining a price above $67,000. CoinGlass data revealed that long liquidations reached $2.86 million, while short liquidations totaled $1.27 million within an hour of Powell's comments.Powell's statements highlighted potential inflationary pressures, including new tariffs potentially adding 0.5% to 1% to inflation and ongoing geopolitical tensions affecting gas prices. Despite Bitcoin's price gains, the market's reaction was defensive, with long positions heavily liquidated as traders anticipated a more dovish stance from the Fed. Powell's "wait and see" approach and reaffirmation of the Fed's inflation target contributed to the market's cautious outlook.BTC+1.66%Source:Show OriginalDisclaimer: The content provided on Phemex News is for informational purposes only.
