December 11th, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell once again made statements.

He candidly pointed out that the current inflation exceeding the 2% target is primarily due to Trump's tariff policies. "Inflation overshoot? Blame the tariffs," Powell said.

However, he also emphasized one point—this wave of tariff shocks is more like a one-time price spike rather than a persistent inflationary spiral. In other words, short-term pain but not a long-term ailment.

What does this mean for the market? The Federal Reserve may not aggressively raise interest rates just because of this round of tariff-induced inflation. Liquidity conditions might not tighten as quickly, which is a positive signal for risk assets (including the crypto market).

Powell's recent remarks are quite tactful; the soft landing dream hasn't woken up yet.

Powell's recent remarks are a reassurance to the crypto community. Short-term pain without rate hikes is a positive signal for us.

Powell's recent statements are quite deliberate, serving as a warning to the market. The key is whether liquidity loosens or not, that's what we in the crypto circle are watching.

ngl powell's basically admitting the whole inflation thing is just tariff theater... which means fed probably won't go full hawkish on us. that's the narrative arc we needed tbh, temporary pain beats spiral death every time. liquidity staying loose = crypto keeps breathing, funny how a single sentence from the man upstairs reshapes everyone's conviction lol

The consultation records show that this wave of tariff inflation is a typical clinical presentation — short-term symptoms are obvious but it’s not a chronic condition. Powell's remarks are like a reassuring pill for the market, and liquidity indicators shouldn't deteriorate rapidly in the short term. For the crypto sector, capital outflow symptoms might ease temporarily. However, regular check-ups are necessary, and risk warnings should not be relaxed.

powell just blamed trump for the inflation mess lmao... "it's transitory" take #47283. ngl though, if fed doesn't get hawkish about it, that's basically a greenlight for risk assets rn. correlation matrix says crypto could pop off but... we've heard this tape before 🤐

Powell's recent statements are essentially hinting that a hard landing is unlikely, which is indeed positive for the crypto market... The space for loose liquidity has opened up.
