According to The Kobeissi Letter, former President Trump publicly criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell today, stating concerns over Powell's handling of interest rates and monetary policy. This high-profile criticism could increase market volatility, particularly for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies and tech stocks, as traders anticipate potential shifts in Fed leadership or policy direction if Trump returns to office. Traders should monitor for increased volatility in BTC and ETH as macro uncertainty grows and risk sentiment shifts, as reported by The Kobeissi Letter (June 19, 2025).
