According to Jinshi reports, Citic Securities' research report indicates that after Waller takes office as the Federal Reserve Chairman, the baseline scenario for the second half of the year is expected to include one rate cut of 25 basis points. The report emphasizes the need to closely monitor the speeches of the 12 current voting members, as the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path depends more on the balance of votes among FOMC members, and the guiding role of the Federal Reserve Chairman's personal speeches on the market has decreased compared to the past.

On April 25 local time, Trump attended a TRUMP luncheon at Mar-a-Lago and delivered a speech lasting about 45 minutes, covering topics such as the cryptocurrency industry, the Iran war, and Biden.White House reporter Sander Lutz stated that aside from expressing hope for the passage of the CLARITY Act and that he would sign it immediately, Trump did not reveal many other specific details. Some industry insiders had hoped he would provide more information about this important bill for the cryptocurrency industry.

According to Jinshi reports, Trump stated that the Secret Service and law enforcement did an excellent job. They responded quickly and bravely. The shooter has been apprehended, and I suggest we "continue with the speech," but will fully comply with law enforcement's instructions. They (the dinner staff) will make a decision soon. Whatever that decision is, tonight's event will be very different from the plan, and we will have to do it again.

As institutional participation continues to rise, the industry as a whole will accelerate towards a more mature and systematic direction.

According to market news, Bitcoin is currently priced at approximately $74,230, down about 2.6% from the six-week high of $76,000 reached on Tuesday. The market generally expects the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates at the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.Traders widely believe that the expectation of unchanged interest rates has been fully priced in by the market, and the real catalyst for volatility will be the statements made by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at the post-meeting press conference—whether a hawkish or dovish stance will directly influence market direction. Additionally, the situation between the U.S. and Israel-Iran, inflation concerns, and rising oil prices also pose potential sources of volatility.In terms of price, Bitcoin needs to effectively break through the resistance level of $76,000 and turn it into support in order to further challenge the range above $80,000, with the next target being the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $87,411. If the bulls fail to hold, the price may retreat to the range of $72,000 to $65,000, and in extreme cases, it could drop to $60,000.
