Federal Reserve's Harker: May Temporarily Hold Rates Steady

2025.02.08 00:32:20

February 8th: On this day, the US January seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls reached 143,000. This figure is significantly lower than the market's expected level of 170,000 and hits a new low since October of last year. Federal Reserve's Gullsby provided comments on the macro data, stating, "This is a rather robust non-farm payroll report. It appears that we are on the verge of achieving full employment. Based on recent observations, I am optimistic that tariffs will not ultimately pose a significant obstacle to trade. I am satisfied with the current economic development path. Tariffs may act as a 'wrench' in the supply chain. Wage growth is roughly in line with the 2% inflation level. Long-term market-oriented inflation expectations suggest that the market believes the Fed will be able to keep inflation under control at 2%." "Currently, the Federal Reserve is keeping interest rates unchanged. However, in the next 12 to 18 months, interest rates will be slightly lower than the current level. Under greater uncertainty, the pace of interest rate cuts will slow down. In the process of achieving the 2% inflation target, we may temporarily maintain interest rates unchanged. The neutral balance point for interest rates has decreased. Stable interest rates need to be achieved on a 'cautious' timetable. I do not think the Federal Reserve will be involved in any sovereign wealth fund." (Jin Shi)

Bitcoin is only $1,000 away from the last all-time high of $69,000 during the bull market, the liquidation map shows that it has already been "overleveraged."

**Bitcoin Reclaims $60k Range After 456 Days, Nears 2021 All-Time High** February 5th data from HTX shows Bitcoin has climbed back into the $60,000 price range for the first time in 456 days—only $1,000 below its November 1, 2021 bull market peak of $69,000. Over the past 24 hours, the entire crypto market saw $948 million in liquidations, with long positions accounting for $790 million of those totals. Liquidation charts indicate the recent extended downtrend has left “little left to liquidate,” as open long positions below current levels are scarce. Key liquidation levels to watch: - A drop below $65,000 would trigger $780 million in long position liquidations on mainstream centralized exchanges (CEXs). - A break above $73,000 would lead to $930 million in short position liquidations on major CEXs. Both figures are lower than the $1 billion+ liquidation volumes seen in similar price ranges historically, suggesting minimal liquidation pressure ahead—whether prices move
