Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will take part in a public event and live Q&A session tonight at 22:30 Beijing time (March 30). Amid ongoing Middle East tensions and heightened market volatility, this appearance ranks among the week’s most anticipated macroeconomic events. Markets widely expect Powell to maintain a cautious stance, avoiding clear signals on the rate-cut path. With inflation still above the Fed’s 2% target and added uncertainty from tariffs and geopolitical conflicts, the probability of the Fed holding rates steady in the near term is rising—reinforcing the “no rate cut” narrative. Tensions persist between former President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve.

March 30th — According to monitoring from Hyperinsight (via t.me/HyperInsight), the whale address 0x939 continues to hold a BTC/HYPE hedge pair: a **$28.5 million long position in BTC** (average entry price: $70,557) and a **$19.38 million short position in HYPE** (average entry price: $39). Today, BTC extended its gains, while HYPE briefly tracked BTC’s upward move before retreating below $38 — posting a 4.5% 24-hour drop. Both positions have performed well, with the pair generating **over $1.28 million in profits in the past 24 hours** — validating its bet that BTC would outperform HYPE. This address previously deployed a similar strategy: holding a ~$50 million long position in BTC while shorting ETH, XRP, ADA, and 8 other tokens. That strategy paid off, and its cumulative profit for that cycle still stands at approximately $37.1 million.

On March 30, the U.S. dollar strengthened again as escalating Middle East conflict concerns lifted oil prices and damped risk sentiment. Earlier, the yen firmed after Japanese officials ramped up warnings about potential intervention to support the currency, prompting a slight dollar pullback. But the dollar’s decline was limited and short-lived, buoyed by its safe-haven appeal and the U.S.’s status as a net oil exporter. ING Group’s Chris Turner noted in a report: “Unless Iran delivers a clear easing signal, the dollar is unlikely to give up its monthly gains in the short term.” (FX168)
