The sell-off in the crypto market on Wednesday came as several analysts linked the decline to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech following the December 2024 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

周三加密货币市场出现抛售，几位分析师将此次下跌与美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔 (Jerome Powell) 在 2024 年 12 月联邦公开市场委员会 (FOMC) 会议后的讲话联系起来。

While the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points to the 4.25-4.5% range as expected, Powell rattled markets with statements suggesting that the apex bank's fight with inflation was far from over and interest rates were now likely to remain higher for longer.

尽管美联储按照预期降息 25 个基点至 4.25-4.5% 的区间，但鲍威尔的声明暗示这家顶级银行与通胀的斗争远未结束，利率现在可能会在更长时间内保持在较高水平，这令市场感到不安。

Powell disclosed that the most recent 25 bps rate cut was a “closer call” as opposed to market expectations heading into the FOMC that it was a certainty.

鲍威尔透露，最近一次降息 25 个基点是“千钧一发”，而不是市场预期 FOMC 降息是板上钉钉的事情。

The Fed now expects to see inflation at 2.5% in 2025, up 0.4% from its initial 2.1% projection in September 2024 and much higher than its 2% target.

美联储目前预计 2025 年通胀率为 2.5%，较 2024 年 9 月最初预测的 2.1% 上升 0.4%，远高于 2% 的目标。

As such, the central bank now looks to only cut lending rates by two-quarter points in 2025, down from the initially projected four, all of which could slow the influx of capital to risk markets like crypto.

因此，央行现在预计到 2025 年只会将贷款利率降低两个季度，低于最初预计的四个百分点，所有这些都可能减缓资本流入加密货币等风险市场的速度。

“It wasn’t today’s 25 bps cut that made markets freak out—it was the realization that inflation might stick around longer, and the Fed’s not quite ready to take its foot off the gas. Sentiment is shifting, and 2025 suddenly looks a lot less rosy,” prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez explained on X.

“让市场感到恐慌的并不是今天的 25 个基点的降息，而是人们意识到通胀可能会持续更长时间，而美联储还没有准备好放松警惕。市场情绪正在发生变化，2025 年突然看起来不那么乐观了。”著名加密货币分析师 Ali Martinez 在 X 上解释道。

Meanwhile, Powell also scuttled hopes that the Donald Trump administration would launch a Bitcoin national reserve. The Fed chair contended that the law did not allow the central bank to hold the digital asset, adding that the bank was not looking to change the law.

与此同时，鲍威尔也让唐纳德·特朗普政府建立比特币国家储备的希望落空。美联储主席辩称，法律不允许央行持有数字资产，并补充说银行不打算修改法律。

Markets Ticking Up

市场回升

Following the initial knee-jerk reaction, some crypto assets have started paring losses. BTC, for one, is back above the $100,000 price level, trading near the $101,300 price point but still down about 5% from its Wednesday highs.

在最初的下意识反应之后，一些加密资产已经开始减少损失。例如，BTC 回到 100,000 美元的价格水平之上，交易价格接近 101,300 美元，但仍较周三高点下跌约 5%。

ETH has also recovered to trade at nearly around the $3,700 price point, while XRP trades close to $2.35.

ETH 也恢复到接近 3,700 美元的价格点，而 XRP 的交易价格接近 2.35 美元。

As the sell-off in Bitcoin price appeared to slow down, several analysts advised investors to remain calm and avoid panic selling.

随着比特币价格的抛售似乎放缓，一些分析师建议投资者保持冷静，避免恐慌性抛售。

While 2025 may now look less exciting for risk markets than previously expected, analysts like Ali Martinez maintain that investors should bid their time and not panic sell.

尽管 2025 年对于风险市场来说可能不如之前预期那么令人兴奋，但阿里·马丁内斯 (Ali Martinez) 等分析师坚持认为，投资者应该把握时机，而不是恐慌性抛售。
