💵 💴 💶ECB Minutes Open the Door for a Possible Rate Cut in September💵 💴 💶
The newly released ECB minutes from the July meeting keep the door open for a possible rate cut in September but do not commit to any definite action. In the July meeting, ECB President Christine Lagarde adopted a more cautious stance regarding the central bank’s next steps, avoiding clear forward guidance on monetary policy. The newly released minutes reflect this cautious approach: the ECB wants to keep all options on the table for the September meeting, being more attentive to growth and inflation.
A Critical Moment That Will Determine the Fate of the Economy!
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has been determined to combat inflation over the past two years, even if it leads to a recession. Now, he is on the brink of winning this battle without collapsing the economy, but the next few months will be crucial. If successful and if he can reduce inflation without a significant increase in unemployment, it will be a historic success in central banking. Conversely, failure could lead the economy into a recession under the weight of high interest rates, proving the old adage about the Fed.

Supports: 100.68 / 98.00 / 97.00
BTC/USD
BTCUSD shows continued signs of recovery. Trading around the 60,900 level, the pair remains above the channel resistance.

Resistances: 62,000 / 64,000 / 66,000
Supports: 60,000 / 56,600 / 52,500
