The entire market pumped today after Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell discussed the inflation target changes for the U.S. Tyler Winklevoss, said that one of Bitcoin’s biggest boosters has always been the Fed under the leadership of Jerome Powell.
The Fed, under the leadership of Jerome Powell, continues to be Bitcoin's biggest booster. On Thursday, he will deliver a speech about how the Fed will begin targeting higher inflation.
Bitcoin and others did have a slight pump after the speech that only lasted a few minutes. Bitcoin is now lower than what it was in the last 24 hours and other major coins are seeing an extended pullback hinting at a possible reversal period in the short-term.

Quote of the day
Gold is a great way to preserve wealth, but it is hard to move around. You do need some kind of alternative and Bitcoin fits the bill. I’m not surprised to see that happening.
