The post Jackson Hole raises tension, eyes on Powell appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Updated on August 20, 2025, 10:00 CET Takeaway: volatility increasing as the market recalibrates rate cuts Bitcoin (BTC) loses ground and slides below USD 113,000, with an intraday low around USD 112,565.

On one hand, uncertainty about interest rates pushes to reduce risk exposure; on the other hand, the area USD 112,000–113,000 is considered key to avoid a more marked weakening.
