The increase was driven by Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole economic symposium. In his final Jackson Hole speech, Powell strongly hinted at a potential interest rate cut in September, but he made no firm commitment. His remarks were aimed at balancing the risks of a weakening labor market with inflationary pressures.
Expectations for a rate cut rose sharply following Powell's remarks. Before Powell's speech, investors had seen a 70% chance of a quarter-point rate cut in September, but after his speech, that probability rose to 89%.
Expectations of interest rate cuts have led investors to shift to riskier assets. This development has created a strong bullish wave not only for Ethereum but also for the cryptocurrency market in general.
