<h2 dir="ltr" id="powell-sending-ripples-through-crypto-market-with-crucial-statements">Powell sending ripples through crypto market with crucial statements</h2>
<p dir="ltr">During a news conference held on Wednesday, July 31, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/powell-sending-ripples-through-crypto-market-with-crucial-statements" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated</a> that the central bank could execute a much-awaited rate cut&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/BloombergTV/status/1818721597596794983" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">this September</a>. Powell pointed out that the economy is now "moving closer" to the point where it would be appropriate to lower the present policy rate, "but we’re not quite at that point." Previously, July was discussed as the month to implement the first rate cut; however, the Fed has unanimously decided to wait until the next meeting. Meanwhile, following Powell's speech, the likelihood of a September rate cut currently stands at 93.5%.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 dir="ltr" id="shiba-inu-eyes-birthday-rally-if-shib-price-history-proves-itself">Shiba Inu eyes birthday rally, if SHIB price history proves itself</h2>
<p dir="ltr">This month, August 2024, Shiba Inu meme crypto is celebrating its fourth anniversary. As the SHIB community is celebrating, investors are closely watching the SHIB token's price chart in anticipation of&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-eyes-birthday-rally-if-shib-price-history-proves-itself" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">a potential rally</a>. Based on Shiba Inu's history, August has always been a good month for the token, with an average return of 2.7% and a median return of 3.4%. It is rare for both the median and the average to be positive, which tends to support expectations. Due to this rarity, there is a higher chance that SHIB will close August on a positive note, raising optimism for a bullish trend as the summer ends.</p>
