S&P 500 fell for the fifth straight day ahead of Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech

S&P 500 fell for the fifth straight day ahead of Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech

The US stock market fell again on Thursday, dragging major indexes deeper into red territory as investors brace for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks this Friday at the central bank’s annual gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The S&P 500 fell 0.4%, closing at 6,370.17, its fifth straight day of losses. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.34% to end at 21,100.31, and the Dow Jones dropped 152.81 points, or 0.34%, closing at 44,785.50. Powell’s Friday appearance could bring a signal on what’s next for monetary policy, especially as inflation pressures stay hot. Traders on CME’s FedWatch tool have priced in a 74% chance that the Fed will lower rates at its September meeting. Retail investors pull back as tech giants lose steam For the first time in two months, retail investors flipped to the sell side. Data compiled by JPMorgan strategists revealed that mom-and-pop investors offloaded roughly $140 million in tech stocks just in the past week. That’s a big reversal after weeks of daily buying averaging over $1 billion a day. The pullback comes as megacap tech stocks, the heavy hitters like Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon, all slid through the week. Their losses were enough to pull the entire market down. The S&P 500 lost 0.8%, and the Nasdaq dropped 2.1% during the same stretch. Palantir, a darling among retail traders, tumbled more than 13% over the week. Tom Essaye, founder of The Sevens Report, wrote that tech had been carrying the market for years, but valuations had gotten way out of hand. “Investors have benefited greatly from the impressive performance of the tech sector, not only so far in 2025, but also over the past several years,” Tom said. He didn’t hold back about Palantir, calling it a perfect example of inflated expectations: “Palantir (PLTR), a stock that is the best performer in the S&P 500 YTD, also trades at a quasi-absurd 212X forward earnings.” Even with this retreat, retail investors haven’t ditched the market entirely. They’re stepping away from the overheated tech names, but they haven’t left the game. They’re just not buying blindly anymore. Trump increases pressure on Powell ahead of Fed speech As Powell prepares to speak, pressure is coming from more than just Wall Street. President Donald Trump has been relentlessly criticizing Powell and the Fed, pushing hard for lower rates. That part’s familiar. But now it’s gotten personal. Earlier this summer, the White House went after the Fed over its massive renovation project at its Washington, D.C. headquarters. Around that same time, Trump floated the idea of removing Powell altogether, but eventually backed off. This week, Trump’s administration turned its attention to Fed Governor Lisa Cook, accusing her of mortgage fraud involving two government-backed loans. It’s a shift from monetary complaints to personal accusations. All of it puts Powell in a political storm heading into his Jackson Hole remarks. Despite the noise, Powell is expected to keep his tone steady. That’s been his style for more than seven years. Michael Arone, the chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors, said Powell stays focused on the Fed’s responsibilities: “He’s done a good job in terms of keeping the Fed’s independence, ignoring the noise and some of the questions he gets, and keeping it focused on the data dependency and the Fed’s dual mandate.” Michael added that Powell “has taken the high road as it relates to the Fed’s independence and some of the pressure he’s clearly getting from the Trump administration.” Even if Powell doesn’t name names in his Friday speech, there’s a chance he nods to the chaos. The last few months have put the Fed under intense scrutiny, both from political attacks and from the market itself. The Fed chair may use the stage to push back subtly, without breaking from his usual calm public face. Get seen where it counts.

Former Mastodon Guitarist Brent Hinds Dead At 51

Former Mastodon Guitarist Brent Hinds Dead At 51

The post Former Mastodon Guitarist Brent Hinds Dead At 51 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – SEPTEMBER 22: Brent Hinds of Mastodon performs at Riot Fest 2024 at Douglass Park on September 22, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Barry Brecheisen/Getty Images) Getty Images Founding guitarist for Mastodon Brent Hinds has died from a fatal motorcycle accident at the age of 51. Atlanta News First reported there was an accident between a Harley Davidson and a BMW SUV on Wednesday, August 20th, which The Fulton County Examiner later confirmed the rider of the motorcylce was former Mastodon guitarist, Brent Hinds. Hinds and Mastodon ‘mutually parted’ ways with each other back in March of this year. “Friends and Fans, After 25 monumental years together, Mastodon and Brent Hinds have mutually decided to part ways,” Mastodon announced on social media. “We’re deeply proud of and beyond grateful for the music and history we’ve shared and we wish him nothing but success and happiness in his future endeavors. We are still very inspired and excited to show up for fans in this next chapter of Mastodon. As we move forward, all 2025 touring plans will remain intact. We look forward to seeing you on the road.” Since exiting the band, Hinds had publicly voiced his displeasure for the other band members, making some speculate if the decision behind Hinds’ exit was not amicable or mutual. This Story Has Been Updated Mastodon has since issued a statement regarding former guitarist Brent Hinds’ death. “We are in a state of unfathomable sadness and grief… last night Brent Hinds passed away as a result of a tragic accident. We are heartbroken, shocked, and still trying to process the loss of this creative force with whom we’ve shared so many triumphs, milestones, and the creation of music that has touched the hearts of so many. Our hearts are with Brent’s…

Could FOMC minutes be hinting at a hawkish Jackson Hole speech?

Could FOMC minutes be hinting at a hawkish Jackson Hole speech?

The post Could FOMC minutes be hinting at a hawkish Jackson Hole speech? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Forward Guidance newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. As we reach the end of August, all eyes are once again on the Grand Tetons.  Not because of its striking views, but because the annual Woodstock of central banking is about to go down.  Tomorrow morning, Fed Chair Jerome Powell will deliver his keynote speech. Historically, these speeches have served as key inflection points for the Federal Reserve’s thinking on monetary policy from a high level. More importantly, it’s an opportunity for Powell to speak for himself and not on behalf of the whole FOMC committee. There are two key catalysts to consider as we await tomorrow’s speech.  The first: any indication about whether a rate cut will come in September.  Right now, CME futures project a 71% odds of a cut, down from 92% odds last week: The crux of this consideration is a very weak jobs report last month, combined with inflation that seems to keep surprising to the upside and shows no signs of returning to the Fed’s 2% target.  Andy Constan tweeted out a helpful framework of how to think about the probabilities of what could happen here: The second potential catalyst: The Fed will publish the results of its five-year monetary policy framework review.  In its last review in 2019, the FOMC introduced its flexible average interest targeting (FAIT), which targeted an average of 2% of inflation over the long term. With inflation running above its 2% target for nearly five years now, this framework is expected to be retired and a return toward a hardline target of 2% is anticipated.  Underlying this shift are implications around what the Fed perceives to be the neutral rate.  Right now, the Fed sees the current federal funds rate as slightly above neutral.…

Cold Wallet’s 10% Rewards Challenge ETH’s ETF Rally & DOT’s Breakout

Cold Wallet’s 10% Rewards Challenge ETH’s ETF Rally & DOT’s Breakout

The post Cold Wallet’s 10% Rewards Challenge ETH’s ETF Rally & DOT’s Breakout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto markets are pushing forward with traders deciding between established protocols with deep fundamentals and newer projects offering alternative models of value. The discussion is no longer just about short-term momentum but about what can sustain relevance in the long term. Ethereum price prediction remains a centerpiece, supported by strong ETF inflows and the interest of institutional holders looking to benefit from DeFi and proof of stake growth. The signals here continue to point toward steady appreciation. Polkadot price movement is holding in a tight range, forming patterns that suggest a breakout could soon arrive. Alongside these narratives, Cold Wallet ($CWT) presents a different kind of strength with measured tokenomics and allocation strategies designed for durability. Each of these choices offers upside, though the foundations and timelines vary widely. ETH’s ETF Momentum Fuels Long-Term Growth The Ethereum price prediction is strengthening as ETF inflows reshape the landscape. Major funds such as BlackRock and Fidelity are steadily increasing exposure, pushing ETH through resistance levels with conviction. Analysts now outline targets between $5,000 and $7,500, supported by the expanding base of capital and Ethereum’s central role in digital asset infrastructure. Ethereum is no longer viewed purely as a speculative trade. It is becoming part of corporate treasury strategies while powering DeFi, stablecoins, and Layer 2 scaling. This combination of liquidity, adoption, and utility gives ETH a foundation for growth. Polkadot Prepares for a Breakout Toward $7.67 Polkadot price action has established a strong foundation near $3.75 support, suggesting accumulation rather than volatility-driven swings. Traders are watching $5.09 as the next key level, with technical setups pointing toward $7.67 if momentum accelerates. This disciplined structure highlights DOT’s ability to hold steady while preparing for expansion. Fundamental progress is adding weight to the charts. Parachain launches, DeFi integrations, and growing developer activity are reinforcing…

Devs behind ‘truly decentralised’ protocols won’t face DoJ prosecution, official says

Devs behind ‘truly decentralised’ protocols won’t face DoJ prosecution, official says

Weeks after Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm was convicted on a money transmission charge, a Department of Justice official said the agency would reject similar charges going forward. “Where the evidence shows that software is truly decentralised and solely automates peer to peer transactions, and where a third-party does not have custody and control over user assets, new [money transmission] charges against a third party will not be approved,” Matthew Galeotti, acting assistant attorney general of the department’s Justice Criminal Division, said Thursday. “If criminal intent is present, other charges may be appropriate.” Galeotti was speaking at the American Innovation Project Summit in Jackson, Wyoming. The AIP is a nonprofit that launched earlier this week with support from several crypto companies and advocacy groups, including Coinbase and Uniswap Labs. “The fact the DOJ acknowledged that software developers should not be held responsible for third party’s misuse of their code affirms what we have bee advocating for years,” Amanda Tuminelli, executive director of crypto advocacy firm DeFi Education Fund, said in a statement. Tuminelli introduced Galeotti at the conference. Galeotti’s comments address one of the industry’s chief concerns: prosecutors’ ability to bring charges against software developers who build applications that were later used by cybercriminals seeking to launder stolen crypto. Storm, the Tornado Cash developer, said his protocol was developed to provide privacy on Ethereum and other blockchains. But Tornado Cash became popular with cybercriminals, including hackers affiliated with North Korea, who used the protocol to launder more than $500 million in crypto stolen in 2022. Last month, Storm’s criminal trial began in New York. Storm was facing charges of conspiracy to launder money, evade sanctions, and operate an unlicensed money transmitting business. The money transmission charge alarmed the industry. Storm’s supporters said that it misunderstood the way Tornado Cash works and that a conviction would chill the development of privacy-preserving software. Early this month, jurors convicted Storm on the money transmission charge, but could not reach a unanimous decision on the money laundering and sanctions evasion charges. Prosecutors could choose to retry Storm on both counts. It was not immediately clear whether Galeotti’s announcement would have protected Storm from the charges he faced in his criminal trial. Although the industry held that Tornado Cash never took custody of user funds and was fully decentralised — in other words, that Storm was powerless to stop hackers from using the protocol — prosecutors argued Storm in reality exercised meaningful control. Nevertheless, crypto policy experts celebrated Galeotti’s announcement Thursday. “For too long, crypto and open source developers in the US have been living under a cloud of doubt,” Katie Biber, chief legal officer at crypto venture firm Paradigm, wrote on X. “That uncertainty ends today, with an emphatic statement from the DOJ that shipping code is not a crime.” The announcement builds on a Justice Department memo issued before Storm’s trial began in July. In a four-page memo published in April, the department said it no longer intends to pursue cases in which it charges crypto mixers “for the acts of their end users or unwitting violations of regulations.”In a footnote, however, the department said it was not changing its guidance in cases where business owners know they’re handling dirty money — exactly the argument that prosecutors made in Storm’s trial. Galeotti doubled down on that sentiment Thursday. “Our view is that merely writing code without ill intent is not a crime,” Galeotti said. “Innovating new ways for the economy to store and transmit value and create wealth without ill intent is not a crime. The criminal division will, however, continue to prosecute those who willingly commit crimes.” Aleks Gilbert is DL News’ New York-based DeFi reporter. You can reach him at aleks@dlnews.com.
