XRP The Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and strong employment data reshape market expectations
In the past week or so, the U.S. monetary landscape has changed significantly. The shift first stems from the hawkish stance of current Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, and was later driven by strong U.S. jobs data released last Friday. As a result, the direction of market expectations has also shifted, and investors and experts have begun to price a possible rate hike during the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting, scheduled for September 15 - 16.
After analyzing the potential impact of this macro environment on Bitcoin (BTC), we turned our attention to XRP. Artificial intelligence assistant ChatGPT described its case as "arguably more interesting than bitcoin's"(perhaps more interesting than bitcoin). So, what kind of situation will XRP face?
How will XRP respond?
It is currently forecast that the probability of a rate hike in September will exceed 50%, which sends a strong warning signal to risk-prone assets. This sentiment was briefly evident after the jobs report was released last Friday: Bitcoin prices plunged $3,000 at one point, while XRP slipped from $1.45 to below $1.40, where it found support.
ChatGPT estimates that although the cross-border token has two buffers-strong ETF demand and progress in the Clarifying Better Oversight of Digital Assets in the United States Act-its response to the Fed's interest rate hike could be "more drastic." aiIt is predicted that if a preliminary interest rate increase of 25 basis points is implemented on September 16, XRP prices may fall by 4% to 8%. At current levels, this would cause its price to fall below the $1.30 mark.
If the situation worsens,$1.20 will become the first major support level to be tested in the coming days or even weeks. If Walsh takes a more hawkish stance in his post-FOMC speech, XRP prices could fall further into the $1.05 to $1.15 range.
One of the buffer factors mentioned above, the CLARITY Act, has not made substantial progress recently. The bill was extended again in early August, and in the latest situation, a September vote originally scheduled to take place one day before the end of the FOMC meeting is no longer confirmed. Therefore, if interest rates rise, XRP may face a more painful trend.
Potential "dark horse" factors
ChatGPT believes that spot XRP ETFs may be a bright spot for underlying assets. Even during periods of market turmoil, these ETFs performed relatively solid and improved after a rebound in August. If the Fed signals that there is no immediate second rate hike and ETF demand remains strong, XRP could rebound quickly after the initial shock. By then, US$1.50 to US$1.60 will become the focus of attention, as many previous XRP breakthrough attempts have been blocked in this range.
However, ChatGPT warned that if the Federal Reserve surprised the market by raising interest rates by 50 basis points and Washi took a completely hawkish stance, the future prospects of the altcoin could deteriorate rapidly and prices could experience another round of decline or even fall below the $1.00 integer mark.
