Published at: May 31, 2022

“The Market Report” with Cointelegraph is live right now. On this week’s show, Cointelegraph’s resident experts discuss how the United States Federal Reserve and its chair, Jerome Powell, influence the crypto market.

But first, the Cointelegraph experts analyze the latest news in the market. Will Bitcoin’s uphill battle continue? And will LUNA 2 be able to recover the losses of its predecessor?

Next, market analyst Marcel Pechman carefully examines the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) markets. Are the current market conditions bullish or bearish? Has the bottom been confirmed? Pechman is here to break it down.

Then, time for the big question: How do the decisions of Powell and the Federal Reserve impact the crypto market? The Cointelegraph experts give a robust overview of the Fed’s tools and why they play such an important role in the current market climate.

After the analysis, take a look at insights from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, a platform for crypto traders who want to stay one step ahead of the market. The analysts use Cointelegraph Markets Pro to identify two altcoins that stood out this week: Tezos’ XTZ and Fantom’s FTM.
