Summary of Powell's Jackson Hole speech
Powell's speech lasted approximately 15 minutes, and journalists did not ask questions at Jackson Hole.Let's look at the key points from the speech:
- "The time has come for policy to adjust." This is a clear announcement that the Fed will cut rates at the September Fed Meeting.
- The cooling in labour markets is unmistakable" and "further cooling in the labour market is unwelcomed." This is a clear shift from focusing on inflation to the labour market and its moderating/weakening, but it is still relatively fine for now. They just don't want to see a continuation of this.
- "My confidence has grown that inflation is on target for 2.0%". That's the Fed's inflation target, so all is good here, and the focus of policy shifts from inflation to the labour market.
- We will do everything we can to support a strong labour market" and "the current level of our policy rate gives us ample room to respond." Powell is telling us that the current rate is quite restrictive and that they have a lot of room to cut Interest Rates, especially if the labour market weakens further. This suggests 75bps to 100bps of cuts in 2024.
Cryptonary's take
Ultimately, this is as dovish/bullish as Powell could have got.There's a clear shift today from Powell away from a focus on inflation and now to the labour market, with an emphasis on the fact that they're going to be cutting rates in September and that they have some cuts to do—i.e., they're going to undergo a rate-cutting cycle here to get in front of further labour market weakening.
This is very positive for risk assets, assuming growth and the labour market hold up over the coming months; if they do, crypto prices will be much higher come Christmas. The market has reacted positively here.
If you're looking to add exposure, we'd look at buying up dips over the coming weeks; we wouldn't necessarily chase today's move. Remember, there is a Jobs data release on September 6th; if that comes in weaker, that might provide the opportunity to put the remaining USDT to work. Overall, super positive. A rate-cutting cycle is coming. And, if the labour market and growth hold up (I expect they both will), then I wouldn't be surprised to see these prices come year-end:
- BTC = north of $85,000
- SOL = north of $300
- ETH = north of $4,000
- WIF = north of $7
- POP= north of $2

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
