According to BlockBeats, analyst Ryan Rabaglia has highlighted the significance of U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech on Friday, August 22, as Bitcoin experiences a recent pullback. Investors are keenly observing Powell's remarks for insights into the central bank's policy direction ahead of the September meeting. Ryan Rabaglia, a general partner at Rise Capital, noted that several mainstream cryptocurrencies have reached or approached historical highs, leading to substantial profit-taking. The Jackson Hole Summit, a key event this week, is drawing widespread attention.
