Perhaps the most anticipated financial and economic event is just hours away, as the US Federal Reserve will have a new Chairman after more than eight years under Jerome Powell.

But, before we explore the seventeenth chair of the financial institution, let’s rewind the clock for a week and review what happened in the last seven days through the eyes of bitcoin (and a few alts). The primary cryptocurrency jumped past $82,000 at the end of the previous business week after the CLARITY Act made progress in the US Senate, but it was quickly rejected and had lost the $80,000 support by Friday evening.

It dipped further on Saturday to under $78,000 before it calmed at around that level on Sunday. Another couple of leg downs followed at the beginning of the business week, driving the asset south to its lowest price level since early May at $76,000.

This meant that the cryptocurrency had lost over $6,000 in 4-5 days. After this substantial retracement, bitcoin rebounded slightly and tapped $78,000 on Thursday. However, the predominantly bearish market structure and sentiment were too strong, and BTC was halted there, currently struggling to remain above $77,000.

A major market shift is expected to unfold soon, as the financial industry has braced for a change in Fed leadership. As reported earlier, the Kevin Warsh era begins today, but analysts from XWIN Research Japan outlined certain risks and on-chain signals that could be more important to BTC’s short-term price moves than the new Fed chair stepping in.

Consequently, BTC ends the week in the red, similar to most larger-cap alts. However, HYPE has stolen the show as it painted a new all-time high above $62 following a mind-blowing 43% weekly surge. ZEC, NEAR, ONDO, and VVV complete the double-digit price gainers club.
