📅 What Could Move Markets This Week?
There are many events lined up this week. Let’s walk through them
🧑🏭 Labor Market Data #labourmarket
These reports tell markets how strong or weak the U.S. economy really is — and more importantly, what the Fed might do next.
🏭 ISM Manufacturing PMI (Monday) #PMI_DATA
Shows how factories are doing.
Strong number → economy is fine → Fed may stay tight → crypto can struggle.
Weak number → economy slowing → Fed may cut rates → crypto usually likes this.
👉 Funny thing: Bad news can be good for crypto because it brings easier money.
📊 JOLTS Job Openings (Tuesday) #jolts
Shows how many jobs are available.
Too many jobs → economy still hot → inflation risk → bad for crypto.
Fewer jobs → cooling economy → good for rate cuts → good for crypto.
📉 Initial Jobless Claims (Thursday)
Tells us how many people are newly unemployed.
Rising claims → economy weakening → Fed
pressure → crypto may pump.
Low claims → economy strong → rates stay higher → crypto may cool off.
📌 January Jobs Report (Friday) 🚨 BIG ONE
This is the most important data of the week.
Why?
It combines jobs, wages, and unemployment
Directly influences Fed interest rate decisions
One surprise here can move stocks, bonds, crypto — everything
👉 This report usually causes the biggest volatility.
💻 Big Tech Earnings (Secondary Impact)
🔍 Alphabet (Google) – Wednesday $UAI
Strong AI + cloud growth = good for tech sentiment.
Doesn’t move crypto directly, but risk appetite improves.
📦 Amazon – Thursday $KMNO
AWS + ads matter most.
Layoffs and AI spending can raise recession fears.
Again: sentiment effect, not direct crypto impact.
🧠 So… What REALLY Moves Markets the Most?
✅ January Jobs Report
It affects interest rates
Interest rates affect liquidity
Liquidity moves crypto
Everything else supports the story —
but Friday decides the mood.
