Macro Update: U.S. Shutdown Risk and Market Sensitivity
Reports indicate an increased probability of a U.S. government shutdown by January 31 due to unresolved funding negotiations.
Why this matters:
Elevated political uncertainty often leads to a short-term “risk-off” environment.
During these periods, capital typically shifts away from higher-risk assets toward perceived safe havens.
Crypto and equities can experience increased volatility around key support levels.
Takeaway:
Rising macro uncertainty doesn’t define long-term trends, but it can influence short-term price behavior. Monitoring policy developments alongside market structure remains important.
