Crypto traders enter the new week with a packed macroeconomic calendar. With $BTC still highly volatile and liquidity sensitive to interest rate expectations, US economic reports continue to act as short-term catalysts for price movements.
This week, the market is focused on 4 key points 👇
1️⃣ Interview with Fed Governor Stephen Miran (Monday)
The current sentiment is quite divided.
Some investors expect that a more open stance towards stablecoins could indirectly support the crypto ecosystem.
Others worry that Miran's larger role in the future could lead to a more cautious policy stance.
Miran was once considered relatively moderate and had made statements in favor of easing restrictions to support jobs.
Any signals regarding liquidity can directly impact risky assets like Bitcoin.
2️⃣ US Jobs Report (Wednesday)
Current forecast: growth of 50,000 to 55,000 jobs.
The market often falls into paradoxes:
Moderately cooling data → increased expectations of a more dovish Fed → positive for crypto.
But if things get really bad → raising fears of recession → money may temporarily seek safe havens.
3️⃣ Weekly Unemployment Benefits (Thursday)
This report provides a quick signal about workplace health.
Recently, sudden spikes in the number of unemployment benefit applications have often been accompanied by:
High volatility
Liquidation of leverage
Strong reaction in the short term
However, in the long term, a weaker market could put pressure on the Fed to ease monetary policy.
4️⃣ CPI & Core CPI (Friday) – the highlight of the week
This is the data that has the biggest impact on interest rate expectations.
Lower-than-expected inflation → reduces pressure for "higher for longer" inflation → supports risky assets.
High inflation → rising yields → crypto may come under pressure.
Many traders view this event as crucial in determining the direction of the next price movement.
Summary
ETFs, institutions, and the expansion of stablecoins remain long-term stories.
But in the short term, liquidity and Fed expectations continue to be the variables driving price action.$BTC
This week, therefore, could bring significant fluctuations in both directions.
