The upcoming week is set to be explosive. The market is bracing for six mixed shocks — from a political memecoin to decisions from the Fed. Here’s a guide to the dates that could flip the order books.
April 25 — Trump’s party. Top 297 holders of $TRUMP are gathering at Mar-a-Lago with guests like Mike Tyson. Back in May 2025, a similar event shot the token up to $15.55, but right now, $TRUMP is trading at $2.86 — that's a whopping 96% down from its peak in January 2025. Whales have already loaded up: a week before the event, addresses withdrew 850,488 TRUMP from Bybit. Prediction: if the news aligns with the bulls, target $3.50–$3.80. If not, a retracement to $2.75.
April 27-29 — Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas. The largest conference of the year, where major announcements usually happen, like those from MicroStrategy. This is where plans for ETFs and corporate treasuries were announced in the last cycle. Expect news on mining, protocols, and unexpected partnerships.
April 28 — BNB hard fork Osaka/Mendel. At 2:30 UTC, an update activating nine BEPs will go live on the mainnet. The key change is a gas limit of 16.7 million gas per transaction through BEP-652. Nodes must upgrade to BSC v1.7.2 in advance, otherwise they'll lose synchronization. A technical upgrade rarely moves the price by itself, but in a low liquidity environment, it could trigger a spike.
April 28-29 — FOMC. The Fed decides the fate of the rates. The probability of holding at 3.50–3.75% is 87.6%, while the chance of an increase is 12.4%. But the real focus isn't just the decision itself, but Powell's rhetoric at the press conference on April 29. Any hint of 'sustained inflation' will push BTC to $68K. A softening tone could pave the way to $75K+. And right after that: the Q1 GDP and PCE report, which could either strengthen the signal or destroy it.
May 1 — OMNI unlock. 7.99 million tokens ($5.54 million). It's not the biggest unlock of the week, but in the silence after FOMC, even $5 million can create a local shock.
Short: Trump — hype or dump. BNB — silent upgrade. The Fed — the main trigger. If you miss the direction even once, you'll lose a week. Keep an eye on April 29: Powell is more important than all unlocks combined.
