We’re heading into a full macro stress test for crypto 👇

Tuesday brings JOLTs, which gives the first real hint on how tight the job market still is.

Wednesday is the big one: FOMC rate decision + Powell’s press conference.

Thursday follows with jobless claims and PPI/Core PPI to wrap it all up.

Markets are already priced for a 25bps cut. That part isn’t the surprise anymore.

What does matter is the tone.

A few major banks are floating something bigger:

  • the Fed quietly signaling bond buying could return as early as Jan 2026.

If Powell even cracks the door open to that idea, liquidity narratives wake up fast.

That’s when risk appetite shifts — and historically, that’s when alts start breathing again.

Volatility is almost guaranteed this week.

Direction will be decided by what’s said, not just what’s done.

Eyes on macro. Patience wins here.
