This week is unusually important for the crypto market, with several major economic reports arriving back-to-back. It essentially functions as a full macro stress test.
On Tuesday, the JOLTs report offers an early read on how tight the U.S. labor market remains. Wednesday delivers the main event: the FOMC rate decision followed by Powell’s remarks. Thursday closes things out with jobless claims and PPI/Core PPI, rounding off a dense run of data.
Markets have already priced in a 25bps rate cut, so that part isn’t expected to move sentiment much. What really matters now is the Fed’s messaging. Some major banks are suggesting the Fed may hint at restarting bond purchases as soon as early 2026. Even a slight acknowledgment from Powell could quickly reignite liquidity-driven narratives.
Such a shift often boosts risk appetite, and historically this is the kind of environment where altcoins begin to pick up again.
Volatility this week is highly likely. The market’s direction will come from the tone and guidance rather than the rate move itself. Staying focused on macro developments — and being patient — will matter most.#BTC86kJPShock
