Bitcoin weekly preview

Boom Or Crash? Here’s Why Bitcoin Enters A Pivotal Week

The Bitcoin market is bracing for a crucial week filled with macroeconomic developments that could significantly shape its trajectory. This week’s events are poised to provide critical data that could influence US monetary policy decisions and, by extension, Bitcoin’s price movements.

#1 Bitcoin Awaits FOMC Minutes Release – August 21, 2024

On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will release the minutes from its July meeting at 2:00 PM ET. During this meeting, the FOMC held the Fed Funds rate steady at 5.25% to 5.50%. This decision met market expectations, which had already priced in the current rate based on prevailing economic conditions. However, the forthcoming minutes are expected to provide deeper insights into the Federal Reserve’s views on inflation, economic growth, and future monetary policy.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell previously indicated that the Fed might consider rate cuts if inflationary pressures continue to ease. Investors and analysts will be scrutinizing the minutes for any hints of this shift, especially subtle changes in language regarding economic risks or inflation outlooks.

Matthew Dixon, CEO of Evai, commented on X: “BTC appears to be in the midst of a minor correction on both the larger fractal triangle AND the smaller wave 2 currently underway. Wave (in blue) may have a little lower to go (likely) before we get some powerful upside break. FOMC minutes Wednesday OR Chair Powell Friday may provide the stimulus.”

#2 NonFarm Payrolls Data Revision – August 21, 2024

On the same day, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will revise the NonFarm Payrolls data for July 2024. Analysts from Goldman Sachs project a substantial downward revision in these figures, potentially by as much as 600,000 to 1,000,000 jobs. This potential downward adjustment is based on benchmarking to the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), which might exclude up to 500,000 unauthorized workers previously counted.

This revision is critical because it could dramatically alter market expectations regarding the US labor market’s strength and subsequently influence the Federal Reserve’s rate decisions. A weaker job market would typically lead to increased expectations for rate cuts as the Fed might aim to stimulate economic activity.

Crypto analyst Bera (@doomsdart) described the implications: “The rate cut expectations which were around -2% for the next 12 months are going to get violently repriced again into more cuts for this year and even more by August 2025. This will cause the markets to have another red earthquake and this time there is no telling how much lower we’re going.”

#3 Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Speech At Jackson Hole – August 25, 2024

The week’s events will culminate with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium on Friday at 10:00 am ET. This speech is highly anticipated as it could confirm the Fed’s short-term direction regarding interest rates.

The global markets, including Bitcoin, are sensitive to Powell’s comments because they directly influence expectations about the US economy’s fiscal environment. If Powell signals more aggressive rate cuts, it could signal a rising liquidity and weaken the dollar, triggering a massive bull run for financial markets and Bitcoin.

Mohamed A. El-Erian, President of Queens’ College and chief economic adviser at Allianz, stated via X: “The big focus this week for the global economy and markets will be on the Jackson Hole conference, particularly Fed Chair Powell’s session on Friday morning.”

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $58,111.
