Cryptocurrencies August 7-13
This week, the most critical issue is the US inflation data. If the decline in inflation stops, the risk markets will face a challenging period. Leading indicators suggest that the decline is continuing. However, sticky inflation is challenging, and Fed officials say that maintaining a tight monetary policy for a long time may be necessary to overcome this issue. On the other hand, the Michigan data to be released on Friday will contain important signals about the current state of the US economy.
Unlocking events may cause price pressure. The network upgrade, specifically for Horizen, is a development that can positively affect the price. It may be beneficial for investors to be prepared for the volatility that will occur, especially on Thursday.
