What Awaits Crypto Currencies
In addition to the above developments, there may be settlements conferences in the Ripple case and news about Polygon 2.0 next week. Although we have not added them to the schedule because the dates are not clear, they are likely to contribute to the market volatility. US PMI data will be released on Monday, and if they are below 50, it indicates a contraction. We will see how realistic Bloomberg’s recession forecast for the rest of the year is based on the GDP and PMI data.
Wednesday is the most critical day of the week. We will see both the interest rate decision and the voting of cryptocurrency regulations in the parliament. It is possible that cryptocurrency investors will see more volatility starting from Wednesday evening. Thursday’s data on initial jobless claims and GDP can cause instant movements.
