Pay Attention to Cryptocurrencies
The most critical day of the week will be Friday. Wage increases and employment data are expected to increase volatility. The unemployment rate should rise, non-farm employment should fall, and the rate of increase in average earnings should slow. On Tuesday, the Mina Coin price may rise for a while as an important milestone will be crossed with the Berkeley update. You can find details by searching for Berkeley in the search section.
The ADP data could lead to an initial increase in volatility as it serves as a leading indicator for Non-Farm Payrolls. On the other hand, the meeting on Thursday in the House of Representatives subcommittee regarding the tokenization of real-world assets could affect altcoins (such as LINK) in this area.
