Macro Events That Move Crypto
FOMC, CPI, NFP — macroeconomic dates that affect the crypto market.
Crypto market increasingly reacts to macroeconomic data — especially Fed decisions and inflation data.
Key macro dates:
1. FOMC Meeting (Federal Reserve) • 8 times per year (every 6 weeks) • Interest rate decision • Powell press conference • High volatility day — crypto can ±5-10% • Hawkish Fed = crypto falls, Dovish = crypto rises
2. CPI (Consumer Price Index) • Monthly inflation data (every ~12th of month) • High CPI → Fed stays hawkish → crypto falls • Low CPI → Fed can cut rates → crypto rises
3. NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) • Monthly employment data • Strong NFP = strong economy = less Fed pressure
4. PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) • Fed preferred inflation indicator • Monthly
5. Treasury Yields (US10Y) • 10-year US Treasury yield • Rises → alternative for risk-bearing investments • Falls → more capital into crypto/stocks
