Important Macro Week Ahead for Crypto Markets

Several key events over the next few days may influence market sentiment across traditional and digital assets.

1. Dec 9 – JOLTs Job Openings (Forecast: 7.2M)

Below expectations → signals softening labor conditions and more room for future policy easing.

Above expectations → indicates labor resilience and could reduce the probability of cuts.
2. Dec 10 – FOMC Decision + Powell’s Press Conference
A 25bps cut is widely expected, so Powell’s tone may play a larger role in shaping market reaction.
Analysts are watching for any comments related to liquidity management tools aimed at stabilizing smaller financial institutions.

Dovish tone → supportive for broader risk sentiment

Hawkish tone → potential for increased volatility
3. Dec 11 – PPI Inflation Data

Cooler PPI → reinforces the disinflation trend

Hotter PPI → may trigger short-term risk-off positioning
Why It Matters
Crypto markets tend to react to direction in yields, dollar strength, and liquidity expectations. Lower yields and clearer easing signals historically align with stronger risk appetite.
