US Economic Data To Shape Crypto Market Performance
The crypto market along with the broader financial market eagerly awaits the key economic data this week. For instance, the Consumer Confidence data for May will be released on Tuesday, June 25, while the Consumer Sentiment (final) data for June will be released on Friday.
In addition, the second revision of the U.S. GDP data for the first quarter will be released on Thursday, June 27. Notably, on Friday, the Personal Income, Personal Spending, and the U.S. PCE inflation data are scheduled to be released.
The U.S. PCE and Core PCE inflation data will be closely watched by the crypto market watchers, for clarity on the current inflationary pressure. On a YoY basis, the PCE inflation is expected to cool down to 2.6% in May from 2.7% in the prior month. Besides, the U.S. Core PCE inflation is also expected to move down to 2.6% from 2.8% in April.
Crypto Market Awaits FTX Hearing
The upcoming FTX court hearing on June 25 is poised to be a critical event for the crypto market. Matrixport co-founder Daniel Yan highlighted its importance, noting that this hearing in the FTX Chapter 11 bankruptcy process could set the stage for a subsequent confirmation hearing, clarifying the timeline for finalizing the repayment package.
Meanwhile, crypto market participants will keenly observe the hearing for insights on FTX’s future and the potential impacts on the broader crypto landscape. The outcome may significantly influence market sentiment and strategies.
Bottom Line
These events are likely to impact the crypto market sentiment next week. Notably, the crypto market faced sluggish trading last week, reflecting the waning risk-bet appetite of the investors.
Notably, Bitcoin, along with the altcoins, retreated last week, with the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF noting outflux of over $500 million. However, on a positive note, eight firms including BlackRock, Fidelity, 21Shares, Grayscale, and others, have filed U.S. Spot Ethereum ETF S-1 amendments last week.
Considering that, the crypto market will keep a close watch on the upcoming performance of the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETF, which might impact the BTC price. In addition, Ethereum will also attract market attention, as it might lead to a long-awaited altcoins rally.
