These Three Crypto Events To Spike Crypto Market Volatility
A major spike in volatility is expected in the crypto market this week as three important events that heavily influence digital assets will happen in the next few days, starting from Tuesday.
New inflation data will be released this week and the market will receive a direct signal about the upcoming changes in the monetary policy of the United States, which affects the crypto market heavily.
In case inflation data remains below market expectations, the financial regulators of the world might go easy on actions that work against risk-on assets like cryptocurrencies. On contrary, if the rate is more, we will most likely see another plunge.
Right now the hottest topic going on in the crypto market is Ethereum Merge. The Merge will certainly have an effect on the market, as we are already seeing a lot of movement on the crypto market-related scenes: liquidity- platforms, borrowing and lending markets, and high activity on mining pools.
Also, another rate hike should not be a surprise for either the financial or cryptocurrency markets, as the actions of financial regulators around the world have already been priced in by the market previously and should not cause a volatility spike.
In only one case, we are going to see a sudden jump in volatility is unexpectedly high inflation numbers that will cause a 100 bp rate hike, which is 25 bp higher than that expected by most market participants.
