Bitcoin and the crypto market just crushed one of their biggest weeks in 2026 ending on a killer high note, and now they are sliding into this fresh potentially huge week even though the economic calendar feels lighter than usual. 🖤
Fed Sparks The Week 🦇
The last stretch was massive for the Fed as the US central bank raised rates by 25 bps for the first time in over 3 years. Even though most folks expected it the move still stirred up some crypto volatility with BTC dipping to $75,000 at first but bulls took over and pushed the asset past $80,000 by the end. 🌙
There is no FOMC decision this week yet the Fed stays front and center with at least 8 policymaker speeches lined up and traders will hunt for any clues on how they see that hike or if more could come later in 2026. 💀
For Bitcoin this is key since the market wonders if September was just a quick fix for sticky inflation or the start of tighter policy ahead and recent projections point to at least one more hike coming. 🔮
Key Events This Week:
1. Weekly ADP Employment Change data – Tuesday
2. September S&P Manufacturing PMI data – Wednesday
3. September S&P Services PMI data – Wednesday
4. August New Home Sales data – Thursday
5. August Durable Goods Orders data – Friday
6. Total of 8 Fed…

PMI Drop And Trump Xi Meetup 🕸️

Overall this week feels lighter on paper but those Fed talks and the big meeting could still shake things up for Bitcoin and the broader scene. 🖤
