Bitcoin and crypto enter another potentially turbulent week with fresh US inflation data, a packed Federal Reserve speaking schedule, and oil-market developments all capable of shifting expectations for December\u2019s FOMC meeting.<\/p>\n
After the recent Wall Street crash and BTC\u2019s slide to multi-month lows, even a small surprise could trigger another sharp move.<\/p>\n
Monday is expected to be a slow day in terms of macro events, even though prices have already gone wild<\/a>. The biggest macro factor arrives on Tuesday when the US will publish the October Consumer Price Index data. September\u2019s headline inflation came in at 3.7% year-over-year, and Tuesday\u2019s report will be closely watched for signs that price pressures are finally cooling.<\/p>\n Current expectations point to a softer monthly reading, but markets still price in roughly an 80% chance of another 25-basis-point Fed hike in December. A hotter-than-expected CPI print would likely reinforce the case for further tightening, could lift Treasury yields and the dollar, and put risk-on assets such as BTC under pressure again. A softer reading could do the opposite, weakening the hike narrative for December.<\/p>\n Friday will deliver further inflation data with the release of the Producer Price Index. Expectations suggest a 0.4% monthly PPI increase, down sharply from September\u2019s 1.3%, while core PPI is expected around 0.3%. This metric matters because persistent price pressure further up the supply chain can eventually filter through to consumer prices and influence the Fed\u2019s policy.<\/p>\n Key Events This Week:<\/p>\n 1. October CPI Inflation data \u2013 Tuesday<\/p>\n 2. OPEC Monthly Report \u2013 Wednesday<\/p>\n 3. Initial Jobless Claims data \u2013 Thursday<\/p>\n 4. October Existing Home Sales data \u2013 Thursday<\/p>\n 5. October PPI Inflation data \u2013 Friday<\/p>\n 6. Total of 17 Fed Speaker Events This Week<\/p>\n We expect another volatile week ahead.<\/p>\n \u2014 The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) November 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n The Kobeissi Letter noted that 17 Federal Reserve speaker events are scheduled throughout the week, which could be almost as important as the inflation data itself. Officials, including Michelle Bowman, Christopher Waller, Michael Barr, and Mary Daly, are due to speak, creating numerous opportunities for markets to reassess how aggressively the Fed may tighten next.<\/p>\n The fourth major catalyst comes from the energy market, as OPEC will publish its monthly oil-market report on Wednesday. It could influence crude prices through updated supply and demand projections. Oil has become a major factor in the inflation outlook since the Iran war broke out, and another sustained price spike would complicate the Fed\u2019s efforts to bring inflation down.<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin Under Pressure Again Ahead of 4 Major Market-Moving Events<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin and crypto enter another potentially turbulent week with fresh US inflation data, a packed Federal Reserve speaking schedule, and oil-market developments all capable of shifting expectations for December\u2019s FOMC meeting.
