Three Key Events This Week: Key Nodes That Set Market Direction

This week, global financial markets (including the crypto market) will witness three key events, each of which could impact short-term market trends and warrant close attention:

1. FOMC July Meeting Minutes (August 21st, early morning)

The key focus will be the Fed's true stance on current inflation—whether it recognizes the "cooling trend" in inflation and the extent of discussion (feasibility and disagreement) about initiating a rate cut in September. This will directly strengthen or weaken market expectations for a rate cut.

2. Jackson Hole Global Central Bank Annual Meeting (August 21st-23rd)

The focus of the meeting will be on Fed Chairman Powell's speech. The market will be closely watching for clearer policy signals (such as a "continued hawkish stance" or a "dovish shift"), rather than vague statements. This is crucial for setting the macroeconomic trend this week.

3. Global August PMI Preview (August 21st, morning)

As an "early health check" for the economy, two key dimensions require careful attention: whether the service sector shows signs of cooling (previously overheated in some economies), and whether the manufacturing sector continues to weaken. The strength of the data will indirectly influence the central bank's policy decision-making logic, which in turn will influence market sentiment.

Trading Strategy Recommendations

The market is currently in a period of "ambiguous policy expectations." It is recommended to maintain trading flexibility and avoid placing heavy bets on a particular direction too early. Wait until Powell's speech concludes, until the market has digested the core policy signals and the direction becomes clearer, before evaluating your positions and next steps to mitigate the risks associated with uncertainty. $BTC $ETH #加密市场回调 #中国投资者涌向印尼 #BitDigital转型
