📉 Financial Week: What to Expect from the Market?
This week, the markets may be volatile. Here are the key events:
📅 April 24 (Wed)
• Inflation in the UK — if the CPI is higher than expected, the pound will strengthen, and risk assets may decline.
• ECB rate decision — there will be surprises. The “hawkish” rhetoric will increase pressure on crypto.
📅 April 25 (Thu)
• US GDP for Q1 — if the growth is weak, the Fed may consider lowering the rate sooner than expected. This is a plus for BTC and gold.
• Press conference of the Fed Chair — we will closely monitor Powell's words. Hints at policy easing are bullish.
What to expect from the market?
• Volatility upwards.
• Central Bank decisions — the main catalyst of the week.
• If the data turns out to be “soft,” BTC may test $68K–$70K.
My forecast:
Sideways with shadows in both directions. Be careful with leverage — the week will be nervous.
