Tonight, two sets of US housing data, the currency price is likely to move this way
What will be announced?
• New housing starts and building permits (watching the speed at which the US is building houses and granting permits).
• Expectations are slightly worse than last month.
How does it affect currency prices? In one sentence
• Slower construction and permits → Economy is cooling → Rate cuts are more likely → Currency prices are easier to rise
• Faster construction and permits → Economy is heating up → Rate cuts are more difficult → Currency prices are likely to fall
Three simple scenarios
1. Much worse than expected (numbers significantly smaller)
• Moves in a favorable direction, BTC/ETH rise first, altcoins may follow.
2. About the same as expected
• Minimal impact, market looks at news from each sector (ETF, RWA, rotation).
3. Much better than expected (numbers significantly larger)
• Short-term pressure, may drop first, especially high-volatility altcoins.
Operational tips
• After the data is released, wait 5–15 minutes for the second wave to decide;
• Don’t add high leverage before the event, maintain stop-loss/profit-taking to avoid 'news spikes'.
It's that simple: Weak data → tends to rise; Strong data → tends to fall; About the same → little impact. $SOL
