🚨 Key Events This Week - What $BTC and Markets Are Watching

The week opens with Presidents’ Day in the U.S., meaning banks and federal institutions are closed. Lower liquidity conditions can often lead to sharper and less predictable price swings - especially in crypto.

📅 Main Catalysts

Wednesday - FOMC Minutes

Markets will analyze how the Federal Reserve reached its recent rate pause decision. Any shift in tone could impact rate expectations and risk appetite.

Friday - U.S. Advance GDP (q/q) + Core PCE

Core PCE remains the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge. A softer print could strengthen the disinflation narrative and support risk assets.

There is also potential for a tariff-related ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court later this week.

⚠ Additional Triggers

• Partial government shutdown (DHS-related) extended into the weekend - marking the third shutdown episode in four months.

• The Supreme Court of the United States returns from recess on Feb 20. Any decision regarding tariffs could materially shift inflation expectations.

If tariffs are rolled back, it would reduce inflationary pressure and potentially give the Federal Reserve System more flexibility - a scenario markets may interpret as risk-on.
