CRYPTO IS HEADING INTO A HIGH-VOLATILITY WEEK
Despite the pressure across global markets, Bitcoin has shown strength. But we still need confirmation.
A weekly close above $82K and the 1W 50MA would strengthen the bullish case and signal that bulls are in control.
⚠️ Here's what could drive volatility next week:
Oct 28: FOMC decision
The Fed is expected to hold rates, but watch for hints of future rate hikes.
Oct 29: U.S. PCE inflation and GDP data
Strong GDP growth with cooling inflation could pump Bitcoin and crypto, while hotter inflation could delay rate cuts and put pressure on risk assets.
Oct 30: Japan unemployment
The BOJ is expected to hold rates steady, but any surprise hike could strengthen the yen and trigger volatility across global markets, putting pressure on Crypto.
And what adds to the volatility is that all of this is happening just days before the U.S. midterm elections, and historically, Bitcoin has corrected after every midterm.

🚨This week's key events are going to be BIG.
It's FED week.
The Fed HIKED last month, and on Wednesday it decides again, a day before headline PCE inflation is expected to come in at 3.6%, nearly DOUBLE its 2% target.
Then Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon, worth over $10 TRILLION combined, all report earnings within 30 hours.
Coinbase and Strategy report Thursday too, and about $11 BILLION in Bitcoin options expire Friday.

Markets price a 90% chance the Fed holds, per CME FedWatch.
A hotter PCE print would raise December hike odds, and a cooler one would lower them.
Polymarket’s next phase will be judged less by headline volume and more by liquidity, settlement quality, and whether traders can trust the market when things get messy.
The next edge in prediction markets might be understanding the rulebook. That includes both how a contract settles and where it can legally trade.
Company KPI contracts could let traders separate a business forecast from a stock-price bet. Getting the revenue number right doesn’t mean getting the stock reaction right.
Before you quote that probability, check the order book. A headline-sized number can sit on pocket-sized liquidity.
The future is 76% confident.
