The upcoming week brings several important events in the macro economy, such as the PMI and PCE release, Consumer Confidence Index, US GDP secondary estimate for Q4, as well as several initiatives from crypto projects like Omni Network, Venom, Celo, Filecoin, and others that could affect the markets and your trading strategy.
Monday
S&P Global PMI Manufacturing & Services (March), which provides an early assessment of the US economy in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors and this will be one of the items that the FED will consider regarding further interest rate cuts. This may affect the priorities of institutional and large private investors, creating optimism or pessimism, so you should consider this in your trading strategy.
Meanwhile, the crypto industry is expecting a few important events too.
For example, ssv.network will vote on the integration of SSVLM module into the Lido Staking Router.
Omni Network will hold an activation of the first native staking in the Omni EVM ecosystem, taking a step towards an independent economic layer for its users.
Starknet is coming out with Resil v0.13.4, which includes the integration of Cairo-Native, designed to optimize the execution of smart contracts and reduce transaction fees.
Berachain launches its hase 1 PoL and moves to an incentive distribution system via new DAO mechanisms, promising greater efficiency and profitability.
Tuesday
We are awaiting the US Consumer Confidence Index from the Conference Board, as well as the house purchase statistics for Fuvral, which can also have an impact on the state of consumers and significantly influence the stock and bond market dynamics, especially in the consumer and construction sectors.
An important event from the crypto industry will come from Venom, where there will be a vote on the creation of a decentralized DAO model of network management, which can fundamentally affect the model of resource allocation and have an impact on the price of this asset.
Wednesday
The big event here will be the latest US oil inventory data from the EIA, which is especially critical against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s energy initiatives, as well as record electricity consumption in an era of fierce competition in blockchain and even more in AI domains.
However, it is not only the US that will provide us with important news, we are also waiting for the UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for February, which will reflect the dynamics of not the last economy, as well as indirectly indicate the position of the EU sector in a similar matter. Also, we are waiting for the Spring Forecast Statement of the UK Ministry of Finance, which may bring very important news, especially against the backdrop of the vector for the independence of Europe from the United States.
From the crypto industry, Celo’s transition to Ethereum L2 with mainnet activation is due. It can hardly be overemphasized how wide the horizons will open for Celo if it can seamlessly interact with the rich Ethereum ecosystem, which could affect both its asset price and the price of ETH.
Also, another very important player Filecoin will take a step in its own direction and update CalibrationNet, which promises to improve the performance and reliability of the storage network. This could not only affect the price of their own token but also in a way impact AI, as Filecoin has a big focus on becoming a key player in distributed learning LLMs.
Wednesday will also hold two notorious cryptocurrency conferences, the DC Blockchain Summit taking place in Washington DC, and the Crypto Assets Conference happening in Frankfurt. The Washington event will host key speakers, including several U.S. politicians who are involved in Crypto policy.
Meanwhile, the Crypto Assets Conference will also have its fair share of notorious speakers, including representatives from Kraken, J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and even the Director General for Market Infrastructure and Payments at the European Central Bank, Ulrich Bindseil.
Thursday
On Thursday, we are waiting for a report from the US, namely the secondary estimate of Q4. This could also significantly strengthen or weaken expectations of future rate cuts from the FED, but also generally affect the asset value of the entire US stock market, especially high-risk assets.
We are also expecting a strategic update from the top player in the crypto industry Hedera, namely a community call with a focus on Post-Quantum crypto and AI integration, which has had crypto enthusiasts worried about the security of blockchain networks for some time now.
Friday
Friday will bring another GDP report, but now from the UK, namely for Q4 in annualized and quarterly terms, which will primarily affect UK financial markets and stocks, but will inevitably affect global markets as well.
Coming back to the US, we will see data on the key PCE indicator for March, and it will have a direct impact on the FED’s decision on the next rate cuts, being a priority in this matter.
The crypto industry, on the other hand, has prepared an update from Ronin, namely the integration with Alchemy, which will greatly expand the possibilities of NFT infrastructure and tokens and will significantly affect the potential scalability of Ronin as a gaming blockchain.
Conclusion
All in all, we can say that we are in for an important week. It may not be as epic as the last one, but it is worth remembering that everything is changing incredibly dynamically, so there may be announcements about new, even more important events already tonight.
Stay tuned for updates, be adaptive in the rapidly evolving financial and crypto landscape, and keep your strategy grounded, balanced, and beneficial.
