Key Events for Crypto

High Impact

Event	Frequency	Why It Matters
FOMC Rate Decision	8x/year	Rate hikes → risk-off → crypto down
CPI (Inflation)	Monthly	High CPI → more hikes expected
Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)	Monthly	Strong jobs → hawkish Fed
GDP	Quarterly	Recession fears → flight to safety
PCE Price Index	Monthly	Fed's preferred inflation gauge

Medium Impact

Event	Frequency	Why It Matters
PMI (Manufacturing)	Monthly	Economic health indicator
Retail Sales	Monthly	Consumer spending strength
Jobless Claims	Weekly	Labor market pulse
ISM Services	Monthly	Service sector health

Impact on Crypto

General patterns (not financial advice):

Rate cuts / dovish Fed → bullish for crypto (more liquidity)
Rate hikes / hawkish Fed → bearish for crypto (less liquidity)
CPI above expectations → bearish (more hikes coming)
CPI below expectations → bullish (rate cuts possible)
Strong jobs data → mixed (good economy but hawkish Fed)
Yield curve inversion → recession signal, initially bearish then bullish
