You Won’t Believe These 4 US Economic Events Affecting Crypto This Week! đŸ€Ż

by

So, here we are again, folks. A short week for the US economic calendar. Why? Because apparently, we need a day off for Labor Day. Never mind that we’re all laboring over these crypto prices, right? 🙄

But don’t worry! After that glorious Monday break, we’ve got some US economic data coming our way that could, and I stress could, affect Bitcoin (BTC) and the whole crypto circus. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues to perform like a bloated balloon, and don’t get me started on Ethereum (ETH) losing its grip at $4,400 – I mean, come on! đŸ”„

US Economic Indicators for Crypto Traders to Watch This Week

Hey, traders! You want to safeguard your precious crypto bags? Here’s what you need to front-run this week. Good luck with that! 😏

JOLTS

First up is the job openings report. Yes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is back with its “surprise I have more job openings” report. It’s like a bad episode of a sitcom where the joke just doesn’t land. This Wednesday, we’ll hear about job openings for July. Can we get a drumroll, please? đŸ„

So, economists think we’re probably sitting at 7.4 million openings. Yawn. If true, it just means the Fed can keep playing hardball with interest rates, and Bitcoin? Well, it’ll just be sitting there, twiddling its thumbs. 💾

ADP Employment

What’s next? The ADP employment report! It’s like the blockbuster sequel nobody asked for. This Thursday, we’re expecting the number of new jobs to crash to 75,000 from 104,000. I mean, who knew hiring could be so… “slumpish”? ⏳

But, hey, what’s a little economic downturn? It could actually be good for crypto! The paradox of life: bad news equals good news for Bitcoin. Just don’t get too hopeful, or you might end up in a coma of despair. đŸ˜©

Initial Jobless Claims

Next on the watchlist-initial jobless claims every Thursday. Nothing says “happy economy” like watching more people sign up for unemployment insurance, right? 😬

Now, we’ve seen 229,000 claims last week, and voila, they’re predicting it’ll rise to 231,000. Great! Just what we needed. And what’s the takeaway? More jobless claims could mean the Fed gets easier on us, which boosts Bitcoin’s charm. If only we could bring that charm to dating, too! 💔

Employment Report

Last but not least, the employment and unemployment reports on Friday. What a grand finale! The report’s expected to show 75,000 new jobs-glorious, we’re improving! Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is supposed to go up to 4.3%. Just remember: getting your hopes up can be hazardous to your wealth! đŸ˜đŸ’Œ

Basically, we’ll see a slight uptick in hiring, but more people looking for jobs than jobs available. We love a paradox! But good news for crypto? It could support some speculative rate cuts. Just don’t hold your breath. Or do. Either way, it’s going to be a wild week! đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž
