Calendar: Bitcoin faces a week of highly significant economic data

Source: CritpoTendencia Original Title: Calendar: Bitcoin Faces a Week of Highly Relevant Economic Data Original Link: The prices of the main cryptocurrencies faced a truly negative week, with massive liquidations among investors.

For this new weekly calendar, Bitcoin faces a schedule of data that could carry enormous weight. This is related to the relevance of these data in the upcoming monetary policy decision in the US.

On December 9-10, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will hold its last meeting of 2025. Economic conditions in the US mean that any decision by the central bank could have a huge impact on risk assets.

For digital currencies, the environment ahead of this meeting will be highly significant, considering the weakness facing that market. In fact, the most pessimistic analysts talk about a possible crypto winter if the Fed does not implement a new 25 basis point rate cut. The most concerning aspect is that September employment data suggest the Fed could postpone the new rate reduction.

Despite this, some FOMC officials announced their support for a cut, which eased tensions. But this is not the only element Bitcoin faces in this week’s economic calendar.

Numerous data releases, speeches, and reports will be presented in the world’s major markets. These could have a highly significant impact on the price of the largest cryptocurrency in the short term.
