Critical Events This Week Could Make or Break the Anticipated “Uptober” Market Rally

In our last update in September, we discussed that crypto experts predict price surges for Toncoin (TON) and Yeti Ouro (YETIO) this October.

Crypto experts predicted price surges for Toncoin (TON) and Yeti Ouro (YETIO) in the last update. As October nears, investors are optimistic about significant gains, especially with Bitcoin leading the charge and October being a historically profitable month for cryptocurrencies.

However, several critical events this week could either fuel the anticipated “Uptober” market rally or derail it. One of the most significant events is a speech from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, scheduled for Monday at the National Association for Business Economics conference. Investors are eager to hear Powell’s insights, particularly regarding potential rate cuts in November, which will be further clarified by employment data to be released midweek.

Major Events That Could Influence the Market

According to a recent tweet from The Kobeissi Letter, an industry-leading commentary on global capital markets, several major events could influence the market.

Key Events This Week:

1. Fed Chair Powell Speaks – Monday

2. September ISM Manufacturing data – Tuesday

3. JOLTs Jobs data – Tuesday

4. ADP Nonfarm Employment data – Wednesday

5. October OPEC Meeting – Wednesday

These reports, especially the ISM Manufacturing PMI and employment data, will provide insights into the U.S. economy’s health and directly affect investor sentiment.

Moreover, job data on Thursday and Friday will shed light on the U.S. employment situation, a critical metric with substantial impact on the crypto market.

Current Market Overview

The crypto market saw strong bullish activity in the last update, contributing to a significant recovery. However, the market conditions have cooled slightly, with the global crypto market cap now at $2.25 trillion, down by 2.16%.

On the other hand, certain tokens like the failed FTX exchange token and meme coins such as ENA and BONK are defying the broader market trend with notable gains.

As the market enters “Uptober,” investors are hoping these key events do not shake the market too much.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $63,632.15, with a 3.07% decrease over the past 24 hours and a 0.54% increase in the past week. See BTC price chart below.
