Global markets are anticipating a critical quarterly earnings report alongside crucial US economic data releases this week. Crypto speculators are closely monitoring these external factors, which could generate turbulence in a pivotal week, bringing August to an end.

Global markets have a critical quarterly earnings report and crucial US economic data releases to look forward to this week. Crypto speculators are keeping a close eye on these external factors, which could generate turbulence in a pivotal week, bringing August to an end.

Here's a closer look at the key events:

Nvidia Q2 earnings

Nvidia's quarterly report card for the period ending July 31 is expected this week on August 28. The earnings details could, in particular, profoundly impact GPU and AI-related crypto tokens, which have mainly been thriving on the hype around their underlying technologies.

The California-based company designs, manufactures, and supplies GPUs for crypto mining and other intensive applications. Its dominance in high-performance computing solutions has positioned it at the intersection of accelerated computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain.

A robust Q2 earnings report from the tech giant will likely boost investor optimism surrounding these technologies. Market participants may also view positive earnings as a sign of continued growth in the sectors leveraging the technologies ultimately bolstering the respective narratives.

Such positive sentiment would bolster prices of tokens like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance [FET], RENDER, and TAO due to increased speculation.

However, a report delivering weaker-than-expected earnings would conversely hurt investor confidence in AI's role in the future of tech. This could dampen market sentiment, potentially leading to a sell-off across tech stocks and related crypto assets.

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, Render (again)

The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance token, ASI, has charted an impressive course in August, rebounding steadily to reclaim $1.05 last week.

TradingView data shows ASI has gained 45% in the last 7 days, standing out among top-performers alongside RENDER, up 33.81% in the same period.

Back in mid-March, Render price rose from $6.89 to a 2024 high above $13 during a window coinciding with the five-day NVIDIA's GTC 2024 AI conference, which concluded on March 21.

Although RENDER has endured dipping phases since, protocol data hints at encouraging levels of utility.

Both ASI and RENDER are up over 1,100% since their respective all-time lows in late-2022.

US economic data to shape market's next move

Beyond the corporate earnings reports, key events on this week's US economic calendar could set the stage for heightened volatility.

The crypto retail market has been susceptible to economic pressures and political plays in August – a theme expected to remain unchanged.
