Bitcoin Price On Edge As Market Awaits Key Economic Reports

After weeks of strong performance, Bitcoin’s recent price crash has raised concerns about further downside and the possible start of the bear market. Starting today, the next few days will be crucial in determining whether BTC can recover from present bearish conditions or decline further.

Given the state of the market, The Kobeissi Letter, an industry-leading commentary on global capital markets, has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight six key economic events that could impact the broader financial and crypto market.

The first event on the list is the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, February 11. This economic data measures the number of job openings in the United States (US). Typically, a strong labor market suggests that the economy remains stable, potentially delaying further rate cuts from the FED and causing Bitcoin and other digital assets to struggle.

The second economic data set to be released the same day is the short-term energy outlook for the Energy Information Administration (EIA). This provides insights into fuel demand and supply. While this economic event may not be a direct crypto driver, energy costs impact inflation, which affects FED policies. These policies could hurt or boost the Bitcoin price.

The third event scheduled to launch on Wednesday this week is the February Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data. This economic data measures the inflation at the consumer level and plays a critical role in determining future FED rate cuts. If CPI comes in higher than expected, it could impact Bitcoin.

Next on Thursday is the weekly jobless claims report. If jobless claims continue to rise, it could signal a weakening economy, which may increase expectations of a rate cut and boost Bitcoin.

Another critical event launching the same day is the February Producer Price Index (PPI). This data measures inflation on a wholesale level. A higher-than-expected PPI report could influence Bitcoin and possibly lead to further crashes by reducing the impact of a near-term FED rate cut.

Last Financial Report Scheduled For This Week

As the market closely follows the latest reports on critical economic events, Bitcoin faces more volatility. Its price declined again by 2.28% in just 24 hours. Over the past month, the pioneer cryptocurrency crashed 17.22%, pushing its price down to $80,380, according to CoinMarketCap.

If the upcoming economic reports do not favor the market, Bitcoin risks seeing further price crashes. The last financial report scheduled for release on Friday, February 14, is the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index. This provides insights into the level of confidence consumers have in the economy.

A decline in sentiment could signal economic uncertainty, which may have a bearish effect on the Bitcoin price, especially if investors shift to safer assets. At the same time, a low sentiment could also support Bitcoin if it fuels expectations of a FED rate cut.
