Bitcoin economic calendar

Know the events that can
change volatility.

A calendar does not predict direction. It tells you when liquidity and expectations may change so you can decide whether to reduce size, wait, or avoid a new setup.

Events to watch

Build a weekly risk calendar.

Check official release schedules and convert the announced time to your local timezone. Crypto trades around the clock, including before and after traditional market hours.

US CPI

Inflation surprises can shift interest-rate expectations, the US dollar and broader risk appetite.

Federal Reserve decisions

Rate decisions, projections and press conferences can produce abrupt repricing across global markets.

Employment data

Payrolls, unemployment and wage data can change expectations for growth and monetary policy.

ETF and institutional flows

Large creations, redemptions and portfolio rebalancing can affect demand and short-term liquidity.

Options and futures expiries

Expiry, positioning and liquidations can amplify moves, especially when leverage is concentrated.

Protocol and venue events

Major network changes, exchange incidents and regulatory deadlines can create market-specific risk.

Practical workflow

Plan before the release.

Use official calendars, then mark the event window on your own trading plan. Avoid assuming the first price move will be the lasting one.

  1. 01

    Check the BLS and Federal Reserve schedules at the start of the week.

  2. 02

    Note the release time and any consensus estimate from your chosen data provider.

  3. 03

    Review open exposure and invalidation levels before the event.

  4. 04

    Wait for spreads and volatility to normalise if conditions exceed your plan.

Keep the setup and context together.
