FOREX & ECONOMIC CALENDAR
What is the Forex & Economic Calendar?
This economic calendar, also commonly called forex calendar or FX calendar, provides real-time detailed data about the upcoming financial events around the world today and any time in the near future, helping you get ahead of what moves the markets and therefore be able to make better investing and trading decisions.
The Economic Calendar tracks scheduled macroeconomic events — central bank decisions, employment reports, inflation data, GDP releases, and other market-moving announcements — that can significantly impact cryptocurrency prices. Although crypto markets operate 24/7, they have become increasingly correlated with macro events as institutional participation has grown.
Federal Reserve interest rate decisions are the single most impactful calendar events for crypto markets. Rate hikes raise the opportunity cost of holding risk assets, tend to strengthen the dollar, and historically have been associated with risk-off selling in crypto. Rate cuts or signals of easing have historically been associated with crypto price appreciation, as cheap money flows into risk assets.
Inflation data (CPI, PCE) and employment reports (Non-Farm Payrolls) shape expectations for future Fed policy, creating secondary market-moving events even when rates themselves are not being changed. A higher-than-expected CPI reading can trigger immediate risk-off selling in crypto; a weaker employment report can signal economic slowdown that may accelerate dovish policy expectations.
Monitoring the economic calendar before opening large crypto positions helps avoid the timing risk of being caught on the wrong side of a major macro event. Fed decisions and CPI prints routinely drive 3-10% single-day moves in Bitcoin and proportionally larger moves in altcoins. Planning position sizing and entry around these events is a basic but important element of institutional-quality risk management.
