This week brings a packed schedule of critical economic catalysts that could reshape market sentiment across traditional and digital assets.

Monday kicks off with November Pending Home Sales data—a leading indicator for real estate activity that often moves sentiment on risk-on sentiment. Tuesday, the Fed releases its latest meeting minutes, a closely watched gauge of monetary policy direction and interest rate trajectory. Wednesday features Initial Jobless Claims, another real-time labor market snapshot that traders dissect for signs of economic momentum or slowdown.

Thursday deserves special attention: China announces the activation of its Silver Export Restrictions while US markets close for the New Year holiday—expect reduced liquidity and potential gaps at the open. Friday rounds out the week with December S&P Global PMI data, providing final confirmation on manufacturing and service sector health heading into 2025.

For crypto portfolio managers, these macro releases typically trigger volatility spurts. Weaker-than-expected labor data historically favors risk appetite, while hawkish Fed signals can spark defensive repositioning. Keep your calendars marked and position sizes calibrated—these events rarely fade into background noise.

Monday to Friday, this wave of data bombardment feels like a big fluctuation is coming. The most feared moment is the Fed minutes. Silver export restrictions? Here we go again? China’s tactics are really unpredictable. If the jobless claims data is bad, will we take off directly this week? When liquidity is insufficient, it’s easiest to get cut. Better to be cautious. The hawkish Fed is back? I need to add to my short positions.

Oh my, another week of major events, my heart can't take it Can the Fed minute data not be so chaotic this time... Thursday's silver export restrictions + US stock market holiday, this liquidity is deadly Honestly, just waiting for Friday's PMI to confirm if we can survive in 2025 Really, all the data can explode, making money is truly a tough luck Now all positions are held tightly, just waiting for a data point to hit hard If unemployment data is weak, is that actually a good thing? A bit counterintuitive From Monday to Friday, it's all traps, I think I might get hammered this week

Thursday's Chinese silver ban combined with the US stock market holiday, this wave really needs caution... Liquidity drops and bad things follow Fed minutes are back again, always messing around like this Damn, one after another from Monday to Friday, are they trying to wipe out retail investors? Let's wait for Wednesday's unemployment data, this is the real decisive moment Silver export ban + US stock market holiday, this combo is really quite harsh All macro data released in one week, even a scriptwriter couldn't come up with such a plot Don't mess up Friday's PMI, this will be the key to a good start in 2025

Looking at the current situation, the pattern seems to have formed. The FOMC minutes are likely to cause some volatility that day. The distribution of chips indicates that institutions are laying low. This liquidity gap is a typical retail mentality of going all-in waiting for a breakout. From a probabilistic strategy perspective, it is advisable to reduce positions first. No doubt, on Thursday, China will announce restrictions on silver exports, and the US stock market will be closed. This is when black swan events are most likely to occur. The interesting levels are right here. Weak employment data is a common signal; once risks are released, a rebound opportunity arises. But now, the sentiment indicator is already above 80, indicating overheating. Where is the technical support? Just look at the chart yourself—don't follow the herd and chase highs.

It's another week of data bombardment. Will the Fed loosen or not this week? It depends on what they say. China's export restrictions? Can this shake crypto? Friday's PMI is the real deal; the previous data was just noise. Weak unemployment data is actually good; how great is that? Daring to hold positions with such poor liquidity? Truly brave. Waiting to see how Thursday's opening goes, it might gap up directly. After the earnings week, it should be like this, one after another. When the Fed signals hawkishness, it's over; time to reduce positions. This week, you basically have to watch the screen; those who miss out will lose.

Wait a moment, I need to analyze this week's data... According to on-chain data, there are patterns in the fund flows before and after each Fed meeting. Once the meeting minutes from Tuesday are released, the wallet movements of major players can reveal clues. The China silver export restrictions are interesting... As liquidity tightens, the sudden announcement is obviously paving the way for a major move. I had already guessed it would be like this.
