Crypto Economic Calendar

The economic releases that move Bitcoin and crypto, in your local time: FOMC meeting dates and rate decisions, CPI and PPI inflation, Non-Farm Payrolls, retail sales and GDP, with actual versus forecast numbers that update within about a minute of each release.

FOMC calendar for crypto traders

FOMC rate decisions are released at 2:00 PM Eastern, followed by the press conference at 2:30 PM. The calendar lists every scheduled meeting, so you can see the next Fed decision before you plan a trade.

CPI and PPI dates

US CPI and PPI inflation reports are usually released at 8:30 AM Eastern. A hotter than expected print can lift yields and the dollar and weigh on Bitcoin, while softer data can do the opposite.

Why macro events matter to crypto

Bitcoin trades as a risk asset that is sensitive to interest rate expectations and the US dollar. Volatility often spikes in the minutes around a release, which is why many traders avoid opening new positions right before one.

Actual vs forecast vs previous

Markets react to the surprise, not the number itself. The gap between the actual figure and the forecast moves price; a result in line with the forecast is usually priced in already.
