The current week brings important economic data that could potentially affect Bitcoin and the crypto market as well.
Greeks.live just released a list of big events of the week, following the recent Bitcoin Conference that released “the goodwill of the US political community on crypto”, according to them.
This week’s main news returns to the macro market and includes the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate resolution, two noteworthy events. Once news exceeds the market expectations, important moves could take place in the crypto markets as well.
Top 8 Heavyweight Events of the Week
Here are the most important economic events during this week that could potentially affect Bitcoin and the crypto market:
- US ADP employment data for July will be released (July 31).
- Bank of Japan will announce rate resolution and outlook report (July 31).
- US initial jobless claims for the week data will be released (August 1).
- The US Fed is set to communicate the interest rate decision (August 1).
- Bank of England will reveal its interest rate decision (August 1).
- The US ISM Manufacturing PMI for July is set to be released (August 1).
- The US July unemployment rate will be out (August 2).
- The US non-farm payrolls for July will also be released (August 2).
Crypto Market Outlook
According to Greeks.live, the week is filled with macro events, but market expectations are more consistent, which means that the IVs for all major terms are nowhere near the levels seen during last week’s Bitcoin Conference which saw Trump showing increased support for BTC.
The crypto market formed a wide oscillatory trend since March and Bitcoin managed to approach its ATH. At the same time, Ethereum is more sluggish, and the exchange rate has fallen sharply, with ETH IV of all major terms only slightly higher compared to the one of BTC.
Regarding the timing to choose the right IV, traders can buy short-term options, and especially short-term BTC call options are cost-effective, according to the same notes shared on X by Greeks.live.
Also, it’s worth noting that the Bitfinex interest rate market is relatively quiet, and there are occasionally good interest rate orders that can be actively traded.
Newly-Released Metrics Show Potential Bitcoin Price Breakout
According to the latest reports, some Bitcoin metrics are showing the potential for upward moves for the coin.
For starters, Bitcoin futures’ open interest has reached a new ATH, suggesting that the investor demand for BTC is increasing which could lead to price rallies.
Bitcoin open interest is a metric that monitors the total number of open positions in BTC and it has just reached a new ATH of $39.46 billion. The number surpassed the previous ATH of $39 billion reached back in March, CoinGlass data notes.

Also, other indicators show that Bitcoin’s price could be on track to break a new ATH.
More than 75% of Bitcoin’s short-term holders have seen profits as of July 24, which could translate into a more upward momentum for the coin, since the short-term cohort of holders is usually used to gauge Bitcoin retail demand.

Also, Bitcoin’s growing dominance suggests that it has the potential to get more of the total crypto market cap, according to Benjamin Cowen, Into the CryptoVerse’s CEO and founder.
Regarding Bitcoin‘s price today, at the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading above $69,000, up by over 3% in the past 24 hours.
