The crypto industry is expected to register heightened volatility in the coming weeks amid high-impact news, especially in the United States.
The crypto market opened in September with high expectations of heightened volatility, ahead of a possible bullish recovery in the fourth quarter. Bitcoin (BTC) price has led the altcoin industry in mild recovery on Monday after ending last week and last month on a bearish note. According to the latest crypto price oracles, Bitcoin price trades about $58.4k on Monday during the early New York session, up around 1 percent in the last 24 hours.
However, the fear of further crypto correction in September has not completely diminished. Bitcoin’s fear and greed index hovered around 26 percent, suggesting extreme fear of further crypto capitulation, despite today’s Bitcoin price rebound above $58k.
Top Crypto-related Events to Monitor in September
September will be an eventful month for the entire crypto market following the positive correlation between Bitcoin, altcoins, and major stock indexes. On the top list is the anticipated economic shift in the United States after Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggested a possible interest rate cut this month during the Jackson Hole speech last month.
On September 6, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the unemployment rate, which the Wall Street analyst estimates will be at around 4.2 percent. On September 11, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will release US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. On the following day, the US Department of Labor will release the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past week.
These figures will significantly impact the September 18th decision by the Fed Commission on the next phase of the interest rates.
