Saltık This week in the crypto world has been marked by significant volatility, with Bitcoin (BTC), altcoins, and broader markets all showing instability ahead of key macroeconomic events. As market watchers brace for the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, developments in the ongoing legal saga involving Telegram and Ripple have further fueled uncertainty.
Crypto Market Turbulence Amid Macro Factors
Both the U.S. stock market and crypto markets experienced a turbulent week, as rumors swirled about Nvidia (NVDA) being subpoenaed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ). While Nvidia quickly refuted the claims, stating it had not received a subpoena, the uncertainty contributed to the week’s volatility.
Adding to the instability, the release of U.S. Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) data showed 7.7 million job openings—a 4.6% decrease from the forecasted 8.1 million. This sparked further volatility, with market participants now anticipating a potential Federal Reserve rate cut of 50 basis points (bps) in the coming month. However, September has historically been a challenging month for both stock and crypto markets, leaving broader market impacts unclear.
