If You Trade Crypto, These US Dates Control the Market
Charts don’t move markets. Liquidity does.
And US macro data controls liquidity.
January = positioning
February = confirmation
Key dates traders must watch:
Jan 9, 2026 – US Jobs Report
Strong jobs = stronger dollar, pressure on crypto
Weak jobs = short-term relief
Jan 13, 2026 – US CPI
This decides inflation expectations and rate cut timing
Crypto reacts fast here
Jan 27–28, 2026 – FOMC Meeting
Markets position all month ahead of this
This is why January price action feels choppy and fake
Feb 6, 2026 – US Jobs (January data)
First real test of January moves
Feb 11, 2026 – US CPI (January inflation)
Confirms if trends are real or noise
Feb 18, 2026 – FOMC Minutes
Tone matters. Hawkish or dovish moves crypto
Crypto does not move randomly.
Liquidity expectations move price.
Jobs, inflation, and the Fed control liquidity.
Watch data first.
Then charts.
Emotion comes last.
