Economic calendar of events July 15-21 that can influence the crypto market. 

This week there are no clearly significant macroeconomic events. It's more of a performance week. But the key one is one, and it is today - the speech of the head of the US Federal Reserve Powell. There may be increased volatility at 19:30 Kyiv time and Moscow time / 21:30 Astana time.

Otherwise, during the week there are many speeches by members of the US Federal Reserve (Friday - as many as four). But they will rather allow us to understand the “general temperature in the chamber” and will not cause volatility in the markets at the moment.

A complete list of important events for the week is on the screenshots. Key:

Monday, July 15:

- Early in the morning, data on China's GDP in the second quarter of 2024 was released - slightly worse than forecast. Industrial production is slightly better than forecast, unemployment is within forecast. All this is important for the crypto market only indirectly - as part of assessing the situation in the global economy. But if the rumors turn out to be true and by the fourth quarter China actually lifts the ban on cryptocurrencies (or at least opens a “bridge” for the flow of money from mainland China to Hong Kong crypto funds) - all data on the Chinese economy will be very important.
