Economic calendar of events on May 20-26 that can influence the crypto market.

A new week - continuous speeches by members of the US Federal Reserve. There are especially many of them on Monday and Wednesday. What is most important is one other speech tomorrow, May 21, by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Based on her statements, we can expect a surge in volatility in the markets.

Also this week, a series of macroeconomic data will be released for the US, Canada, UK, EU, and Japan. But all of them are secondary and should not cause volatility in the moment.
