Crypto Bulls Eye Market Shakeup as Economic Winds Shift—Are You Positioned for the Storm?

Macro tremors send crypto traders scrambling as traditional finance indicators flash warning signs.

Fed whispers and inflation ghosts haunt the markets

Bitcoin maximalists grin while altcoin bags get heavier—because nothing says 'hedge against inflation' like meme coin volatility. Meanwhile, Wall Street still can't decide if crypto is the future or just a very elaborate prank on Jamie Dimon.

Smart money's already rotating into decentralized hedges as fiat currencies sweat. The question isn't if crypto will react to economic data—it's how violently.

$107,381 is currently trading above $107,000. Although altcoins continue to show weakness, there is potential for reduced uncertainty in July to support the crypto market. But how should the latest data be interpreted?

Impact of U.S. Economic Data on Cryptocurrencies

President Trump is intensifying his pressure on Powell, and three members have indicated that interest rate cuts are on the horizon. The U.S. and Iran have a meeting planned for next week. Should this meeting result in clear messages ensuring that current conflicts will not escalate, the crypto market may see further gains. The U.S.’s effort towards a swift ceasefire signals that they want to avoid disrupting their economic policies, which is crucial for prospective interest rate reductions.

Several key data points, including GDP figures, have just been released, and here’s what they reveal:

• U.S. Initial Jobless Claims: 236K (Forecast: 243.2K Previous: 245K)
• U.S. GDP Quarterly Change: -0.5% (Forecast and Previous: -0.2%)
• U.S. Durable Goods Orders (Preliminary Data): 16.4% (Forecast: 8.5% Previous: -6.3%)

As evident from the data, the likelihood of a September interest rate cut is almost certain. The quarterly GDP contraction should concern the Fed, and it is expected that tomorrow’s PCE data may clarify the prevailing sentiments among Fed members. In approximately 35 days, the Fed will announce its new rate decision. If the tariff-related uncertainties are resolved and swift agreements occur at the start of July, it is possible that rate cuts could be brought forward and priced in by the market.
