Crypto Traders Eye Major Events to Relieve Market Woes: Crypto Week Ahead
Crypto markets, down after mid‑October liquidations with BTC and ETH below early‑October highs, face a packed calendar this week that could alter momentum. Key catalysts include ETHZilla's 1‑for‑10 reverse split on Oct. 20 and Zilliqa’s major Zilliqa 2.0 hard fork on Oct. 22, alongside Coinbase’s planned trading suspension Oct. 25 and Circle’s seminar on stablecoin settlement. Macro and policy events — notably the Federal Reserve’s Payments Innovation Conference and U.S. inflation prints — add potential volatility as traders look for signals on liquidity and monetary outlook. Together, these developments could drive short‑term price swings, affect liquidity and trading windows, and influence broader market sentiment toward risk assets.
