This week could become one of the "busiest" 7 days in the entire crypto industry in 2026. Not because Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies suddenly exploded in price, but because a bunch of major events are almost all packed into the same time window, creating a kind of energy superposition.
Pulling out the timeline makes it clear.
Starting on Monday, the Federal Reserve will inject short-term liquidity into the market through Treasury bill operations, with a scale of about $15 to $20 billion. This injection can serve as a buffer for the overall liquidity situation, giving the market a chance to catch its breath. But the real "intense period" of events begins midweek.
The Federal Reserve's FOMC economic statement will be released first — officially updating on economic growth, inflation trends, and future interest rate directions. Such statements are often key points for large capital to reassess risk assets. Immediately afterward, the U.S. Supreme Court will deliver a ruling on Trump's tariffs case, which involves the direction of international trade patterns and has tangible tugging effects on global capital flows and risk appetite.
At the same time, Trump’s speech at Davos will also be released. Even macro policy statements are often interpreted in the crypto space as "regulatory expectations" and "political direction" signals. Plus, the Fed will update its balance sheet data to assess whether liquidity can still support the market — which directly supports risk assets like digital assets.
Finally, the Bank of Japan’s interest rate decision will be the weekend’s climax. If Japan adjusts its interest rates and monetary policy again, global funding costs and cross-border arbitrage logic will also shift.
Stacking these five events together, it’s easy to understand why the market might be in a "turbulent" state. The issue isn’t just how exciting each individual event is, but how these events create a wave of combined shocks involving liquidity, interest rates, trade policies, political directions, and central bank rhythms worldwide. This dense rhythm causes repeated clashes between market expectations and reality in the crypto space, resulting in increased volatility, fluctuating trading volumes, and rapid shifts in market sentiment between optimism and caution.
In simple terms, this week isn’t about whether a certain coin or exchange can "single-handedly pump," but about how various expectations are all fulfilled within this concentrated time period. If you suddenly see the order book become active, don’t be surprised — that’s the energy release triggered by a lineup of major events.
