October's Economic Calendar Sets Stage for Bitcoin Price Action
Bitcoin's price movements in October will likely be influenced by key economic indicators and monetary policy decisions. The month begins with several important releases, including the September Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on October 14 at 8:30 a.m. ET (12:30 p.m. UTC), followed by the Producer Price Index report on October 15. Both reports are critical in understanding inflation levels and will likely impact market sentiment.
The Federal Open Market Committee is scheduled to meet from October 27-28, with its rate decision due on October 28. This meeting will also provide insights into the Fed's monetary policy stance and any potential changes to interest rates. The September personal income and outlays report, as well as the advance estimate of third-quarter gross domestic product, are both scheduled for release on October 29.
The real yield of the 10-year Treasury bond has been rising, reaching 2.90% on September 28, up from 2.44% at the end of August. This increase in real yields may impact Bitcoin's price, as it could affect investor sentiment and lead to a decrease in demand for alternative assets like cryptocurrencies.
