3 Things That Could Impact Crypto Markets in Week Ahead
Crypto markets tanked last week but have made a minor recovery over the weekend. The week ahead could boost this rebound if rate cut odds increase again. Last week’s US jobs report showed stronger-than-expected growth, but December rate cut odds have fallen below 70%, down from 90% one month ago.
US AI and tech stocks tanked in tandem with crypto markets. Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been shut down and “no longer exists,” according to officials.
“As the US government reopens, tons of backlogged economic data is being rolled out,” said the Kobeissi Letter.
Economic Events Nov. 24 to 28
November wraps up with a holiday-shortened week due to Thanksgiving on Thursday and Black Friday. This week, the US government will continue to work through a data backlog following the resolution of the shutdown earlier this month.

Crypto Market Outlook
Crypto markets have “become such a proxy for speculation,” and last week’s sell-off can’t be viewed in isolation, wrote Interactive Brokers’ chief strategist Steve Sosnick.
Total market capitalization had reclaimed the key $3 trillion level during early trading in Asia on Monday morning. However, markets remain down 32% from their October peak.
Bitcoin briefly tapped $88,000, showing a steady weekend recovery from its dump to $82,000 on Friday, but the asset remains down 30% from its all-time high. Most of those losses have come over the past fortnight.
Ethereum’s recovery has been weaker, with the asset failing to make any progress above $2,850, while the altcoins remain mostly battered.
