Following a quiet weekend with little to no price movement, bitcoin and the altcoins could be primed for more fluctuations as the business week unfolds due to several big events in the US. Perhaps the two events likely to attract the most attention will take place on Monday and Friday.
Powell’s remarks and the release of key jobs data are set to shape sentiment this week, with traders watching for signals on the path of US monetary policy. After the second FOMC meeting of 2026, Powell expressed a hawkish stance on rates, a development that previously contributed to BTC moves. Bitcoin’s price fluctuations have reflected volatility in other markets reacting to Trump’s statements on the Iran conflict.
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have been a major driver of bitcoin volatility over the past month, and that dynamic could persist into the week. Recent reports indicate the US is preparing to send troops to Iran to control the Kharg Island region and to address uranium reserves, adding to market uncertainty. Additionally, the WSJ refuted earlier reports that the US and Iran were negotiating to end the war, suggesting ongoing volatility for crypto markets.
