After early volatility on Monday, markets are watching closely to see whether the rest of the week will bring even more turbulence.
Following a relatively calm weekend with minimal price movement, Bitcoin and altcoins could be set for increased volatility as the new business week unfolds, driven by several major developments in the United States.
Among these, the most closely watched events are expected to occur on Monday and Friday.
Powell Speech and Jobs Data in Focus
According to The Kobeissi Letter, there are several important events scheduled this week, although not all are expected to significantly impact crypto markets. The week already began with the reopening of futures markets in the United States along with traditional markets in Asia and Europe. Bitcoin reacted sharply, experiencing strong price swings as global markets responded to recent statements from Donald Trump regarding tensions with Iran.
Another key development on Monday is the expected speech by Jerome Powell, head of the Federal Reserve. Following the second FOMC meeting of 2026, Powell signaled a hawkish stance on interest rates, which previously contributed to a correction in Bitcoin’s price.
On Tuesday, the release of March Consumer Confidence data alongside February JOLTS job openings figures could introduce moderate volatility into the crypto market.
The most significant economic event of the week is likely the March jobs report scheduled for Friday, which has historically triggered notable price movements in cryptocurrencies.
Geopolitical Tensions Add to Market Uncertainty
Beyond economic indicators, geopolitical developments related to tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran have played a major role in Bitcoin’s recent price behavior. Any escalation or shift in this situation is expected to continue influencing market volatility.
Recent reports indicate that the United States may be preparing for a potential operation in Iran aimed at taking control of the strategic oil hub at Kharg Island and securing a large quantity of uranium.
At the same time, The Wall Street Journal has pushed back against earlier claims that the United States and Iran had entered direct negotiations to end the conflict. This suggests that continued military activity, rising casualties, and broader global uncertainty could further intensify volatility across financial markets, including cryptocurrencies.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.net https://t.me/coinsignalpublic
