A complete economic calendar of events from October 5–11, 2026, that could affect the crypto market.
The week is clearly not a record-breaker in terms of macroeconomic data, but there are potential triggers for heightened volatility. The key events to watch are the U.S. Services PMI on Monday; U.S. trade data and ADP employment figures on Tuesday; the release of the FOMC minutes on Wednesday; U.S. jobless claims on Thursday; and, on Friday, consumer sentiment and inflation expectations from the University of Michigan.
China has a public holiday on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, so Asian market liquidity will be lower than usual on those days.
