Four days, three catalysts — and consensus is already priced in.
Tuesday: Senate cloture vote on the Clarity Act. If it advances, crypto regulation finally gets structure. If it stalls, we stay in limbo.
Wednesday: Fed rate decision. Market expects a hold, but the statement and Powell's tone matter more than the headline. Any shift in forward guidance moves risk assets.
Friday: BOJ policy call. If they tweak YCC or signal rate moves, yen carry trades unwind fast — and that hits everything leveraged, including crypto.
The setup matters because consensus is baked in. The real move comes from what the market didn't expect — a surprise hawkish tilt, an unexpected policy shift, or regulatory clarity that changes the game.
Watch for divergence. If all three land neutral, we chop. If one breaks from consensus, volatility spikes. Don't sleep on this week.
