I've been using the Investing economic calendar for a while to anticipate movements in crypto, and honestly, it makes a difference. It's not magic, but when you know what economic events are on the radar in the U.S., you can position yourself better before the market reacts.
The easiest way to start is to go directly to the Investing economic calendar and filter only for the United States. In the top right corner, you'll find the filter button—click it, and you're set; just select your country. This way, you avoid noise from other markets and focus on what really moves cryptocurrencies.
Now, not all events are equal. The calendar shows events with different weights: some have one star, others two, and the truly important ones have three. If you only want the ones that can shake the market, focus on the three-star events. These are the ones everyone is watching.
The most impactful ones are the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), Federal Reserve announcements, and GDP reports. When these data are released, you see immediate volatility in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the rest. The key is to compare the forecasted figure, the previous one, and the actual release. If there's a big surprise, the market reacts strongly.
I use the Investing economic calendar as a basic tool to adjust my positions before these reports. It’s not complicated once you understand it. It’s simply about staying one step ahead of the rest of the market.
