This week's important event schedule: The Federal Reserve announces the minutes of the March monetary policy meeting
Media reports, this week's important event schedule (April 8 to April 14). On the macro side: multiple U.S. economic data and interest rate decisions from major central banks around the world. This month, most major central banks are likely to follow the Federal Reserve in keeping interest rates unchanged, while strong U.S. economic data has quashed expectations of a rate cut, meaning high-interest markets will last longer and risk assets represented by U.S. stocks have seen significant volatility. In terms of encryption: $70,000 is still a fiercely contested point, but coins other than BTC have already fallen into a technical bear market. Bitcoin rebounded significantly over the past week with main term IV bouncing back to its annual high after a slight decline; Dvol remains high. VRP rose sharply this week with significant downward pressure on main term option IV led by medium-short term option IVs. Bitfinex's green leaf lending market has revived with weighted interest rates continuing to rise; currently 120-day rates are above 20%, so those with idle funds can start increasing their loans in green leaves now.
This week's key events:
- April 8th Monday - London Stock Exchange announces acceptance of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETN listing applications.
- April 10th Wednesday - US March CPI data; New Zealand Central Bank Interest Rate Decision; Canadian Central Bank Interest Rate Decision; Thailand finalizes details of digital wallet plan.
- April 11th Thursday - US March PPI data; Initial jobless claims in the United States; Eurozone European Central Bank Main Refinancing Rate; The Fed releases minutes from its March monetary policy meeting.
