Crypto is extremely sensitive to macro conditions right now, with Bitcoin sitting in oversold territory, ETF expectations cooling, liquidity thinning, and institutional outflows accelerating. This week’s heavy macro calendar — including U.S. PCE, GDP revisions, multiple Fed speakers, and a Dollar Index hovering at multi-month highs — means sentiment can flip quickly in either direction. Traders should expect sharp volatility spikes around data release windows, especially PCE and Fed commentary, as the market reacts to every macro signal in real time.
BTC fell to the low-$80Ks, triggering >US$200M in weekend liquidations and a deeply oversold RSI reading. This sparked a reflex bounce early this week.
What this might mean:
SGX officially launched Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures for accredited and institutional investors — a major regional milestone. This gives Asia-based funds and corporate desks a regulated venue for leverage, hedging, and derivative exposure.
Why it matters:
What to watch: Initial liquidity, open interest, and cross-exchange arbitrage flows.
BlackRock’s flagship bitcoin ETF reported its largest-ever single-day outflow. This is a new datapoint showing institutional risk-off behaviour — not just retail capitulation.
Why it matters:
The market is still watching for late-Nov / early-Dec approvals for new spot crypto ETFs. But enthusiasm has cooled due to BTC weakness and heavy ETF outflows.
Why it matters:
Even as BTC struggles, several infrastructure tokens are showing strong momentum:
AI tokens (PAYAI, some meme/AI hybrids) also saw short-lived bursts of strength.
Why it matters:
This is a heavy macro week, and several upcoming data points could directly influence crypto volatility — especially with Bitcoin sitting in the mid-$80K range and liquidity thinning into December.
Firstly, Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data arrives this week and is closely watched because it influences the Fed’s next rate decision far more than CPI.
Why it matters:
Crypto is currently hypersensitive to macro due to weak liquidity. Even small PCE surprises can trigger large swings.
Next, second or third estimates of quarterly US GDP can shift market expectations for economic strength or weakness.
Why it matters: BTC’s recent drop into the $80Ks coincided with stronger-than-expected U.S. macro data. Another surprise could extend that trend.

The former "crypto assets" and "traditional securities" will differ only in label, with no remaining essential distinction.

At the intersection of decentralized finance and social media data, an experiment regarding the "value of information" is facing its most severe survival challenge since its inception. On January 15, 2026, social media giant X (formerly Twitter) suddenly revised its platform rules, announcing the official revocation of API access for "InfoFi" applications, citing that such apps have generated large-scale spam to obtain token incentives. This decision instantly triggered a chain reaction in the Web3 space: as the leader in this sector, the Kaito platform token plummeted 19% within 24 hours, with its market capitalization shrinking to $160 million.
