According to Stock Talk (@stocktalkweekly), the May 2025 Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data shows PCE year-over-year at 2.1%, slightly below the 2.2% estimate, and month-over-month at 0.1%, matching expectations. Core PCE year-over-year came in at 2.5%, in line with forecasts, while the monthly figure also met expectations at 0.1%. This softer-than-expected headline inflation is viewed by traders as potentially easing Federal Reserve pressure for further interest rate hikes, which could support bullish sentiment in both traditional and cryptocurrency markets. Markets often react positively to inflation data that signals a stable or dovish monetary policy outlook, with Bitcoin and altcoins typically gaining momentum when rate hike risks decline (source: Stock Talk @stocktalkweekly).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, this week features several high-impact US economic events including the CB Consumer Confidence data on Tuesday, Federal Reserve meeting minutes on Wednesday, US Q1 2025 GDP data on Thursday, and April PCE Inflation data on Friday (source: @KobeissiLetter, May 25, 2025). These releases are critical for crypto traders as they historically drive volatility in both traditional and digital asset markets. The PCE Inflation data especially influences expectations around Federal Reserve rate decisions, directly affecting Bitcoin and Ethereum price action. US markets will be closed on Monday for Memorial Day, causing a condensed trading week where reaction to data releases could be amplified. Crypto traders should monitor these events closely for potential short-term opportunities.

According to CrypNuevo on Twitter, the upcoming week presents key trading events for Bitcoin ($BTC), with major earnings reports from Meta, Amazon, and Apple, alongside critical PCE inflation and labor market data releases. CrypNuevo states he is de-risking his swing long position from $77,000 by taking profits in the current price zone, while maintaining spot holdings. These actions highlight a cautious approach in anticipation of increased market volatility due to macroeconomic and corporate events (source: @CrypNuevo, April 27, 2025).
