This week could be one of the most crucial moments in recent U.S. economic history. From the end of the record 40-day government shutdown to a possible Federal Reserve rate cut, major events are set to unfold.

With the crypto market already up by 5% today, these reports could strongly influence where Bitcoin and other digital assets move next.

US Economic Events This Week

Here’s a look at the key U.S. economic events this week that could heavily impact the crypto market.

After 40 long days, the U.S. government shutdown, the longest in the nation’s history, is finally coming to an end. The shutdown, which began on October 1, 2025, caused major disruptions across the country, leaving more than 1.6 million federal workers without pay and freezing several government services.

Over the weekend, the Senate voted 60–40 to advance a bipartisan deal that will reopen the government through January 2026. 

Markets are now turning their focus to the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, where the Fed is widely expected to announce another 25-basis-point rate cut on 11 November.

Last month, the U.S. Federal Reserve implemented a much-anticipated 25 basis point interest rate cut during its October meeting, lowering the federal funds target range to 3.75%–4.00%.

In a massive follow-up to its monetary easing, the Federal Reserve is also set to inject $1.5 trillion into the financial system on 12 November. This liquidity boost aims to strengthen bank balance sheets, encourage lending, and keep markets stable.

Historically, such liquidity injections, like those in 2008 and 2020, have triggered extended bull markets in equities and digital assets.

Thursday: S&P 500 Earnings Season Kickoff

The first batch of major S&P 500 companies will report earnings on Thursday. Early earnings reports will set the tone for earnings season and provide critical signals about corporate health amid economic uncertainty.

Even slight Optimism in forward guidance could fuel renewed buying across global markets, potentially triggering a strong bullish rally in the crypto market.

Friday: U.S. Crypto Legalization Bill Expected

To cap off the week, a landmark U.S. crypto legalization bill is expected to be signed into law on Friday. The bill will establish clear regulatory guidelines for cryptocurrencies, exchanges, and institutional adoption, a long-awaited development that could finally bring digital assets into the U.S. financial mainstream.

How This Will Impact the Crypto Market

Following the government reopening and Fed easing measures, November is forecasted to be a bullish month for crypto assets. Already, Bitcoin has surged to $107,000, with major altcoins jumping 6–10% in the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, some analysts believe November could mark the start of a powerful bull phase for both traditional and crypto markets.
