Greetings, traders! ๐
A packed week ahead - macro data, FOMC minutes, and massive token unlocks worth over $ 200M. Here's what's moving markets. All times in UTC for our global community.
๐ MONDAY, July 6 - Kicking Off with Services Data
๐บ๐ธ 12:45 UTC - US S&P Global Services & Composite PMI
๐บ๐ธ 13:00 UTC - US ISM Services PMI
These are the key reads this week. Soft prints = less pressure on the Fed to hike. Firm data = caution on rate cuts.
๐ช๐บ 16:00 UTC - ECB President Lagarde speech
Her tone on inflation will set the tone for European markets.
๐ Hyperliquid (HYPE) unlock - ~452K tokens (~$30.9M). 0.2% of supply - relatively small, but HYPE trades on its own DEX.

๐บ๐ธ 12:30 UTC - US Trade Balance
Watch for import/export trends that could affect GDP revisions.
๐BounceBit (BB) unlock - ~29.93M tokens (~$59.6M)

๐บ๐ธ 14:30 UTC โ US Crude Oil Inventories
Oil moves affect inflation expectations and risk sentiment.
๐บ๐ธ 19:00 UTC - FOMC Minutes - FIRST under Chair Kevin Warsh.
This is the big one. Markets will parse every word for clues on rate hikes. Expect volatility around this release. The core message is expected to be hawkish.
๐ THURSDAY, July 9
๐จ๐ณ 01:30 UTC - China CPI. Deflation concerns? Inflation spike? Either way, it moves Asia risk appetite.
๐บ๐ธ 12:30 UTC - Initial Jobless Claims (Weekly)

Housing data = consumer health proxy.

๐ Linea unlock - ~1.08B tokens (~$2.7M)
๐ SUNDAY, July 12 - Heavy Unlock Day ๐
๐ Pump fun (PUMP) unlock - ~82.5B tokens (~$125M)
This is massive โ 29.23% of released supply. The protocol has been running revenue-funded buybacks ($ 400M+), but a one-day slug of supply is a real test.
๐ Aptos unlock - ~11.31M APT tokens (~$6.9M)
โก๏ธ What XBTS DEX Is Watching This Week
1๏ธโฃ FOMC Minutes (Wednesday) - This is the main event. First minutes under Chair Warsh. The market is pricing in ~31 bp of Fed tightening this year. Any hawkish signals could pressure risk assets, including crypto.
2๏ธโฃ Services PMI & ISM (Monday) - These will tell us if last week's weak jobs data is spreading into broader activity or just a one-off.
3๏ธโฃ Token Unlocks (PUMP especially) - Over $200M in new supply hits the market this week. The PUMP unlock is a stress test for Solana meme liquidity.
Stay sharp. Trade smart.
