What to watch for

US CPI and Fed communication in the next two weeks will be critical for crypto direction, as inflation expectations and rate outlook are pointing in opposite directions. A softer inflation print would support the bullish easing-recovery thesis already present in BTC coverage.
Iran Strait of Hormuz developments are gaining traction in equity and crypto coverage but are not yet dominant; an escalation pushing oil prices higher could activate inflation and Fed headwinds already articulated in bearish BTC coverage and shift sentiment toward risk-off.
Google's AI copyright litigation story deteriorated abruptly from negligible to dominant coverage in one period; watch whether this spreads to other AI-training-dependent companies like NVDA and platforms using large-scale web data, transforming it from company-specific to sector-wide AI liability.
Solana's ETF staking integration is gaining momentum as the market prices a favorable SEC outcome; regulatory clarity or denial on staking within ETF structures would have outsized impact on SOL sentiment given how recent and concentrated this momentum is.
