What is an economic calendar?
An economic calendar organizes scheduled data releases and central-bank events. Traders use it to identify periods when spreads, volatility or price gaps may change.
Why CPI matters for Bitcoin
US inflation surprises can change expectations for interest rates and liquidity. Bitcoin and other risk assets may react quickly, although direction and magnitude are never guaranteed.
Why FOMC meetings create volatility
The rate decision, statement and press conference can each move expectations. A position that appears comfortable before the event can consume drawdown rapidly when volatility expands.
How events affect risk limits
Calendar awareness does not predict price. It helps a trader decide whether position size and remaining drawdown still leave enough room for the volatility that may follow.
