I want to share my thoughts on the market situation next week. Geopolitical tensions and uncertainty are driving everything right now—especially the Iran–U.S. situation. This instability has created a risk-off mindset across global markets.
But it’s not only geopolitics; U.S. economic data is also set to be a key driver this week. On Monday night, February’s Manufacturing PMI and ISM numbers will be released—definitely worth watching. Midweek, the ADP job numbers will come out, followed by the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book release on Thursday. But most importantly—on Friday, February’s final jobs report and the unemployment rate will be released. With this data, the market will determine what the next direction will be.
Looking at American stocks, the NASDAQ Composite still hasn’t been able to break new all-time highs for four months. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ are delivering their worst performance since last March. This makes it clear that investors are skeptical about seeing real profitability from AI technology. Wall Street is now trying to manage a market led by tech stocks, but volatility and uncertainty are the real game now.
In short, next week will show both data-driven and sentiment-driven moves. If you’re tracking the crypto market, these macro events will have a direct impact.
