Quiet week on the calendar. Those are the ones that get people.
The real thing to watch is Wednesday: FOMC minutes, 2pm ET. Not a rate decision, just the notes from July, but it's the first proper look at how Warsh's Fed actually argues about the next cut. If they read more hawkish than expected, this dead range doesn't stay dead.
Retail earnings run all week too: Home Depot, Target, then Walmart Thursday. Sounds unrelated to crypto, isn't. They're the cleanest read on whether people are still spending, and that mood spills into everything with risk on it. Us included.
Friday's Jackson Hole opens, but the speech that moves things (Warsh's first as chair) is next week. Friday is everyone front-running a guess.
Us: BTC stuck in the low 60s, ETH can't get back over 1,900. Coiled, waiting.
Patience week. Mark your levels before Wednesday and let the minutes do the work.
