Watch Out: Lots of Economic Developments and Altcoin Events This Week—Here’s the Day-by-Day, Hour-by-Hour Schedule

Following the volatility experienced in the cryptocurrency market last week, investors are now focused on the critical economic data to be released this week and developments in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Growth data from China, the Turkish Central Bank’s interest rate decision, and the PMI data to be released in the US all have the potential to increase market volatility.

However, the conclusion of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) consultation process on cryptocurrency regulations, the critical decision regarding the Zcash (ZEC) network update, and new cryptocurrency futures products were also among the week’s notable developments.
