Reading the macro calendar

An economic calendar lists upcoming data releases and events: inflation, jobs, growth, central bank meetings. Each line usually shows a time, a forecast, the previous value and, once published, the actual value.

Not every release matters equally. Jobs reports, CPI and central bank decisions tend to move markets most. Qubo marks the expected impact and, for some events, how BTC and ETH moved in the hour after past releases.

Times matter. Big US releases often come out at 8:30 New York time, during or just before market hours. Volatility can rise sharply in the minutes around them, and liquidity can thin out.

Reading the calendar ahead of the week helps explain later moves. A sharp move at 14:30 Paris time on a CPI day probably has a known cause.
