The final week of October brings a pivotal mix of macro and industry-specific catalysts that could shape sentiment across digital asset markets.

Bitcoin (BTC) is holding near $115,000, while Ethereum (ETH) trades around $4,180, both consolidating within familiar ranges. Traders are watching closely to see whether either asset can decisively break key technical levels or if the market’s sideways drift will persist through the week.

Two major developments headline the calendar:

• Federal Reserve Rate Decision (Oct. 29): The Fed’s policy announcement is expected to be the biggest potential market mover, as investors look for clues on rate cuts heading into year-end.
• Core Scientific (CORZ) Virtual Meeting (Oct. 30): The Bitcoin miner will hold a crucial session to discuss and potentially vote on its proposed merger with AI infrastructure company CoreWeave (CRWV) — a deal that could reshape the intersection of crypto mining and cloud computing.

With macro and corporate narratives converging, the coming days could determine whether crypto markets enter November with renewed momentum or remain trapped in their recent holding pattern.
