Today is a bit different—The Federal Reserve will release a heavyweight economic report at 8:30 AM Eastern Time. This is the last major report of the 2025 closing phase, and it contains a lot of valuable information: S&P 500 index trends, Nasdaq holdings, unemployment benefit application data, and the MBA index.

Once these data are released, market volatility is unlikely to be mild. Both traditional finance and the crypto markets have always been highly sensitive to Federal Reserve data. It is expected that overall market volatility will significantly increase, and traders should be prepared—these moments are often opportunities, but they can also pose risks.
