Bitcoin Braces for a Volatile Week as Key U.S. Economic Data Looms

Key U.S. Economic Event this Week 

Sept 28: Donald Trump Oval Speech

This week starts with Trump’s planned Oval Office address at 2 p.m. ET today. The White House has not shared the full details, but the speech is expected to focus on keeping the U.S. ahead in AI.

Trump could announce plans to expand data centers and make it easier to build the power and infrastructure needed for AI.

The speech may also cover new chip tariffs and a possible path for companies like Anthropic to remove their “supply chain risk” label.

Sept 28: JOLTS Job Openings data

Another key event this week is the August JOLTS job openings report, due on September 29. The latest JOLTS report showed 7.27 million open jobs in July 2026, up from 7.18 million in June. 

Meanwhile, a weaker August reading could point to a cooling job market, which may push Treasury yields and the dollar lower.
