The crypto market is preparing for a bumpy ride this week. Analysts at JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs now anticipate an interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve, a move that typically creates caution across risky assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Traders are watching the charts closely as price swings appear likely. Beyond the Fed meeting, the industry is keeping a close eye on the CLARITY Act vote and incoming news from the Bank of Japan. These events often trigger sudden movements for major assets including XRP.

Expect choppy price action until the situation settles. When central banks shift policy, investors often pull back from volatile assets until there is more certainty. Watch for increased trading volume as the market reacts to these macro announcements throughout the week.
