Miners, Robinhood Earnings and Interest-Rate Decisions: Crypto Week Ahead

Following a disappointing October, the crypto market will be watching for signs whether November will prove more uplifting for bitcoin BTC$107,899.88 and other major cryptocurrencies.

Impetus may be provided by interest-rate decisions by the Bank of England, Central Bank of Brazil and Bank of Mexico. What’s missing from the line-up is the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, which is due on the first Friday of the month but unlikely to be published this week because of the U.S. government shutdown. Instead, investors will need to look at ADP employment data and ISM PMIs for a check on the world’s biggest economy.

Also coming up, earnings reports from a number of bitcoin mining companies and trading platform Robinhood Markets (HOOD).
