Why it matters

Bitcoin has gone quieter after a week of large price swings, which may ease short-term trading pressure.
Steadier tech futures suggest the AI-related sell-off is losing momentum, which can affect risk appetite across markets.
Brent oil at its highest since early May may add to inflation concerns that influence central bank decisions.

What to watch next

Watch the Federal Reserve's decision next week, since its rate guidance could drive bitcoin and broader market moves.
