Wall Street enters the week of November 9 to 13, 2026, with crypto traders focused on fresh inflation data, Federal Reserve commentary and the fallout from a sharp technology-led selloff. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the October Consumer Price Index on Tuesday, November 10, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Economists expect annual inflation to rise to about 3.9%, compared with 3.7% in September. Producer prices follow on Friday, while weekly jobless claims and existing-home sales are due Thursday.
Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have already sold off in recent days, and traders are watching whether prices stabilize or extend losses. Spot Bitcoin ETF flows are also in focus as market participants look for signs that institutional buyers are returning. Ethereum and other large cryptocurrencies tend to trade alongside the same macro data, making Tuesday's CPI release a key event for digital assets.
The macro backdrop has been pressured by a major equity market correction. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 5.5% on Thursday, its steepest one-day decline in 19 months, entering correction territory and erasing roughly $2.5 trillion in market value. The S&P 500 fell 4.4%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 1,800 points. Nvidia declined about 9% and AMD plunged 17.3% as investors reassessed the pace and returns of the artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout following the U.S. midterm elections.
The week also brings key tech earnings that could shape risk appetite. CoreWeave reports after Tuesday's close, with analysts expecting a loss of about $1.45 per share. Cisco Systems and Applied Materials report Thursday, with analysts looking for earnings of about $1.15 and $4.06 per share, respectively. Nvidia reports on November 17. Several Federal Reserve officials are scheduled to speak this week, offering potential clues before the December interest rate decision.
