There are two important economic data releases to watch for tonight: US November Retail Sales will be released at 21:30, with market expectations of a month-on-month improvement; followed by the 23:30 EIA Crude Oil Inventory Report, which is generally expected to show continued inventory pressure. Once macroeconomic data exceeds or falls short of expectations, it often moves the market—assets with high liquidity like $BTC and $ETH are more likely to be affected. The probability of increased short-term volatility remains quite high, so traders should be cautious with position sizing or wait for the dust to settle before entering the market.
