Good Friday 2025: Stock Market Closes While Crypto Market Remains Active

The US stock and bond market will close on Good Friday and will reopen on Monday. Additionally, the EU and most global markets remain closed, whereas the Japanese and Chinese markets remain open. More importantly, the trading volume would be low during this time, but with high volatility.

Interestingly, the day before this festival remains modest. The S&P 500 has had an average gain of +0.38% since 1980. The same is true for Dow Jones (+0.3%) and Nasdaq (+0.46%). However, Monday remains historically negative.

So, there’s not much to expect from the stock market today, but crypto will remain open, which is also its unique selling point, as it’s accessible 24/7 all year round. The cryptocurrencies have a mixed performance today, where some are down while others are attempting recovery.

The biggest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, is trading at $84.6k, Ethereum trades at $1.578, XRP at $2.06, with the rest of the top altcoins bringing the total market cap to $2.67T and trading volume to $62.01B per CoinMarketCap.

What to Expect from the Crypto Market Today?

Since the crypto market has been in complete turmoil for the past few weeks, there’s no significant stimulus for the recovery. Although there is anticipation around the Fed implementing rate cuts since the EU introduced a 2.25% cut, there’s no supporting evidence.

EU Interest rate cut

Recently, Donald Trump has asked for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s termination over the failure of the rate cuts’ implementation. Moreover, experts anticipate volatility throughout the week due to tariff tension, geopolitical risks, and other factors.

The upcoming week, many economic reports will be released, such as Consumer Inflation, Retail sales data, Industrial production, and Jobless claims. With that, experts anticipate a bearish trajectory for the crypto and stock markets even on Good Friday.
