Liquidity Event Calendar

Rolling forward-look at the IPOs, listings, earnings prints, ETF catalysts and macro dates that reset the tape. Each event ships with what to watch and links back to the Tape Brief that framed the trade.

Filter key:IPOListingEarningsETFMacroCrypto
  1. CryptoBTC-USD· Expected

    BTC / $63,000 breakout window

    Bitcoin coiled under $63K into the thin US holiday tape. A daily close above $63K on real volume is the confirmation trigger for the Fed-pivot rotation trade — flips the crypto scorecard from neutral to bullish and lights MSTR, COIN, HOOD.

    What to watch

    • Daily close above $63,000 on above-average volume
    • MSTR and COIN leading BTC intraday on multiple sessions
    • 10-year yield rolling with the tape
  2. Macro· Confirmed

    US Non-Farm Payrolls — pivot trade's biggest risk

    First payrolls print after the Fed-speaker language shift. A hot number with an upside revision to the prior print puts 'higher for longer' straight back into the dot plot and kills the rate-sensitive book.

    What to watch

    • Headline vs consensus (and prior-month revisions)
    • Average hourly earnings — wage growth is the sticky component
    • Unemployment rate — a 0.1 tick moves the Sahm rule
  3. EarningsMETA· Expected

    META Q2 2026 earnings — long leg of the mega-cap pair

    First real read on ad re-acceleration and Reality Labs hardware line ramping. Long leg of the GOOGL/META vs NVDA/TSLA rotation trade.

    What to watch

    • Ad pricing and impressions growth (esp. Reels)
    • Reality Labs revenue — hardware line inflection
    • Capex guide vs sell-side model
  4. EarningsGOOGL· Expected

    GOOGL Q2 2026 earnings — cheap mega-cap re-rating catalyst

    Trading ~22x forward with DOJ overhang already priced. Search-plus-Cloud comp and Gemini monetization update are the drivers for the long leg.

    What to watch

    • Search revenue growth (AI Overviews cannibalization risk)
    • Google Cloud operating margin
    • Any updated buyback authorization
  5. EarningsMSFT· Expected

    MSFT FY26 Q4 — Copilot monetization pivot print

    The mega-cap swing vote. Real Copilot ARR disclosure re-rates MSFT into the long book. Miss keeps it as dead money for two quarters.

    What to watch

    • Copilot seats and per-seat ARPU (any explicit disclosure)
    • Azure AI revenue mix
    • Capex guide — the tell for nuclear/SMR demand
  6. EarningsNVDA· Expected

    NVDA Q2 FY27 earnings — short leg of the mega-cap pair

    Priced for perfection. Any hyperscaler capex nuance, Blackwell yield print, or China revenue commentary is a two-way risk into a crowded book.

    What to watch

    • Data Center revenue guide vs whisper
    • Gross margin trajectory (Blackwell mix)
    • China / H20 revenue callout
  7. ListingASTS· Expected

    ASTS first paid direct-to-cell commercial service

    Verizon + AT&T + Vodafone contracts move from pre-revenue to first paid service window. Two-step re-rating with FCC spectrum approval as the second gate.

    What to watch

    • Initial ARPU disclosure from a carrier partner
    • Cadence of next-gen satellite launches
  8. ETF· Expected

    Spot ETH staking ETF approval window

    SEC decision window on staking-enabled ETH ETFs. Approval lights up the yield-bearing crypto ETF category and re-rates the entire crypto-adjacent equity book.

    What to watch

    • SEC final-action date on lead filer
    • Staking-yield disclosure mechanics in the S-1
    • COIN, HOOD, MSTR reaction on approval day
  9. ETF· Expected

    Bitcoin ETF options — position-limit expansion

    OCC / exchange move to raise position limits on IBIT, FBTC and peers. Institutional derivative capacity is the second-order flow into MSTR, COIN, HOOD.

    What to watch

    • OCC memo confirming higher limits
    • IBIT open interest jump on the flip
    • Basis trade spreads narrowing
  10. Macro· Rumored

    Trump / Xi summit — China tech optional trade fuse

    Any real tariff de-escalation is the single-week 30% move catalyst for BABA, PDD, JD, BIDU at 8–10x earnings with the whole street underweight.

    What to watch

    • Summit scheduling / joint communique language
    • US-listed China ADR flow (KWEB, MCHI)
    • Buyback pace on BABA and JD
  11. IPO· Rumored

    • PayPal and Block reaction into the print
    • Take-rate disclosure vs street model
  13. IPO· Rumored

    Shein and Klarna — refiling window

    Two refilings that reset the consumer-discretionary and BNPL comp on the same tape. Direct read-through to AFRM, PYPL, and the fast-fashion listed names.

    What to watch

    • Filing venue (US vs London)
    • Price-range vs last private mark
    • AFRM reaction on Klarna range
  14. IPO· Rumored

    SpaceX IPO — biggest tech IPO in history

    $400B+ valuation floated. Prints the whole listed space complex up on the comp trade — ASTS, RKLB, PL, LUNR all catch the passive wash on the day of pricing.

    What to watch

    • Filing structure (Starlink spin vs full-cap)
    • Roadshow revenue disclosure by Starlink segment
    • Space ETF (ARKX, UFO) flow on the print
