Coin I'm talking about today: $BTC 🪙
The August US CPI report landed today (September 11) at 8:30 AM ET, and it delivered a mixed but tense picture just days before the Fed's big decision.
📈 The numbers:
- Headline CPI: 3.4% YoY, 0.4% MoM — right in line with forecasts
- Core CPI: 2.4% YoY (its lowest annual pace in over 5 years) but 0.3% MoM, hotter than the 0.2% economists expected
BTC's reaction was a rollercoaster: it dipped roughly $1,000 within minutes of the release, briefly slipping toward the $76K–$77K zone, before quickly recovering back above $77K–$79K as markets digested the mixed signals.
⚡ Why it matters: the hotter monthly core reading strengthened the case for a Fed rate hike at next week's FOMC meeting (September 15–16). Rate-hike odds jumped toward ~70% following the report, with rising Treasury yields (near 4.95%) and oil above $100/barrel adding extra pressure on risk assets like crypto.
🎯 Levels to watch: $76,000 support, with $80,000 as the key resistance if sentiment turns bullish again.
All eyes now turn to the Fed's rate decision next week — that's likely to be the bigger market mover from here.
