📅 WEEKLY MACRO & RISK CALENDAR | OCT 19–23, 2026 🎯 Main theme The Fed’s blackout runs Oct. 17–29, with no speeches or major U.S. data before the Oct. 28 FOMC decision. Focus shifts to Thursday’s CBRT decision, inflation in Canada, the UK and Japan, Friday’s flash PMIs, and Big Tech earnings. 🗓 Daily calendar (Türkiye time) Mon, Oct. 19 China Q3 GDP/September activity | 05:00 Canada CPI | 15:30 META, TSLA and NFLX report during the week. Tue, Oct. 20 China LPR decision | 04:00 Germany PPI / 🇬🇧 UK labor data | 09:00 ZEW survey | 12:00 Housing starts/building permits | 15:30 Wed, Oct. 21 Japan trade balance | 02:50 UK CPI | 09:00 No major data Thu, Oct. 22 Bank of Korea rate decision | 04:00 SNB September minutes CBRT rate decision | 14:00 Jobless claims | 15:30; KC Fed survey | 18:00 Fri, Oct. 23 Japan CPI | 02:30 UK retail sales | 09:00 Eurozone/UK flash PMIs | ~11:00 Bank of Russia rate decision S&P Global flash PMIs | 16:45; Michigan sentiment | 17:00 Moody’s reviews France’s rating ⚠️ Crypto impact & key risks During the Fed blackout, markets lack fresh rate guidance and rely on data and last week’s CPI/PPI. Tech stocks and Oct. 28 FOMC expectations may drive crypto volatility. UK CPI Wednesday and Japan CPI Friday are key inflation signals; Canada CPI could set Monday’s tone. Hot inflation may lift the dollar and yields, pressuring risk assets. A Japanese surprise could trigger yen-related unwinds. Thursday’s 14:00 CBRT decision is key for Türkiye. The bank held rates at 37% on Sept. 10, pledging tight policy until price stability. Its statement may affect local crypto volumes and TRY pairs. Friday’s PMIs and Michigan sentiment could fuel stagflation fears. Moody’s France review may move European bonds. Thin weekend liquidity may amplify Friday’s moves. Takeaway: inflation early week, CBRT Thursday, PMIs and France’s rating review Friday; Fed silence until Oct. 28. $BTC $XRP

Fed Hike Odds Fall to 15.5%: Where Is Money Going as Markets Fall? Bonds, stocks, Bitcoin and gold are selling off together. Where is money going, and what will the Fed’s Oct. 28 decision change? ━━ Why are markets falling? Nasdaq fell over 2% Friday; the S&P 500 and Nasdaq had their worst weeks since June. CoreWeave’s 50B $ debt raised concerns about debt-funded AI spending. The 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest since 2002, near 5.1%; the 30-year topped 5.4%. Bitcoin trades near 80,000–82,000 $. Gold fell from above 4,600 $ to 4,070 $, trying to hold 4,170–4,200 $. ━━ Fed outlook September CPI rose 3.7% y/y, lifting October hike odds to 40–50%. After Kevin Warsh stressed data dependence, odds for an Oct. 27–28 hike fell to 15–16%. December hike pricing remains near 90%: markets expect a later hike, not an end to tightening. ━━ Where is money going? 1. Short-term Treasuries and money-market funds offer attractive yields with less duration risk. 2. High U.S. rates support the dollar, pressuring gold and Bitcoin. 3. Energy benefits from oil near 105 $; the S&P 500 energy sector rose over 2.5% Friday. 4. Funds rotate from AI and chips into defensive sectors and banks. 5. Leverage unwinds pull money from markets. Margin calls force sales—even of gold—to cover losses; liquid assets like $BTC can be sold first. ━━ Fed scenarios A hike would lift the dollar and yields, pressuring stocks, gold and Bitcoin. A hawkish hold could keep risk appetite weak. A dovish tone could lower December hike odds and support gold and Bitcoin. ━━ Beyond the Fed Long-term yields reflect AI borrowing and U.S. federal debt above 40T $. Even if the Fed holds, long rates may stay high. Relief requires cooler inflation and lower energy prices. Bottom line: Money favors short-term bills, the dollar, energy and defensive shares, while long bonds, high-valuation tech, gold and Bitcoin remain pressured. The Fed’s December signal may matter more than Oct. 28. Not investment advice. $XRP

The Bigger Risk for U.S. Stocks: AI Debt Renewed U.S. inflation is pressuring stocks, while debt-funded AI investment adds risk. The concern is whether massive spending is sustainable. September CPI reached 3.7% annually, boosting expectations that the Fed may keep rates high or consider another hike. Rising Treasury yields pressure tech firms reliant on external financing. ## The AI Race Gets Costlier Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Oracle are raising funds through bond sales to finance data centers, chips and energy infrastructure. Specialized AI infrastructure providers often rely more on debt than cash-rich tech giants. ## CoreWeave Bonds Flash Warning CoreWeave shares plunged amid borrowing-cost concerns. Yields on its 2031 and 2032 bonds approached 15%, signaling worsening credit sentiment. Its model requires heavy upfront spending on GPUs and data centers, with returns tied to future revenue. Demand may not suffice if financing and infrastructure costs consume revenue growth and reduce shareholder returns. ## Inflation and Sector Risks Higher inflation can lift yields and borrowing costs, while high rates pressure growth-stock valuations. Declines in Oracle, Nebius and Dell suggest investors are scrutinizing how AI growth is financed, not just demand. Highly leveraged providers may face greater risks than stronger tech giants. ## Bubble or Financing Risk? AI’s long-term potential differs from investment sustainability. Strong demand may not create shareholder value if costs, interest and capital spending outpace revenue. Investors should track cash flow, debt-service capacity and payback periods. ## Markets Focus on Profitability High rates could make debt-funded data centers costlier; weaker credit sentiment could force firms to pay more or revise plans. The key question is whether AI demand can generate sustainable profit. Performance may diverge between companies with strong balance sheets and those relying on aggressive borrowing. $BTC $ETH

How Will the U.S. Midterms Affect Markets? Key Period for Stocks and Sectors As the Nov. 3, 2026 midterms approach,investors are weighing political uncertainty alongside geopolitical tensions,inflation and Fed policy. Volatility may rise late in the year. Since 1931, the S&P 500 has gained an average 4.7% in midterm years,versus 9.5% in other years. It fell 18.1% in 2018 and 4.4% in 2022,with Fed tightening also a factor. Inflation,rates,growth and earnings remain key drivers. Stocks have often rebounded after elections. Since 1970, the S&P 500 averaged gains of 6.4% in post-election fourth quarters and 6.5% in the three months after midterms. Since 1962,it has never posted a negative return in the following 12 months, averaging 16.33%. Past performance guarantees nothing. All 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats and 36 governorships are contested. Republicans hold a 53–47 Senate majority, but their House edge is only five seats. A shift could affect taxes, spending and regulation. Maine,Michigan,Georgia,North Carolina,Texas,Ohio,Alaska and Iowa may be pivotal. Trump’s approval is 35% or lower in some polls. Democrats are favored to win the House, while the Senate race is less clear. Historically, healthcare gained an average 10.7% in midterm years and energy 8.9%. Consumer staples, healthcare, communication services and utilities may be defensive before elections. Afterward, cyclical consumer stocks, energy, financials, industrials, technology and materials may benefit as uncertainty eases. The Fed may matter more than the election. High rates raise financing costs and weigh on future earnings valuations, especially for tech stocks. Lower rate expectations could support equities. Trade and foreign policy may affect oil prices, the dollar and global risk appetite. Investors will watch congressional control, Fed decisions, inflation and earnings. Lower political uncertainty could lift stocks, but high rates or geopolitical risks may limit a recovery. $BTC $XRP

AI BOOM PUSHES COMPUTER PRICES HIGHER: U.S. TECH INFLATION HITS 20-YEAR HIGH Massive AI infrastructure investment is coinciding with rising U.S. consumer technology prices. September data showed one of the sharpest annual increases in computer and hardware prices in two decades. COMPUTER PRICES UP 9.7% In September, prices for computers, peripherals and smart home assistants rose 9.7% year over year, the highest annual increase since at least 2006. Software and accessories prices climbed 28.4%, showing cost pressures extend beyond hardware. AI INVESTMENT RAISES COSTS Tech companies are spending more on data centers, advanced chips and high-performance servers, boosting hardware demand. Strong demand for processors, including Nvidia’s, is increasing pressure on supply and production capacity. When component supplies cannot keep pace, AI infrastructure spending can push prices higher. The impact on consumer products will be watched in coming months. A NEW INFLATION RISK FOR THE FED Rising technology prices could complicate the Federal Reserve’s effort to return inflation to its 2% target. If AI investment raises costs beyond energy and housing, price pressures could spread more widely. U.S. annual inflation reached 3.7% in September. Persistent technology price increases alongside higher energy costs could make the Fed more cautious on rates. AI GROWTH COULD FUEL INFLATION AI may eventually boost productivity and lower production costs. Before those benefits emerge, infrastructure spending, chip demand and energy use may add short-term inflationary pressure. The key question is whether these cost increases are temporary or will spread to consumer prices and become persistent. If AI investment supports growth while pushing prices higher, the Fed may face a tougher balance between economic expansion and inflation control. $BTC $XRP

$BTC has once again circled back to the 82,500 pivot level I’ve been highlighting for days. If it breaks below this level this time, even $80,000 may not hold. The inflation data is having an impact, so I’d say longs should be careful this time...

U.S. INFLATION IS HOTTER THAN HEADLINE FIGURES SUGGEST September U.S. CPI exceeded forecasts in headline and core CPI. Rounded figures looked close to expectations, but unrounded data showed stronger pressure. The dollar rose as rate-hike bets increased. UNROUNDED FIGURES CHANGE THE PICTURE Headline CPI rose 0.649% monthly versus 0.58% expected. Rounded to 0.6%, it looked close to forecast, but the actual figure was notably higher. Core CPI rose 0.335% monthly versus 0.21% expected, beating forecasts for a second straight month. August core CPI was also 0.3% versus 0.2% expected. ANNUAL INFLATION ROSE TO 3.7% Headline CPI increased from 3.4% to 3.738% year over year. Core inflation ended a three-month decline, rising from 2.446% to 2.564%. ENERGY DRIVES HEADLINE CPI U.S. gasoline reached 4.41 $ per gallon in early October, a record for the month and about 40% higher year over year. Core CPI’s upside surprise suggests price pressure is spreading into services. A RARE UPSIDE SURPRISE Across 23 CPI reports since October 2024, monthly core inflation beat expectations four times and missed 11 times. September marked the fifth beat, with two consecutive upside surprises. DOLLAR RISES, RATE-HIKE BETS GROW Bloomberg’s Dollar Spot Index hit its highest since November. Markets priced a 17%–20% chance of an Oct. 27–28 hike and about an 85% chance of at least one hike by December. The Fed rate remains 3.75%–4.00%. University of Michigan inflation expectations rose to 4.7% over one year and 3.5% over five years, potentially encouraging a firmer Fed stance. MARKET OUTLOOK Hotter CPI revives the possibility of an October hike. A stronger dollar and higher rate expectations could pressure crypto and equities. Gold faces a balance between inflation-hedge demand and rising real yields. Markets await the Fed Beige Book at 21:00 Türkiye time, Thursday’s PPI and retail sales, and the Oct. 28 Fed decision. The key question is whether core inflation momentum persists. $BTC

U.S. CPI TOMORROW: FED’S OCTOBER DECISION HINGES ON INFLATION U.S. September CPI is due Oct. 14 at 15:30 Türkiye time. Record gasoline prices may lift headline inflation.

A weaker dollar and lower yields may support gold, Bitcoin, stocks. Mixed: Headline ≥3.8%, monthly core ≤0.2%. Energy-driven inflation without broader pressure could trigger an initial move and reversal.

Watch housing and services for fuel-cost spillover. Moves can reverse quickly; spreads may widen and stop orders slip. Manage leverage. CONCLUSION The key question is whether the energy shock spreads into core prices. In-line core inflation favors an October pause; an upside surprise could sharply reprice markets. Hot CPI may weigh on Bitcoin and gold; cooler data may support them, though geopolitical risks can alter the relationship. $BTC $ETH

WEEKLY MACRO AND RISK CALENDAR | OCTOBER 12–16, 2026 WEEKLY THEME After September's Fed hike to 3.75–4.00%, focus shifts to U.S. CPI, PPI and retail sales. Central bank speeches add rate uncertainty. ECONOMIC CALENDAR Monday, October 12 🇺🇸 Columbus Day: U.S. bond markets closed; Fed releases move to Tuesday 🇨🇦 Canadian Thanksgiving; liquidity may be thin. Tuesday, October 13 🇦🇺 RBA minutes 🇩🇪 Germany final CPI | 09:00 🇺🇸 Fed Governor speech, New Delhi | 10:45 🇺🇸 JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Wells Fargo earnings 🇪🇺 ECB President speech | Wednesday 05:10 Wednesday, October 14 🇨🇳 China CPI | 04:30 🇬🇧 BoE Governor speech | 08:30 🇨🇦 BoC Governor speech | 09:05 🇪🇺 ECB President speech | 11:30 🇺🇸 CPI | 15:30; Beige Book | 21:00 🇺🇸 Morgan Stanley and Bank of America earnings Thursday, October 15 🇦🇺 Employment | 03:30 🇨🇭 SNB President speech | 07:30 🇬🇧 GDP | 09:00; BoE speech | 10:30 🇪🇺 Eurozone industrial production | 12:00 🇺🇸 PPI, retail sales, jobless claims, Philadelphia Fed index | 15:30 🇺🇸 Fed Chair discussion with IMF chief | Friday 06:30; BoE speech | Friday 05:00 Friday, October 16 🇪🇺 Eurozone final CPI | 12:00 🇺🇸 Import/export prices | 15:30 🇺🇸 Industrial production and capacity use | 16:15 CRYPTO IMPACT AND WEEKLY RISKS The key risk is U.S. CPI Wednesday at 15:30. Hot inflation could lift hike expectations, the dollar and yields, pressuring BTC and altcoins. Softer data could support risk appetite, but Thursday's PPI and retail sales may reverse the move. Strong spending and hot producer prices Thursday could reinforce the Fed's hawkish stance and trigger crypto-futures volatility. Central bank speeches may shift rate expectations. The Fed Chair's Friday 06:30 TRT discussion could affect Asian trading. The Beige Book adds context after CPI. U.S. bond markets are closed Monday, so liquidity may be thin. Crypto trades 24/7; bank earnings may affect risk sentiment. $BTC $ETH

$LUNC looks the same, with nothing changing. It followed the decline in the evening but has now climbed back above the 5,000 level for the time being. As long as 4,750 holds, it will continue moving sideways within the range. It's in the same situation as its sibling, USTC

$XRP triggered a sell signal after breaking below the $1.3650 support level. Buyers pushed the price up to $1.40 with a relief bounce, but they are nearing exhaustion.

If $1.3650 breaks, the price could fall to $1.2468. If that level also breaks, it should touch the $1.1231 level.

$BTC is doing its chart justice 👌

After the $80,300 level, it is now testing $82,500, which was the previous support and has now become resistance. If it breaks through this level, it could climb as high as $87,000, but honestly, I don't think that's likely.

The path from here to $76,500 looks as though it has been paved with $82,500 stones. If $82,500 is broken to the upside, the chart will be invalidated.

Let's wait and see... I added to my existing short position at $82,500.
