6%.

That is how much the KOSPI collapsed intraday today—below 6,000, its worst level since late July. Samsung and SK Hynix each dropped 8% amid fears over AI valuations and competition from Chinese memory-chip makers.

$BTC got dragged below $81,000 in the panic.

Then it did the only thing that matters: bounced 2.7% back above $83,600 while the rout was still underway.

$ETH joined the bid off five-day lows. XRP turned higher off three-week lows. Funding was just 0.0055%/8h—no leverage panic, no forced flush. This was spot buying, not a squeeze.

Tomorrow at 8:30 ET is September CPI—consensus is 3.6–3.7% headline, up from 3.4%. Bear logic says crypto should bleed into this.

It isn't. When the market stops reacting to bad news, the bad news is already priced in.

$BTC into CPI: hold above 84.2K (today's high) and October's 87.2K high is next in line. Lose 81K and the floor test gets real.
