The CPI release completely reshuffled the existing playbook.
Core inflation hasn’t cooled, and the market has shifted from “betting on rate cuts” to “pricing in rate-hike risk.”
📊 Data at a glance:
• CPI rose 3.7% year over year, versus 3.6% expected and 3.4% previously
• Core CPI rose 0.3% month over month, versus 0.2% expected
• Core CPI rose 2.6% year over year, versus 2.5% expected and 2.4% previously
• The U.S. Dollar Index is nearing 103, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is at 5.29%
• BTC plunged from 83,860 to 82,731 in five minutes, then fell below 82,000
• October rate hike probability: 20%-22% → 44%-47%
• Probability of at least one more rate hike before year-end: >95%
🧠 3 major changes to BTC trading logic:
1️⃣ The focus has shifted from “When will rates be cut?” to “Will there be consecutive rate hikes?”
2️⃣ BTC is more sensitive to U.S. Treasury yields, with its correlation to the Nasdaq back to around 40%.
3️⃣ ETF average cost basis is around 84,340; a rebound to that level could trigger selling pressure from investors looking to break even
4️⃣ Inflows are missing. Only stabilizing long-term bond yields + a return to net ETF inflows would create conditions for a bullish outlook.
📉 Key price levels:
• Range: 80,500–84,200; the lower boundary is being tested
• Support: 81,300; if it breaks and outflows continue, watch the area around 77,400
• Resistance: 83,000–83,300; reclaiming this range would signal that the decline has halted
• A breakout above 84,500, along with ETF inflows returning, could reopen the door to further upside
🎯 My approach:
Don’t bet on a direction in advance; stay defensive and respond at key levels.
Until interest rate expectations stabilize, treat a rebound as just a rebound—no rush to call a reversal.
Wait for two signals: long-term bond yields stabilizing + ETF flows turning net positive again.
