[In-depth Analysis | CPI Ignites Rate-Hike Expectations, a Stress Test for the Leveraged Market]
Last night, U.S. September CPI came in above expectations at +3.7% year over year (core +2.6%), and the market’s bet on another Federal Reserve rate hike jumped from 17% to nearly 30% in a week. Citi expects a rate hike in December. Under this macro pivot, Bitcoin once fell to $81,500, and $ETH on Binance saw more than $106 million in long liquidations within one hour, marking the largest hourly liquidation in nearly six months.
A more concerning structural signal: crypto futures trading volume is now about 9 times that of spot, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $261.5 million in a single day, and Ethereum saw net outflows of $129.5 million. The market built on leverage is the most vulnerable when rates are being repriced — this selloff is essentially a macro deleveraging event, not a deterioration in on-chain fundamentals.
A bright spot in the divergence: $CAKE The Flip proposal (69% emission reduction, LP share raised to 88%) has won CZ’s support, and the deflationary narrative is strengthening against the trend; $SOL 1 the October 21 Alpenglow upgrade (finality of about 150 ms) is also worth tracking.
In the storm, the key theme is the divergence between spot and leveraged capital.
