$BTC U.S. inflation data shocks the market again!
PPI surges to 6.3%!
The market had expected just 5.3%.
A full percentage point above expectations!
That's a nearly four-month high, putting bulls to the test once again!
The latest U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) came in at 6.3%, well above the market expectation of 5.3% and its highest level in nearly four months. PPI mainly reflects price changes at the production level. If cost pressures on businesses continue to rise, they could eventually feed through to consumer inflation. Core CPI had already shown signs of picking up, and renewed pressure on producer prices may now intensify concerns about the Federal Reserve's future interest rate policy.
What's really worth watching is how Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar Index react to this data. If the market further scales back expectations for monetary easing, risk assets such as BTC and U.S. stocks could remain under pressure in the short term. Pay particular attention to the risk of concentrated liquidations among highly leveraged positions. However, a higher-than-expected reading doesn't necessarily mean the market will keep falling. If spot buyers can absorb the selling pressure, a sharp rebound may still follow once the bad news is priced in.
PPI beat expectations by a full percentage point—the macro pressure continues to build.
Keep a close eye on BTC's key support level tonight. If the bulls can withstand this wave of pressure, a rebound opportunity is still worth watching!
