๐ Cross-Market Macro Trends
U.S. September PPI surged to 6.3% year over year (vs. 5.3% expected), while core PPI reached 5.0%. Combined with hotter-than-expected CPI, this pushed the probability of a Fed rate hike in October to around 29%. The U.S. dollar index strengthened, gold fluctuated at elevated levels, supported by safe-haven demand, and U.S. stocks came under pressure and pulled back. Sticky inflation is weighing heavily on risk-asset valuations.
๐ Key Crypto Market Developments
BTC briefly fell below $80,000 after the PPI data, but has since stabilized around $80,000โ$81,000. Spot ETFs saw net outflows of more than $260 million in a single day, led by Fidelity and BlackRock. ETH was weighed down by VanEck withdrawing its staking ETF application and continued short-selling by Wintermute, touching a two-month low of around $2,315. Overall market sentiment is defensive, and short-term volatility remains high.
๐ฅ Assets to Watch Today
โข INJ: Up nearly 23% over 24 hours, with rising trading volume and renewed on-chain ecosystem activity. Watch whether it can hold above $9.
โข ZRO (LayerZero): Up more than 16% as the cross-chain narrative gains traction. The full-chain interoperability sector is worth watching closely.
โข XRP: Whale deposits to exchanges hit a seven-month high, signaling potential near-term selling pressure. However, Evernorthโs institutional deployment of 473 million XRP provides medium-term support.
๐ก Strategy
As expectations of reflation heat up, cryptoโs correlation with U.S. equities is rising. In the short term, consider limiting position sizes and prioritizing liquid, fundamentally strong major assets. If BTC finds support around $80,000 from whale accumulation, consider scaling in with a small position. For ETH, wait for ETF outflows to turn positive before looking for a rebound; it is not advisable to chase gains at current levels. Risk management should take priority over return-seeking.
