U.S. CPI for October came in hotter than expected, putting the Fed’s easing expectations to the test again and making sentiment toward crypto risk more cautious.

According to @Cointelegraph, October CPI rose 0.4% month over month, above the estimated 0.3%. Core CPI rose 0.3%, exceeding the expected 0.2% and holding steady from September’s pace.

Core inflation has not cooled as much as the market had hoped, which often makes yields and the U.S. dollar more sensitive, putting short-term pressure on risk assets. $BTC and $ETH are two tokens that often react early when markets reprice the interest-rate path.

One month of data is not enough to conclude that the inflation trend has reversed. Investors still need more employment data and signals from the Fed before the macro picture becomes clearer.

Market view: $BTC could see greater volatility while awaiting confirmation from upcoming data, but there is not yet enough evidence to call this a long-term turning point.
