đ Bitcoin: The surge to $85,500 was short-lived. Why is the market stalling?
Bitcoin climbed to $85,500 following a softer-than-expected US inflation report (August PCE showed a 3.4% year-over-year increase, with core PCE at 3.0%). This reduced the likelihood of another Fed rate hike in October; however, BTC failed to hold its gains, and the price pulled back to $83,700.
Key takeaways and market dynamics:
đ Main headwind â government bond yields: Despite positive inflation data, the yield on 10-year US bonds remains near the 5.28% mark, while 30-year yields are at highs not seen since 2002 (5.62%). As long as bonds offer such yields, it is difficult for risk assets to sustain a rally.
đą Top gainers: Altcoin $HYPE gained 3% (to ~$89), and Dogecoin rose 2% (nearing $0.10). $ETH , $BNB , #TRX , and #zec saw gains of less than 1%.
đŽ Laggards: Solana (#sol ) dipped nearly 1% (falling below $119), while XRP remained flat at $1.50.
đ Macro context: Asian stock markets and US index futures are rising, driven by strong reports from the tech sector (notably Micron). Alphabet rose 1.5% following the announcement of the new Gemini 4 Argon AI model.
â ïž Conclusion: Moderate inflation data alone is no longer sufficient to sustain the bullish rally. The cryptocurrency market needs a real and lasting decline in US bond yields.
