🚹 US CPI for September 2026: Inflation exceeds forecasts!

US inflation data has just been released:
📌 Headline CPI (YoY): 3.7% (Forecast: 3.6% | Previous: 3.4%)
📌 Headline CPI (MoM): +0.6% (Forecast: +0.6%)
📌 Core CPI (YoY): 2.6% (Forecast: 2.4% | Previous: 2.4%)

🔍 What happened?
The main driver of the inflation acceleration was a record surge in oil and gasoline prices in September. However, the rise in core inflation to 2.6% indicates that price pressures are spreading to other sectors as well.

📉 How does this affect the crypto market?
1. Pressure on risk assets: Higher inflation means the US Federal Reserve is forced to keep interest rates high for longer. The dollar (DXY) gains momentum, while BTC and altcoins face short-term pressure.
2. Volatility and liquidations: A surge in volatility is expected across capital markets.
3. Key $BTC levels: The market is closely watching the $80,000–$81,000 support zone. If this level holds, a "buy the dip" scenario is possible after the initial wave of negative sentiment.

⚠ Conclusion: The macroeconomic backdrop remains tough. Be cautious with leverage on futures!
