#cpiwatch CPI drops today and this print will decide hike or hold. August nonfarm payrolls came in at 162,000 against expectations of around 56,000. Unemployment stayed at 4.1% and prior months were revised higher. The labor market is not weakening. Yesterday’s PPI added more pressure: +0.4% month-over-month and +5.4% year-over-year, with diesel jumping 24%. Oil is hovering near $100 on supply disruptions. Markets have now priced roughly a 70% chance of a 25 bp hike at the September 15-16 FOMC meeting. Today’s August CPI is the last major data point before that meeting. Consensus is looking for headline +0.4% m/m and 3.4% y/y, with core around +0.2%. Energy will likely lift the headline. The real test is whether core stays contained or starts to broaden.My view is the Fed hikes. Chair Warsh has already said inflation is not moving toward2% at a sufficient speed. A resilient jobs market gives the Committee cover to respond to the energy shock instead of waiting. If core prints 0.3% or hotter, the hike is almost locked in. A cooler core (0.1% or less) could keep a hold on the table, but the bar is now high. I am holding gold as a hedge. A confirmed hike and stronger dollar could pressure gold in the near term around the $4,350–4,380 area, but ongoing inflation and geopolitical risk still support keeping the position rather than chasing the latest move. I am not adding to broad equity indices until we see both the CPI reaction and the Fed statement. Energy-related names look relatively better supported if this impulse continues. Higher-for-longer rates remain a headwind for high-growth valuations.I will decide the next adjustment after today’s number. Follow for the CPI reaction and the updated view after the Fed meeting. #CPIWatch #badshah #CryptoSectorsFallSecondDay $MET T $哈基米 $牛来
After breaking above $1,200 $ZEC EC is holding near the highs with strong momentum. The move from $1,000 to $1,200 happened quickly, and if this momentum continues, the next leg toward $1,500 and eventually $2,000 could come much faster.
It’s never too late to catch a strong trend, but risk management is key. Long Setup Entry: $1,220 – $1,240 TP1: $1,260 TP2: $1,280 TP3: $1,300 TP4: $1,500 TP5: $2,000 SL: $1,180 Watch the $1,200 area closely. Holding above it keeps the bullish structure intact. DYOR and manage your risk. #zec #Zcash
Me patiently waiting for: $ZEC to $2,500 😁 $DASH to $200 🤑 $ARB to$1 🔥 You may laugh about those prices but... we all can't ignore the fact that, Zcash is currently above $1220 with +20% in last 24h... went from $800 to $1200+ in just 2 days.And DASH currently at $71 went from $45 to $78 in just 24 hours 😁 So if you have been one watching from the side lines and still waiting for confirmation... There is still time to ACCUMULATE more DASH and ZEC.. I am going to BUY more, because i don't want to miss DASH just like i missed ZEC earlier 💪🏻 🎯 My LONG TERM TARGET : DASH $95+ 🎯 ZEC Target : $1,500+ Zcash has ETF from Grayscale, and DASH has the Privacy narrative and the money rotation into privacy coins, DASH will definitely gain traction
🌟 206K ISN'T THE STORY — WHAT COMES NEXT IS Initial jobless claims increased to 206,000, up 2,000 from the previous week's revised figure. The four-week average also moved higher to 207,250. The labor market hasn't suddenly broken down, but traders are increasingly focused on whether future reports confirm a meaningful cooling trend. For traders, the key is simple: Don't make a major decision from one data point. Track the trend, watch market reaction, and let $BTC , $ETH and $BNB confirm the sentiment. #usweeklyinitialjoblessclaimsriseto206000
$BTW just went vertical. The 4H chart shows a powerful breakout, with price climbing from around $0.40 to $0.67+ in a short period. Now the important part isn’t chasing the candle.
$0.60 is the key area to watch. Holding above it keeps the bullish structure intact, while a clean break above $0.70 could open the door for another expansion. After a move this strong, volatility can be extreme. Let the chart confirm the next move instead of FOMOing into the top. $BTW is definitely one to watch.
Bitcoin Around $63K: Key Levels and Market Signals to Watch This Week 📊
Market Update | August 17,
📊 Market Update | August 17, 2026 Bitcoin $BTC is starting the new week near the $63,000–$63,600 area, with traders closely watching whether the market can stabilize above this zone or face another downside move. Recent market data shows BTC around $63.6K, while the weekly trend remains under pressure. 🔎 Bitcoin Market Snapshot - BTC price: approximately $63.6K - BTC market cap: approximately $1.33 trillion - Key support area: around $63,000 - Additional downside reference: around $62,000 - Important resistance: around $65,000 - ETH: approximately $1.9K Bitcoin remains by far the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, with Ethereum in second place at roughly $233 billion. 📉 Why Is Bitcoin Struggling? One important factor is the recent weakness in institutional ETF flows. U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly experienced approximately $389.7 million of net outflows during the week of August 10, after strong inflows the previous week. Persistent ETF outflows can reduce an important source of demand and contribute to cautious market sentiment. At the same time, Bitcoin has been affected by broader macroeconomic uncertainty. Markets are watching expectations around U.S. Federal Reserve policy, upcoming FOMC minutes and the broader interest-rate outlook. Geopolitical uncertainty is another factor keeping risk appetite under pressure, particularly developments involving the Middle East and oil markets. 📊 The Levels Traders Are Watching The $63,000 region has become an important short-term area to monitor. If BTC can maintain stability around this zone, market participants may look toward the $65,000 area as the next significant resistance. On the other hand, a sustained move below $63,000 could bring greater attention to the $62,000 area and potentially increase short-term volatility. These are market reference levels—not guaranteed price targets. 🟣 Ethereum Also Remains in Focus Ethereum (ETH) is trading around the $1,900 area. Current market commentary is watching whether ETH can hold this level and challenge the $1,920 region, with $2,000 representing another psychologically important level. Because BTC remains the dominant asset by market capitalization, significant Bitcoin moves can also influence sentiment across major altcoins. 🧠 What Could Move the Market Next? Several catalysts deserve attention this week: 1. Federal Reserve signals 🇺🇸 The upcoming FOMC minutes could provide additional clues about future U.S. monetary policy. 2. ETF flows 💰 Investors will be watching whether Bitcoin ETF outflows continue or reverse. 3. Macroeconomic data 📈 Inflation, employment and interest-rate expectations can influence demand for risk assets such as cryptocurrencies. 4. Geopolitical developments 🌍 Changes in oil prices and geopolitical tensions could affect broader risk sentiment. 5. Bitcoin's $63K–$65K range 📊 A decisive move outside this range could provide a clearer indication of short-term momentum. ⚠️ Final Takeaway Bitcoin's current market structure remains cautious rather than decisively bullish. BTC is holding around the $63K region, but recent ETF outflows, macroeconomic uncertainty and the loss of important longer-term technical levels mean volatility could remain elevated. For market observers, the key question this week is simple: Can Bitcoin regain momentum above $65K, or will sellers push BTC below the $63K support area? The answer may depend heavily on ETF flows, Federal Reserve expectations and broader risk sentiment. This article is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice.

Bitcoin Daily 📈 $BTC losing the week open at 63550. Dip under the trendline looks inevitable. Most probably it’ll hunt for stops under 62228, maybe even cover 61806 on the same move. The rest is unpredictable. Frankly, on the Daily and Weekly this chart looks very dumpy. But the market rarely does the most obvious move - or at least not without some fake moves and manipulations. I’ve been pointing at ~60.8k since July 3rd, and that level still acts as a magnet. The difference now is that if it had dipped there back then, the chances of a bounce would’ve been much higher. These days it looks more probable that it’ll just skip it and dump straight to 44-48k 🎯 Nearest Key Levels Above: 63500 / 64000 / 64700 Below: 62228 / 61806 / 61300

$BTC is sitting almost exactly on the MA60 at $63,733, so this is a key decision area. RSI: 41 → bearish momentum, but not oversold. Price is struggling below $63,780–$63,800 resistance. Support: $63,695 → $63,610 → $63,520 Resistance: $63,780 → $63,867 → $64,010 Short setup: Wait for rejection around $63,780–$63,800. 🎯 TP1: $63,695 🎯 TP2: $63,610 🛑 SL: above $63,870 Long setup: Only consider a long if $BTC reclaims $63,800 with strong volume and holds above it. 🎯 TP1: $63,867 🎯 TP2: $64,010 🛑 SL: below $63,700 My bias: Slightly bearish while $BTC remains below $63,800. I’d rather wait for confirmation than chase the current price
