🔥 Hot #CPI Hits Crypto — $954M Liquidated as BTC Tests $80K
US inflation came in hotter than expected and risk assets sold off fast.
September CPI: 3.7% vs 3.6% expected
Core CPI: +0.3% vs +0.2% forecast
#NASDAQ lost 1.88%, BTC slid toward $80K, and leveraged longs took most of the damage.
💥 $954M liquidated in 24h
• Longs: $877.6M
• Shorts: $76.6M
• Fear & Greed: 53 — Neutral, down from 62
That liquidation split is the real signal: this wasn’t a balanced reset. Long positioning got hit hard.
📊 Market pulse
BTC: ~$81,125 (-2.67%)
$ETH : ~$2,371 (-5.39%)
TOP-10: TRON -0.08% / ZEC -12.34%
TOP-100: $PYTH +7.96% / $PUMP -13.89%
A few green alts don’t change the picture. This is broad weakness, not rotation.
🔹 #VanEck withdrew its staked ETH ETF application, shelving a product built around Lido stETH and staking yield.
🔹 #Polygon completed its Coinme acquisition, expanding regulated payments coverage across 48 U.S. states and strengthening its stablecoin infrastructure.
🚀 Market structure
Inflation brought rate-hike risk back into focus, longs got flushed, and sentiment dropped sharply — but not to panic.
That makes #BTC holding the $80K area much more important than isolated altcoin pumps.
If $80K holds, the market still has room to stabilize. If it breaks cleanly, the next move won’t need much leverage to accelerate.
