Inflation is spreading from “energy-driven” to “broad-based stickiness”—the signal to watch most closely this week.
September CPI rose 3.7% year over year, while core CPI rose 2.6%; both exceeded expectations. More noteworthy than the figures themselves is the breadth of price increases: prices for recreation, used cars, education, airfares, healthcare, and apparel are all rising. Energy prices rose 5.2% in September alone, bringing their cumulative increase so far this year to 20.4%.
What does this mean? If inflation were driven by energy alone, the Fed could easily dismiss it as “transitory.

Will There Be a “Black Swan” Event Before the Midterms?
Tensions in the Middle East have continued to escalate recently, oil prices keep rising, and the U.S. midterm elections are approaching. Many people are asking: Could a “black swan” event suddenly erupt before the November 3 election? Today, let’s break this down across several key factors.
I. Keeping Oil Prices Down Has Reached a Critical Point
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the U.S. to push down international crude oil prices, for two main reasons:
1. Iran’s actions are becoming increasingly aggressive: Iran has made it clear

Bitcoin Mining Stocks Plunge: 4 Major Firms Lose Over 12% in One Day
Bitcoin miners took a beating in a single session as higher-than-expected US inflation data sparked a broad sell-off across tech and AI stocks. TeraWulf fell 12.64%, Core Scientific dropped 12.44%, Cipher Mining lost 12.35%, and IREN slid roughly 12.2%.
The trigger was hotter-than-forecast inflation, which raised concerns that the Fed may hold rates higher for longer or even consider another hike. Companies valued on future growth assumptions took the hardest hit. The S&P 500 fell 1.1%, its largest single-day decline since Ju

Lately, watching the market has been giving me a headache. Luckily, we got a V-shaped rebound, or I really wouldn’t have been able to take it anymore😭😭😭 (80% of my portfolio is in BTC).
Come to think of it, I don’t really like watching the charts every day anymore. I just hold my BTC and ETH and leave them alone. Instead, I look for ways to earn a little extra through financial products.
I didn’t have much to do today, so I checked the exchanges for financial products and Earn opportunities. I saw Gate’s Launchpool, which still has a few pools mining, and suddenly realized that Round 383 $D

Little Puppy was born on February 11, 2024, inspired by Elon Musk’s tweet, “I love puppies.” It caused a sensation as soon as it launched, but the project team later dumped their tokens and exited. Holders from more than 60 countries in the international community joined forces to build this meme coin, aiming to create a 10,000x crypto legend. Little Puppy’s Ethereum contract:

Solana prediction markets show a stronger bearish consensus, with most capital betting it will fall below 100 this month.
A drop to 90 would be a deep correction, offering attractive odds but limited probability; a strong rebound to 130 is a long-shot option that would require a sector-wide breakout to materialize.
In terms of odds, the rebound has the advantage, but its probability is low; a fall to 100 is the market’s baseline expectation.

Google says its Willow quantum chip reduced errors in a key process by 40 times, a major breakthrough.
In an early worst-case scenario, quantum computers could crack Bitcoin wallets by 2029–2030, just 3-4 years away.

I really love this OIL setup, very clean and clear.
Broke out on weekly.
Long can be an entry 93 with SL around 79 targeting 120$ 1:2 RR
If the SL hits look for an entry around 70$
1:5 RR.
I’d personally wait for 70$ entry.

Fed Chair Warsh’s latest remarks: At the Fed, we have made clear that we will achieve price stability. I do not support prejudging the outcome of the meeting.
While he did not explicitly make hawkish calls for rate hikes, the overall messaging already feels hawkish. The market’s biggest pain point now is persistently high inflation, with no meaningful decline yet.
Following these remarks, risk assets will come under pressure again, and a sell-off could happen at any time. When trading at this stage, be sure to manage risk and keep positions tight.
Trading advice:
Short BTC around 82,400–83,000

TapeOut Ecosystem Watch | October 16
Yesterday’s updates included four developments worth keeping an eye on👇
① TapeFour: Launch mechanism integration
The two parties announced the integration of TapeHub’s launch mechanism to launch TapeFour. Fundraising can be conducted in BNB or BEM, connecting transistor sales, mining machines, and project token issuance.
Next, the key is to see whether actual fundraising, trading, and exits can work end to end. The accelerated burns apply to the corresponding project tokens, not BEM; “LPs permanently locked” also still needs on-chain verification.
