#USPPIHits2.5YearHigh
The U.S. Producer Price Index has surged to its highest level in over three years, sending shockwaves through every corner of the financial markets. May's headline PPI climbed 1.1% month-over-month, above the consensus forecast of 0.7%, while the annual rate rocketed to 6.5% the largest year-on-year advance since November 2022. This data point is not merely a statistical milestone. It is a structural signal that wholesale inflation is embedding itself deep into the U.S. economy, with cascading implications for consumers, asset prices, and Federal Reserve policy.

A three-stage rocket (as well as the vast majority of multistage rockets) does indeed discard its stages one by one as the fuel is depleted during liftoff.
First discard fiat currency; that’s the first stage;
Then discard altcoins; that’s the second stage;
Keep Bitcoin, and successfully ascend to heaven.

Yesterday BTC short hit both take-profit targets; ETH did not enter
The market fell rapidly after CPI was released last night. Yesterday, BTC entered the 84,100–84,200 short-selling zone, and both targets at 83,500 and 83,100 were reached;
ETH did not enter the planned 2,538–2,550 zone, so there was no entry and no profit or loss.
Prices have now fallen for several consecutive sessions. Today, I will not chase shorts at low levels and will only wait for a rebound into the resistance zone.
【BTC Strategy】
Direction: Short on a rebound
Entry: 82,150–82,280, under resistance
Target one: 81,500

September CPI: hotter than expected, and not just because of energy.
→ Headline: 3.7% (3.6% expected, 3.4% in August)
→ Core: 2.6% (2.5% expected), +0.3% month over month (0.2% expected)
→ Gasoline: +9.1% month over month, more than half of the increase

#ETH is less clear-cut, with both an impulsive decline and an ABC correction still in play.
Price is making a lower low while RSI makes a higher low but developing bullish divergence supports a potential rebound.
My tentative preference is the corrective interpretation, aligning with my #BTC outlook. But a bounce alone won’t settle the count: it could also be wave 4 before another leg lower.
Confirmation matters.

CPI missed by one-tenth on both headline and core, and the market reacted as if it missed by a full point. Round two is PPI at 8:30 AM ET today, so this is a pre-data read, not a prediction.
1. A small miss, a big repricing
CPI printed 3.7% y/y against 3.6% expected, with the monthly 0.6% in line. Core came in at 2.6% against 2.5%, and +0.3% m/m against 0.2%. Gasoline, up 9.1% on the month, explained about half of the headline gain, so energy was known. Core wasn’t. October hike odds jumped from roughly 22% to somewhere between 35% and 50
