The U.S. September Consumer Price Index (CPI) is scheduled for release at 12:30 UTC on October 14. This report is the final significant inflation data point before the Federal Reserve's October FOMC meeting. Consensus forecasts indicate headline CPI year-over-year will rise to approximately 3.6%, driven primarily by energy prices, while core CPI year-over-year is expected to remain near 2.5%.
1. Will September CPI come in above or below expectations?
The headline number is expected to accelerate due to a well-documented increase in gasoline prices. Therefore, the headline figure has limited po

Bitcoin quantum-safe protection 82% cheaper as researchers race to secure 6M exposed BTC

Most people see one big green number. But $OBI didn’t climb once. It jumped twice.
The first jump came last evening, with lots of trading behind it. Then it went quiet for hours. The second push came this afternoon, up to 0.0016284. (Gate chart, 14 Oct, 19:00)
Here’s what caught my eye: the afternoon climb had much less trading behind it than the first one. Since then, the price has slipped about 21% from that top and now sits near 0.00129.
Today’s total is up 134.18%, with about $352K traded in 24 hours.
I don’t know yet what started it. And small coins can drop as fast as they rise.

After the bearish CPI data was released in the evening, Bitcoin began a one-way decline from around 83,900, steadily breaking below the 83,000 mark and reaching a low near 82,500, for a total drop of nearly 1,400 points. The short position we opened around 83,500 in the evening accurately captured this decline, successfully taking profit on nearly 800 points of movement. The price has now made a slight rebound to around 82,700 for consolidation.
On the 4-hour chart, the price has broken below the recent uptrend line and lost support from the MA7 and MA30 moving averages, indicating that the sh

One Day Until the CPI Release, and I’ve Written Trading Plans for All Three Scenarios
Today is October 13, with one day remaining until the release of the U.S. September CPI data. The data will be released tomorrow at 20:30 (UTC+8).‌
First, let’s lay out the expected figures. The market expects the headline CPI annual growth rate for September to rise from 3.4% to 3.6%-3.7%, while core CPI is expected to remain around 2.4%-2.5%. Barclays and Morgan Stanley both forecast a 0.24% month-on-month increase in core CPI, below August’s 0.29%, mainly due to a slowdown in wireless communications servi

If it were me, would I choose STRC or hold BTC directly?
⚖️ STRC and BTC both appear to be related to Strategy’s capital operations, but in essence they are two completely different investment choices.
If it were me, I would first ask myself: Is the investment goal to pursue potential capital appreciation, or to obtain relatively regular cash income?
The core logic of holding BTC directly is betting on the long-term value of Bitcoin and growth in market demand. It comes with no dividend commitment from an issuer and does not require reliance on a company’s continued buybacks, but price volatil

October 14: The Calm Before CPI — My Read on Today's Market
The market is doing something interesting today: it’s not panicking, but it’s not celebrating either. It’s waiting. And that waiting tells us more than the price moves themselves.
US equities closed nearly flat. Nasdaq slipped 0.15% to 27,204, S&P was basically unchanged, Dow down 0.35%. But under the hood, the story is split. Semiconductors fell for a fifth straight session, with memory names like SK Hynix and Micron down over 3%. Yet Apple and Microsoft hit record highs, Microsoft’s market cap topped $4.03T, Oracle jumped 4%, and Me

The daily chart has slid from 95.25, with the current price around 82 and yesterday’s low at 79.38. The four-hour EMA50 around 85.1 and daily EMA20 around 86.3 are pressing from above, while the daily EMA50 around 83.6 has also already been broken. The weekly chart is still above the EMA20; the short-term trade is the daily Guai, not a week

#美国9月CPI超预期 The U.S. September CPI released tonight came in well above expectations across the board. The market will immediately reprice the probability of a Fed rate hike in October, and Bitcoin will likely come under pressure in the short term.
How far did inflation exceed expectations
Data released at 20:30 Beijing time showed:
· Headline CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, up from 3.4% previously
· Core CPI rose 2.6% year-on-year, up from 2.4% previously
· Core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month, above expectations of 0.2%
This means the market’s previous expectation of “moderating core inflation” has

【October Crypto Market & BTC Intraday | October 14】
BTC is currently trading at approximately $83,400. On the daily chart, it remains above the EMA30 (approximately $82,386), but the MACD is still weak, while the RSI is around 53, indicating a corrective consolidation after the pullback. On the 1-hour chart, BTC is moving sideways around $83,000–$84,300, with no clear short-term direction yet.
Intraday levels to watch:
Resistance: $84,100–$84,350; a breakout could target around $84,800.
Support: $83,000–$82,800; a breakdown would bring the previous low zone of $81,000–$80,345 into focus.
