[MACRO]


Fed Hawkish Shift & Hot Inflation Push Bitcoin to Yearly Lows
Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a sharp sell-off, plunging to an intraday low of $58,131. The recent price drop was heavily driven by aggressive macroeconomic headwinds rather than crypto-specific issues.

Core Factors Driving Today's Crash:

Higher-Than-Expected PCE Inflation: The U.S. Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index jumped to 4.1% year-over-year. This marks the highest inflation gauge in 3 years, severely dampening hopes for upcoming interest rate cuts Pluang.

The Fed Unplugs Forward Guidance: Under new Chair Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve completely removed its standard policy guidance. The "Summary of Economic Projections" also revealed that 9 out of 18 officials now favor a higher year-end interest rate target of 3.8%, signaling prolonged monetary tightening.

Massive Institutional Capital Flight: Rising Treasury yields and high borrowing costs have driven massive liquidity rotation out of non-yielding crypto assets. U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a staggering $469 million outflow in just 24 hours, bringing total structural withdrawals to $6 billion over seven weeks.

In a high-interest-rate environment, non-yielding assets are a sin. Can BTC hold at this level?

This PCE of 4.1% is too harsh, the expectation of rate cuts has directly cooled down, and BTC is suffering accordingly.

Kevin Warsh pulled the plug right away—forward guidance got deleted just like that, and the market was left stunned.
