Inflation just came in hotter than expected.
3.7% vs 3.6% forecast.
Bitcoin's reaction:
Opened near $83K.
Tagged $84K.
Now sitting around $81.7K.
But the real story isn't the price.
Earlier this week, markets saw about an 80% chance the Fed would NOT hike in October.
After this report, the odds of a hike are roughly 50/50.
Rate hikes drain liquidity.
And $BTC runs on liquidity.
Levels I'm watching:
$80K is the line bulls have to defend.
Lose it, and $77K comes into play.
Hold it and reclaim $84K, and this was just noise. 👀

Why is Stop Loss so important? By setting a Stop Loss, you save your entire margin. Never hesitate to set a Stop Loss. Don’t limit your profit, but limit your losses. ✌

The dollar has wiped out all its post-CPI gains! Why is the market no longer buying the stronger-inflation, stronger-dollar narrative?

📉Oct 15 Midday Market Outlook📉
$ETH 思路：
Chase the long on a right-side breakout of 2389 with volume, then move the stop-loss back.
Chase the short on a right-side breakdown of 2356 with volume, and make sure to set a stop-loss.
Go long with one position after a retest of 2311 confirms that support is holding; stop-loss below 2279.
If ETH holds firmly above 2389 on the hourly timeframe, look toward 2404-2450.
Watch 2450 above for a one-position short; stop-loss on a breakout above 2500.
Left-side wick orders: long at 2250, stop-loss below 2222.
Upper resistance: 2389-2404-2450

After declining to ~$80.1K, focus is shifting to the $80–82K zone. Traders and analysts note that significant demand is concentrated here, which could halt the correction.
Holding scenario. If the level is not breached, the base case remains consolidation with a possible recovery first to $84–85K and then to $86.5K.
Risks. A close below $80K would intensify the correction. In that case, the nearest targets would be $77–78K.

Luckily, I got out completely earlier.
I can't imagine how painful it must have been for those playing A-shares these past two months.
Even M couldn't withstand getting beaten like this, right?

$ETH Short Setup: Price May Drop Further
Signal Action: Short $ETH
Entry Range: $2,370 – $2,390
Stop Loss (SL): $2,425
Take Profit Levels:
TP1: $2,340
TP2: $2,317
TP3: $2,290
ETH has dropped sharply on the 1-hour chart, and sellers are still in control. If the price falls below $2,317, it could drop toward $2,290, but if buyers push the price back up, this trade setup may fail.

My firm bearish view has remained unchanged from Monday through today. U.S. stocks plunged sharply last night, while A-shares also opened significantly lower. The short positions from the sharp morning drop took profit smoothly, locking in 2,800 U!

$FIL has entered oversold territory, but “a rebound is due” and “the bottom is in” are completely different things. I would rather lay out the bearish case first.
Bears are focused on the risk of falling below 1.0221, while bulls need to prove that buyers remain after breaking above 1.2139. Current volume is 0.93x.
The current price is 1.0382, about 1.55% from the 1-hour support at 1.0221 and about 16.92% from the resistance at 1.2139. The position determines which side is more urgent, so stop guessing the bottom for now and wait for a new support structure.
It is more reliable to let the bou

Bitcoin drops to $81,300 support as Fed hike odds hit 55% amid $100M crypto wipeout
Bitcoin dropped below $83,000 on Wednesday after hotter-than-expected US core inflation data triggered more than $100 million in crypto liquidations within an hour, testing the asset’s improving spot demand and fragile recovery.
CoinGlass data showed that over $100 million in leveraged positions were liquidated in the hour following the inflation report, pushing total liquidations above $220 million over 24 hours. The sharp wave of forced selling highlighted how quickly traders reacted to renewed inflation pres

$WAL Bottom line first: short-term bullish, but this is a capital-driven short squeeze, not a trend-based long opportunity. The risk of chasing highs is extremely high; buying the pullback is the right move.
After surging 44.95% over 24h, the funding rate stands at -0.3616%, meaning shorts are continuously paying longs—indicating that the rise is being driven by forced short liquidations rather than active spot buying. The price is above MA5 (0.058974) and MA20 (0.057191), with the short- and medium-term moving averages in a bullish alignment. However, RSI is only 56.4 and has not entered o
