It seems the odds of treating the current $73,000 level as bottom support aren’t favorable.



The U.S. October inflation data released last night shattered the market’s optimistic outlook for inflation to cool.

CPI rose 0.4% month over month (vs. 0.3% expected), while core CPI rose 0.3% month over month (vs. 0.2% expected). Both readings came in above Wall Street’s estimates.

The data landed right on the warning threshold previously set by Fed Governor Waller: if core inflation reaches 0.3%, the option of discussing a 50-basis-point rate hike at the December meeting will be on the table.

After the data was released, the 10-year Treasury yield briefly surged to 4.996%.

Bitcoin dipped to around $72,700, and Ethereum touched $2,006. Within an hour of the release, about $178 million in long positions were liquidated across the market.

The Fear & Greed Index plunged from 57 a month ago to 30. Combined with three consecutive days of outflows from spot ETFs last week, buying support in the market is clearly under strain.

The funding rate isn't negative yet, and shorts haven't had their fill yet.

Fear index at 30? I’ll wait for 25.

Gas surged to 47. I’m sitting this one out—you guys have fun.

I've been watching those 2009 wallet addresses—they haven't moved at all, but these new data have me a bit confused. Do you think the market really believes the 0.3% warning threshold Waller mentioned, or is it just pretending to?

73k? My sheep are still grazing, no rush.

A 4.996% bond yield—this fire may be hard to put out. I’ll keep a water gun handy.

Which exchanges are included in this 178 million figure?

Bottom? Let's talk once the long-short ratio hits 0.6.
