The dollar index fell 15 basis points to 101.05.
That is a modest move, and the level is the more informative number. The index traded in the 98 and 99 handles through mid-September, so 101.05 represents meaningful dollar strength accumulated since.
A stronger dollar makes dollar-priced commodities more expensive for holders of other currencies, which has been part of the pressure on gold through the month. A 15 basis point decline does not reverse that.

Bitcoin and gold moving together is a change from most of September.
The two assets' correlation collapsed to 0.28 from 0.69 over 30 days, and they repeatedly diverged — Bitcoin holding above $83,000 on September 28 while gold fell to $4,144.
Gold carries roughly twice Bitcoin's sensitivity to the 10-year Treasury yield, at −0.41 against −0.17, which is why rate-driven sessions separate them.
A session where both rise on a softer inflation print is one where the rate channel is moving in the direction that helps both. It does not indicate the correlation has been restored.$BTC ‌$ETH ‌#OneGat

"Ethereum has crossed the 2,700 USDT benchmark and is now trading at 2,706.72998 USDT, with a narrowed narrowed 1.20% decrease in 24 hours." means that, at the time of the post, ETH’s price had risen above the 2,700 USDT level and was quoted at 2,706.72998 USDT per ETH.
 
Despite being above that benchmark, ETH was still down 1.20% compared with its price 24 hours earlier. The repeated word “narrowed” appears to be a writing error; it likely means the 24-hour decline had become smaller than it was previously. This describes a short-term price update, not a prediction of where ETH will move nex

Michael Saylor said Bitcoin treasury rivals such as Strive are allies, even though they compete with Strategy for investors. According to NS3AI, he argued that these companies can benefit one another by increasing Bitcoin demand and strengthening investor confidence in their credit products and business models.
Saylor cited SIFMA data showing that global equity markets reached $157.8 trillion and global fixed-income debt reached $160.7 trillion by the end of 2025. He said Bitcoin treasury companies should focus on gaining a share of those markets rather than competing with each other.$BTC ‌$S

Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Ethena token $ENA ‌ and expects the token to reach $2 by the end of 2028. According to Odaily, the bank said Ethena sits at the intersection of perpetual contracts, tokenization, and stablecoins, and that ENA may benefit from growth in those areas and a newly launched buyback plan.
The bank said Ethena is currently the fourth-largest stablecoin issuer after Tether, Circle, and Sky, and the second-largest interest-bearing stablecoin issuer after Sky. It also said USDe is the fastest stablecoin to reach a market value of $10 billion.#CorePCEandGDPFin

"ETH rose above 2,700 USDT and was last reported at 2,700.9 USDT. According to Odaily, its 24-hour decline narrowed to 1.33%." means that Ethereum’s price recovered enough to move back above the 2,700 USDT level, with the latest quoted price at 2,700.9 USDT per ETH. However, ETH was still lower than it had been 24 hours earlier—by 1.33%—though that loss had become smaller, suggesting some short-term recovery after earlier weakness.$ETH ‌#CorePCEandGDPFinalReading #AnthropicDiscloses$84.5BComputeDealWithSpaceX #ETHEarningsUpTo5%BonusAPR

Bitcoin and XRP gave back Wednesday's early gains after a cooler-than-expected inflation reading was offset by rising oil prices. According to NS3AI, core PCE prices rose 0.2% in August, below the 0.3% forecast, while Brent crude climbed 3% on the day.
Stronger-than-forecast economic growth and consumer spending also complicated the outlook for interest rates. Bitcoin settled near $84,000, and $XRP ‌ traded near $1.50 after their initial gains faded.$BTC ‌#MarvellJumps4.5%

The Demand Metric Got Worse While Price Rose
CryptoQuant estimates Bitcoin's spot demand has shrunk by about 170,000 BTC over the past 30 days. Growth in futures demand has dropped 90% since September 14.
That is the figure worth sitting with. On September 11 the same metric read −145,000 BTC. Bitcoin then rallied from roughly $76,000 to $87,300, and the measure deteriorated by a further 25,000 BTC.$BTC ‌$ETH ‌#MarvellJumps4.5%
