Good morning on October 15! Bitcoin broke above 84000 yesterday, reaching 84116, before running out of fuel and failing to sustain the rise, continuing to decline to 81400 this morning, perfectly matching the short at 83500-84000 we gave yesterday. Thursday morning Short around 81800-82300, targeting around 81000-80100. Short around 2435-2460, targeting around 2390-2350. $BTC $ETH

10.15 Thursday BTC Morning Outlook Yesterday during the daytime session, BTC fluctuated within the 83000-84000 range as the market awaited the CPI data. In the evening, the CPI inflation data came in worse than expected, weighing on the market. U.S. stocks opened lower, and prices came under pressure and fell. News of a large transfer by BlackRock then emerged, further amplifying market panic. Looking at today's trend: The broader macro bearish backdrop remains in place, and overall movement today is expected to be weak and range-bound. The area around 83000 above is strong resistance, and any rebound is likely just a brief pullback during the decline; focus on the key support at 81000. Once it breaks decisively, the downside for bears will open further. 1-hour MACD: The bearish green bars remain, and bearish momentum has not been fully released; the balance of power favors the bears; KDJ: Moving downward after a death cross at high levels, with the J value in the relatively low range. There is a small chance of a minor short-term oversold rebound, but this is only a technical pullback, not a reversal. Suggestion: Go long on a pullback to 810-805, target 830-845; if it breaks, target 860 $BTC $ETH $SOL #美国9月CPI超预期

#美国9月CPI即将公布 U.S. SEPTEMBER CPI: INFLATION SURPRISE, FED PRESSURE, AND WHAT COMES NEXT FOR CRYPTO The U.S. September Consumer Price Index (CPI) has delivered a stronger inflation reading than markets expected. Instead of easing, inflation accelerated, raising fresh questions about the Federal Reserve’s next move and the direction of Bitcoin, Ethereum, stocks, gold, and the U.S. dollar. For me, this is more than another economic headline. It is a reminder that one major economic release can change market expectations within minutes, especially when traders are already sensitive to interest rates and liquidity. 1. The Numbers Behind the CPI Surprise According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, September CPI increased by 3.7% year over year, compared with 3.4% in August. Monthly inflation rose 0.6%, accelerating from August’s 0.4% increase. The annual result also exceeded the market forecast of approximately 3.6%. The most important figures are: • Headline CPI: 3.7% year over year • Previous headline CPI: 3.4% • Monthly CPI: +0.6% • Previous monthly CPI: +0.4% • Forecast for annual CPI: approximately 3.6% • Core CPI: 2.6% year over year These numbers suggest that inflationary pressure remains persistent. The key question is whether the increase is concentrated in energy prices or becoming more widespread across the economy. 2. Why Energy Prices Matter Gasoline prices increased 9.1% in September, while the broader energy index climbed 5.2%. Gasoline alone accounted for more than half of the monthly increase in headline CPI. This is important because higher fuel costs can eventually affect transportation, production, shipping, and consumer prices. If these pressures continue, businesses may find it harder to absorb rising costs. However, headline inflation does not tell the entire story. Core CPI excludes food and energy, helping investors assess underlying price pressure. September core inflation increased 2.6% annually, so traders must examine both headline and core figures before drawing conclusions. Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 3. What Does This Mean for the Federal Reserve? Higher inflation can make it more difficult for the Federal Reserve to justify easing monetary policy. If policymakers believe inflation is becoming persistent, interest rates may need to remain restrictive for longer, or further tightening could become a possibility. Higher yields can support the U.S. dollar while increasing borrowing costs and putting pressure on risk-sensitive assets. On the other hand, if the energy-driven increase proves temporary and underlying inflation stabilizes, the market could eventually regain confidence in a less restrictive policy outlook. My view is that traders should focus on the direction of inflation, its underlying components, and the Fed’s response rather than reacting to a single headline. 4. Bitcoin and Ethereum: What Should Traders Watch? Bitcoin and Ethereum may experience increased volatility when inflation changes expectations for interest rates and liquidity. If inflation remains elevated, rising Treasury yields and a stronger dollar could create short-term headwinds for crypto. Buyers may become cautious, and leveraged positions could face liquidation during sudden price movements. If inflation begins to cool in subsequent reports, expectations for easier monetary conditions could improve sentiment toward Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other risk assets. Nevertheless, these relationships are not guaranteed. Crypto markets also respond to institutional flows, derivatives positioning, liquidity, technical levels, and broader market sentiment. I would watch whether Bitcoin holds its important support zones and whether Ethereum can maintain its recent structure before considering a directional move. Confirmation matters more than predictions. 5. Three Scenarios I Am Watching Scenario A — Inflation stays elevated: Markets may price in tighter monetary conditions for longer. The dollar and Treasury yields could remain supported, while crypto faces additional volatility. Scenario B — Inflation starts cooling: A sustained decline in inflation could improve expectations for monetary easing and potentially support risk assets. Scenario C — Mixed economic signals: Headline inflation could remain high while core inflation moderates. In this situation, markets may move in both directions as investors reassess the details. None of these scenarios guarantees a particular market outcome. 6. My Personal Trading Strategy I prefer patience over chasing sudden price movements. After a major economic release, I would watch the initial reaction, wait for the market to establish direction, and look for confirmation around important support and resistance levels. I would avoid entering a trade simply because Bitcoin rises or falls sharply in the first few minutes. False breakouts, liquidity sweeps, and rapid reversals can create unnecessary losses. My priorities are straightforward: protect capital, use sensible stop-loss levels, avoid excessive leverage, and keep risk around 1–2% per trade according to my risk plan. Final Thoughts The September CPI report shows that the inflation challenge is not over. With annual CPI reaching 3.7% and energy costs contributing significantly to the monthly increase, the Federal Reserve and financial markets still face important decisions. For crypto traders, the opportunity is not to predict every candle. It is to understand the macroeconomic picture, identify important price levels, and act only when the market provides sufficient confirmation. In my opinion, discipline will matter more than excitement in the sessions ahead. The best trade is not always the fastest trade; sometimes, waiting is the smartest decision. What is your view? Will persistent U.S. inflation put more pressure on Bitcoin and Ethereum, or can crypto remain resilient despite tighter financial conditions? #ShareWeekly #每周来晒 [@Gate_Square](gt://mention/g1UZydKt-c9b1A62Hq) #USSeptemberCPITopsEstimates
