Bitcoin Tests $81,000 as Rate Hike Fears Linger After Hot Inflation Data
Bitcoin dipped below $81,000 on Thursday, extending its slide a day after U.S. consumer prices rose faster than expected and revived bets on another Federal Reserve rate hike.
The leading cryptocurrency is currently trading at $81,002, per CoinGecko data, down 2.7% over the past 24 hours and 2.5% over the past week, after slipping to an intraday low of $80,444.

When climate policy gets actors out there swearing, that shows this is no longer a technical debate—it’s about the bills. Banksy’s line went viral not because he’s an actor, but because things like power outages, wildfires, and people losing their homes are really happening. The Camp Fire in California killed 85 people and destroyed nearly 19,000 buildings. Who ends up paying that bill? If you think I’m talking nonsense, save this screenshot.

Inflation is basically another tax

The Magnificent Seven are propping up S&P earnings growth. The earnings data is still there, but this level of concentration is a risk in itself. Once the social media buzz cools, the crowded trade can quickly unwind. After doing this for so long, I’ve learned that position sizing is always more important than getting the direction right. What do you think?

+$7,000 added to my balance: Telegram gift.

Finally got lucky with Telegram gifts — fortune smiled on me:

> Resitanse Dog gift has caused a lot of buzz lately because of its rising price, beautiful designs, and crafting mechanic (you use 1 to 4 gifts to get a new gift).

So:
> in August 2025, I bought the gift for 5,000 Telegram Stars (~$75);
> in October 2026, I upgraded the gift for 1,000 Telegram Stars (~$15);
> result — I got a black-background gift; as it happens, black-background designs are the most valuable ones;
> I sold it for 5,476 $GRAM = ~$7,337.

$JCT I know exactly how I lost on this trade: I got in at 0.0023 and cut my losses at 0.0019, riding out the full -11.93% drop. I contributed to the panic selling in the 5.4M trading volume. Seeing the price near its 24h low, I thought I’d buy the dip, but ended up buying halfway down. I didn’t admit defeat and exit until it hit 0.0019. During the two days I held the position, my mindset went from “it’ll bounce any minute” to “just don’t let it go to zero.” There’s only one lesson: in a downtrend, it’s better to wait for the falling knife to settle than to try to catch it. 0.0019 is today’s lo

Everyone, $BERA , the price action is perfect, just as I predicted, and profits are already quite substantial……‼️……Now move the stop loss to the entry price and take partial profits to lock in gains……‼️

The most unusual detail in today’s market is that the Fear & Greed Index remains in the greed zone at 55, while $SOXLB plunged 8.58% in a single day. Its current price of 86.5 has fallen straight through the lower Bollinger Band at 90.4088, and its RSI has crashed to the deeply oversold level of 17.5. Broader market sentiment has not turned cold, but this asset has already been abandoned by investors—a classic case of outflows from an individual coin within a sector, rather than systemic risk. With BTC trading flat, this kind of divergence often means selling pressure is nearing its end.

$Bull is coming. This move dumped from 0.0653 to 0.0560. I chased the highs last time and took an 18% loss as tuition—I still remember it clearly. It’s now at 0.0570, down 12.29% in 24h, with 12.6M in trading volume. Volume hasn’t collapsed, which means buyers are stepping in. My plan: don’t chase at the current price; wait for a pullback to the 0.0560–0.0565 range and enter in batches, keeping my position to 30%. Set a stop-loss at 0.0540 (below the previous low); if it breaks, I’m out—no hesitation. First take-profit target: 0.0600; second: 0.0630. Sell half when it gets there. This coin is

Grinding sluggishly along the 7-day lower edge; the rebound is as limp as day-old noodles😏 Longs make up 74%, all crowded together; any position cuts on a drop mean stop-loss sellers lining up. A break below 2355 triggers a stampede—the shorts are closing in, countdown to the squeeze👀

$BTC and $ETH are dumping again.

Floki all time high hype ath go

I knew the market makers would drive it down with a wick, and sure enough, when it fell to 808, I opened a small long and made enough for porridge. I closed at 812.
That’s reassuring. I’m predicting a drop next week, though I’m not completely sure. I was waiting for this wick, and it was part of what I expected. Now that it’s happened, my prediction of a drop next week has a few more points in its favor!
I hope a big drop next week lets me make a little money on shorts too; otherwise, I won’t even be able to afford porridge!

$XRP is down 0.18%, but 1-hour trading participation is only 0.47x, making the move look somewhat weak. The current price is 1.3018 USDT, with 1-hour support at 1.288 and resistance at 1.3126. The direction is temporarily weak, but low participation casts doubt on the move's staying power. I’m more inclined to believe the price will continue testing support, but without a clear increase in trading volume, this decline could quickly lose momentum.
If 1.288 breaks and the price fails to reclaim it for some time, the current assessment will be invalidated.
The current price is already close to 1-
