BlockBeats data: The latest reading of the ETH DVOL index is 51.69 points.

According to data from Biji.com, a whale institution completed the liquidation of 52,000 ETH through Galaxy Digital OTC. The institution bought 52,000 ETH at an average price of $2,161 from July to September and has sold them at an average price of $2,632 since late September, ultimately earning a profit of $24.49 million.

Tomorrow at 20:30 (Beijing time), the U.S. September CPI will be released—the last major inflation reading before the 10/27-28 rate meeting. The previous readings were 3.4% headline and 2.4% core; consensus expects headline CPI to rise to around 3.6%, mainly due to sharp increases in September energy and gasoline prices. This “hot headline” is likely already priced in; what will truly determine the direction is whether core CPI can hold at 2.4~2.5%. The market has already started moving: $BTC 83,454, up 2.28% over 24h, while $ETH +3.06% returned to 2,507, with the Fear & Greed Index at 62, in “Greed” territory. But based on daily-chart readings, BTC’s annualized volatility over the past 30 days is 38.8%, with a range of 75,644~86,620; despite a cumulative gain of +6.7%, it has never broken out of the range—before the data, capital is only willing to trade the range. The combination of a hot headline and cool core is most likely to produce an intraday “false drop, then recovery” scenario; those using full leverage are betting on one direction, while the market is offering two. Will you reduce your position before the data, or keep it open and wait for core CPI? #CPI #U.S.SeptemberCPIAboutToBeReleased
