Inflation has poured cold water on rate-cut expectations
The biggest fear in trading is having already positioned for easing while the data moves in the opposite direction.
U.S. September PPI rose 1.3% month-on-month, while core PPI rose 0.7%. Prices at the production level clearly heated up, and even the reading excluding food and energy was not low. It is hard to simply attribute this rise to fluctuations in oil prices.
But there is an important distinction: a rise in PPI does not mean that CPI will rise by the same amount in the next release. Companies may absorb part of the costs themselve

#MetaplanetPlans52BillionYenZeroCouponConvertibleBonds
Metaplanet’s next major move is not about buying more Bitcoin. It is about strengthening the financial structure behind the Bitcoin it already owns.
The company plans to issue ¥52 billion in zero-coupon, euro-yen-denominated convertible bonds, equivalent to approximately $329 million. The proposed issuance is scheduled for October 29, 2026, with maturity on October 29, 2031.
According to the reported plan, approximately ¥51.9 billion of the proceeds will go toward repaying Bitcoin-backed debt and funding a substantial share buyback. That

Gold’s “Credit Pricing” Revolution—Why Safe-Haven Funds Did Not Choose Bitcoin
As gold continues to hit record highs while Bitcoin struggles at $80,000, we need to rethink the definition of a “safe-haven asset.”
Gold has performed strongly recently, driven mainly by rising global safe-haven demand and the continued decline in the credibility of the U.S. dollar. The pricing logic of the gold market is shifting from “inflation hedging” to “credit hedging.”
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is under pressure near $80,000. Despite sharing the same “inflation hedging” narrative, gold and Bitcoin have followed sha

#BTCBreaksBelow82K
BTC BELOW $82,000: WILL $81K HOLD OR WILL BITCOIN FALL TOWARD $80K? 📉
Bitcoin’s next move could decide whether this correction becomes a buying opportunity or develops into another leg lower. My view is simple: I am not buying just because BTC has fallen. I want to see buyers defend support, selling pressure weaken, and price reclaim important levels first.
The September US CPI report has added another challenge for risk assets. Bitcoin is trading around $81,000–$82,000, while traders are watching whether the market can stabilise after the breakdown below $82,000.

The Fed in the Warsh Era—Reconstructing the Policy Logic from Powell to Warsh
As the Fed chairmanship passes from Powell to Warsh, the underlying logic of inflation management is being rewritten.
The U.S. Senate formally confirmed Kevin Warsh to succeed Powell as the next Fed chair by a vote of 54 in favor and 45 against, for a four-year term. This vote, divided almost entirely along party lines, marked the smallest affirmative margin in a Fed chair confirmation.

At a press conference on April 29, Powell announced that after his term

The real descent into hell may be coming
September’s CPI and PPI both came in well above expectations, while core inflation also heated up again. The rebound the market had expected after the bearish news was priced in never materialized.
The biggest concern now isn’t how much $BTC has already fallen, but that this downturn may not be over yet.
If $80,000 fails to hold, the market will likely retest $76,000 next.
The crypto market isn’t in a rush to buy the dip for now. Global stock markets are still falling, and $BTC may have a hard time staying out of the fray in the short term. #美国9月CPI超预

Bitcoin just pulled a reverse fakeout, quietly dipping below $80,000 before quickly recovering—a classic way to flush leverage in a bull market🔥
According to Coinglass data, $91.65 million was liquidated across the market over the past hour. $BTC accounted for $40.45 million, while ETH liquidations followed at $13.39 million. The overwhelming majority were long positions getting swept out, while short liquidations were minimal. Put simply, this was specifically aimed at clearing out leveraged funds chasing the rally at high levels.
On the macro side, the PPI data came in stronger than expect
