Crypto and stock financial markets are feeling the discomfort following the Sept. 13 inflation report printed an suddenly hot figure that demonstrated headline inflation rising by .1% month-over-month.
Despite gas prices falling to multi-month lows along with a cooling housing industry, core inflation saw a .6% month-over-month bump and year-to-year inflation sits at 8.3%.
This chart from @TheTerminal shows why this #CPI number is really disappointing. The contribution of one’s has declined, not surprisingly but services inflation has become rising dramatically. Not exactly what the #FOMC may have desired to see. pic.twitter.com/BsfwFsuyD5

While market participants and investors had believed the following Fed interest hike to become a hefty .75 basis points, many also enrolled in a loosely held assumption that Sept. 13’s CPI report will come in softer than forecasted.
Since market had supposedly “priced in” a .75 bps hike, crypto traders expected Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and choose altcoins to interrupt to the upside.
Well, clearly the entire opposite happened.
Perma-bull Given pivot CPI traders REKT. LOL

The Dow jones slid a couple of.6%, as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell 2.9% and three.6%, correspondingly. Naturally, dangerous assets also fell and Bitcoin cost threw in the towel greater than 50% of their recent weekend gains having a 9% pullback to $20,350. With only one day left prior to the Merge, Ether cost also retracted 7.29% to $1,590, many cryptocurrencies within the best players are nursing single to double-digit losses right now.
While Bitcoin’s weekend rally from Sept. 9 extended into the beginning of now and also the cost pressed up to $22,800, the earlier analysis cautioned that BTC seemed to be buying and selling near a vital overhead resistance.
As seen below, the multi-month resistance from BTC’s all-time high held as cost crumbled at $22,400 once the market opened up and also the monthly CPI data hit media outlets. Case study also highlighted the “successive bear flag continuation” trend that’s been in play since Bitcoin cost capped out at $69,000 on November. 10, 2021.
Barring an very bullish Merge event, probably the most likely direction for Bitcoin remains towards the downside.
An optimistic indicate note is, that despite Sept. 13’s correction, Bitcoin cost is constantly on the chop about in the 90-day range (pink box) between $25,400 and $17,600. From my standpoint, there’s “nothing to determine here” before the cost breaks below $18,500 or even the yearly low at $17,600.
