A drop in inflation figures, and here come the traders again. Bitcoin rejoices, ETPs swell. Who said the crypto market lived only on rumors?
The US Department of Labor will publish inflation data on Friday despite the government shutdown. An unusual decision five days before the Fed's crucial interest rate decision. Crypto investors are holding their breath.
The minutes of the Fed published on October 8 confirm an expected but delicate monetary shift. While the rate cut is now underway, the extent of the move by the end of the year still divides the committee. In a context of slowing employment, contained inflation, and government paralysis, this shift weighs heavily on market expectations. For crypto investors, sensitive to monetary policy signals, every Fed hesitation becomes a factor of volatility.
The PCE inflation figures for the month of August, published this Friday, September 27, confirm apparent stability, with progress as expected. A key indicator for the Federal Reserve, the PCE remains above the target, while American consumption continues to surprise with its strength. In a context of monetary tension, these data maintain uncertainty about the future trajectory of interest rates.
The Federal Reserve has made its decision, but without certainty. According to Jerome Powell, no interest rate adjustment will be without consequences. While several central banks have started a cycle of rate cuts, the Fed chairman warns of a strategic deadlock. In a context where inflation remains resilient and employment wavers, every decision becomes risky. A strong signal sent to the markets closely watching every word from the Fed as a decisive monetary turning point approaches.

Between hopes for a breakout and risks of correction, pressure is mounting around a threshold that has become strategic.
This Wednesday, the publication of a falling PPI for August immediately revived speculation around a Fed rate cut. Bitcoin gained 0.5% within the hour, driven by this signal perceived as favorable to monetary easing. Approaching the FOMC, investors now scrutinize every economic indicator, aware that the slightest variation can trigger a market repositioning.
The crypto market has just suffered one of its most significant setbacks of the year. In a few hours, bitcoin lost over $5,000, causing a widespread rout among other assets. Indeed, the release of a US Producer Price Index (PPI) well beyond expectations rekindles the specter of persistent inflation. This statistic, which surprises both Wall Street and the crypto ecosystem, upends monetary policy expectations and triggers a cascade of liquidations on leveraged positions, increasing downward pressure.
Trump draws a line under Bitcoin purchase by the United States. Bitcoiners will have to settle for legal seizures. A decision that causes crypto to plunge and leaves the economy in suspense.
American indices continued their rise, boosted by July inflation below forecasts. This macroeconomic signal propelled expectations of a Fed rate cut as early as September, now almost certain in investors' eyes.

This major transformation could disrupt the global economy, financial markets, and redefine the geopolitical order as we know it.
Prices are rising in the United States, and it’s not a coincidence. Since Donald Trump's return to the White House, his aggressive trade policy is starting to weigh on the economy. The tariffs he has imposed are impacting household wallets, driving inflation up faster than expected.

Despite some profit-taking, the bullish pressure remains strong. A new high awaits Bitcoin.
As the world enters a new zone of turbulence, with war in the Middle East, soaring energy prices, and monetary uncertainty, one anomaly persists: Bitcoin is not falling. It is rising. This is a striking paradox in a climate where traditional assets are wavering. Should this be seen as further proof of its transformation into a safe-haven asset? Or merely an illusion of stability fueled by market euphoria?
Crypto in free fall: Dogecoin is howling, Solana is wobbling, while Bitcoin is acting smug. A waltz of numbers and tweets... but who will laugh last?
The May US inflation shows a deceptive calm: +0.1% for the month, a figure below expectations that immediately boosted risky assets. However, behind this lull lies more enduring tensions, fueled by the renewed offensive of tariff hikes decided by the Trump administration. This seemingly reassuring figure conceals a more unstable reality, where weak signals of a coming inflation resurgence trigger doubts about the robustness of the current economic cycle.
For two years, Russia has been showing an economic growth of over 4%, a figure that could pale in comparison to many European economies. Yet, behind these seemingly solid indicators, the reality on the ground is quite different: high inflation, degraded consumption, persistent shortages. The country, largely transformed into a "war economy", seems to be reaching the limits of a model based on military spending and energy rents.

Trump promised miracles, Moody's delivers slaps: the American economy is sinking, the debt is exploding, and the rating falls. Budget magic or just an electoral sleight of hand?
Trump eases up (a bit) on customs tariffs: the economy breathes, analysts cough, and Beijing chuckles. 90 days of truce, or 90 days until the storm?
American inflation defied all doomsday predictions in April, falling to 2.3% despite the implementation of massive tariffs by the Trump administration. This unexpected decline raises a troubling question: what if analysts had exaggerated the impact of protectionist measures? Are fears of an inflationary spiral overstated?
