Crash at the New York Stock Exchange! The ICP inflation index at its highest plunges Wall Street, erasing 470 billion dollars of stocks. Between the fall of Google and the unexpected reaction of Bitcoin, it's a day of crisis on the markets.
Bitcoin briefly regained 81000 dollars after the US PCE inflation release, in line with expectations. Behind this limited rebound, historical data show that this indicator rarely gives a lasting direction to the crypto market.
The weakness of American consumers would normally have strengthened expectations of rate cuts and supported bitcoin. But the simultaneous rise in inflation expectations creates a less favorable scenario: a fragile economy without rapid monetary easing.
Bitcoin approaches a decisive threshold as markets await new American inflation indicators. After several positive sessions, inflows into spot ETFs have sharply slowed, reducing support for prices. On Friday, PMI indices and household inflation forecasts could change investor expectations before the next Federal Reserve meeting. Maintaining the 80,000 dollar level will therefore also depend on these economic signals.
Can bitcoin reach 100000 dollars before the end of 2026? Bitwise considers this scenario still possible thanks to institutional demand, while LO forecasts a price between 85000 and 95000 dollars in the face of the return of inflation and rate hike risks.
Bitcoin falls below 83,000 dollars this Wednesday, October 14, following a higher-than-expected U.S. inflation release. The CPI reaches 3.7% year-on-year in September, versus 3.6% expected. Core inflation also rises to 2.6%. Investors now fear further interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, while the crypto market is already struggling to regain momentum.
Bitcoin approaches October with a particularly busy macroeconomic calendar in the United States. The Federal Reserve minutes, inflation figures, consumption, the rate decision, and growth data could change monetary expectations and cause strong fluctuations in the crypto market.
Inflation in France reached 3% year-on-year in September 2026, compared to 2.4% in August, according to the provisional estimate from Insee. This acceleration, the strongest since February 2024, is mainly due to energy and fresh products, although prices fell by 0.3% compared to the previous month.
Bitcoin is about to sign its best third quarter since 2017, with a gain of more than 42% since early July. However, the return of the price below 83,000 dollars weakens this performance before the release of decisive US data.
After the release of US inflation data, crypto liquidations reached 562 million dollars. Bitcoin dropped to 76651 dollars, while long positions bore most of the losses.
Over the past week, about 5.23 million BTC have been held by bitcoin whales. Their waiting precedes many decisions capable of moving the price out of its range between 77500 and 80000 dollars.
Kevin Warsh believes that artificial intelligence is likely to permanently change the growth potential of the United States. In his first speech at Jackson Hole as Federal Reserve chairman, he described the current period as a "turning point in history." However, he admits that the Fed still does not know when productivity gains will appear, how employment will progress, and which companies will capture the created value. These questions therefore do not yet influence rate decisions.
The release of US inflation data on August 12 did not provide markets with the much-expected positive signal. Indeed, there is a slowdown in price increases, not forgetting the Fed's reservations about the economic trajectory. Bitcoin investors hesitate to adopt an aggressive accumulation policy. The crypto market thus remains dependent on upcoming economic data and, above all, on how the Federal Reserve chooses to interpret them.
Financial markets are hitting record highs, gold regains its safe haven status, but bitcoin remains stuck below $65,000. This inertia contrasts with the euphoria seen in traditional assets and fuels investors' questions. Indeed, the return of stagflation fears in the United States, persistent tensions in the Middle East, and a more uncertain macroeconomic environment blur the benchmarks. Why does the leading crypto remain aside while other markets advance? This divergence could signal a turning point for the market.
The constant interaction between traditional macroeconomics and the crypto market has just passed a new decisive milestone on an international scale. While the US Federal Reserve (Fed) has maintained a strict monetary policy for months, the release of the latest economic indicators has shaken all investors' certainties. On Tuesday, July 14, at the opening of the Wall Street session, the price of the leading crypto recorded an upward impulse, once again crossing the major psychological resistance of $64,000. This responsiveness reveals the persistent dependence of assets on US macroeconomic data, particularly inflation trends.
Kiyosaki has been predicting the end of the financial world for fifty years, but this time he says it's the real one. His miracle cure? Gold, silver, oil, and bitcoin.
The price of bitcoin climbs nearly 7% in a week, driven by inflation expectations in the United States. All the figures here.
Markets did not wait long to react. Faced with weaker US economic indicators, investors immediately strengthened their positions on gold, reigniting the rise of the precious metal. Behind this movement is a major shift in perspective: expectations around the Federal Reserve’s upcoming decisions are evolving, weakening the dollar and reshuffling the deck for all financial assets. From precious metals to cryptos, this new reading of the American economic landscape could redefine investors’ strategies in the weeks ahead.
This Wednesday, June 17, a macroeconomic turning point occurred, symbolized by the capitulation of gold which lost more than 40 dollars an ounce, and by the drop of bitcoin below the threshold of 65,500 dollars. This reaction follows the Fed's forecasts, whose restrictive tone surprised investors who hoped for easing.
Financial markets beat to the rhythm of an indicator whose slightest variation can upset investors' forecasts. While many observers were betting on a continued decline in US inflation in 2026, the latest data published in the United States leads to think the opposite. The return of a significant price increase calls into question several economic scenarios that still seemed credible a few weeks ago.
While Trump plays the tough guy, BlackRock senses trouble. Oil, inflation, bitcoin: the trilogy that can blow everything up.
The American job market continues to defy predictions. While investors look for the slightest clue on the next trajectory of Federal Reserve rates, the May employment report reinforced the idea of an economy still solid. A reading shared by Beth Hammack, president of the Cleveland Fed, who judges the labor market to be overall balanced and estimates that the economy remains near full employment. Such statements could weigh on monetary expectations for the coming months.
The US Federal Reserve opens a new chapter at a time when markets doubt the trajectory of rates and the strength of the dollar. Kevin Warsh has officially taken the helm of the Fed after unanimous support from the FOMC, a nomination already scrutinized far beyond Wall Street. The former central bank governor has indeed distinguished himself with rare statements on bitcoin, which he considers an asset capable of becoming "a durable store of value, like gold."
American inflation accelerates again. In April, the price increase reached 3.8% year-on-year, its highest level in three years. The surge in energy costs, fueled by tensions around Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, is beginning to weigh on the American economy. This rise now complicates the outlook for Federal Reserve rate cuts and revives tensions in the financial markets.
Powell keeps rates frozen, markets sweat, and crypto slides quietly. Oil rises, inflation bites, and the Fed watches calmly while investors wonder who really controls the game now.
Bitcoin reaches 73,000 dollars amid a mixed macroeconomic context. The latest US inflation data signal a moderate price increase but mask a historic surge in energy costs. This gap fuels an uncertain market reading, between apparent stability and underlying tensions.
Bitcoin falls back below 66,000 dollars, driven by a shock from energy markets. The rise in oil revives inflationary tensions and reshuffles the cards of monetary expectations. This movement recalls a now well-established reality: cryptos evolve in close correlation with macroeconomic dynamics. In this context, investors adjust their exposure to a more uncertain environment.
Warsh likes Bitcoin, hates high rates, and frequents Stanford. Senators, meanwhile, like investigations and blockades. Trump is keeping his fingers crossed.
Bitcoin is going through a moment of truth. As American inflation slows significantly, the main argument supporting its legitimacy, that of a hedge against monetary erosion, falters. The latest consumer price figures reshuffle the cards and force investors to reconsider their exposure to BTC. Between macroeconomic improvement, persistent volatility, and strategic questions, bitcoin's value proposition enters a phase of redefinition.
The lady who manages billions says: AI will break everything, prices will collapse. Central bankers are in the dark. Her solution? Bitcoin, obviously.
