In today’s newsletter:

  • This week’s inflation data will move crypto markets

  • BTC technical analysis

The Fed might hike on Tuesday (16/9). Most of crypto isn't positioned for it.

Our CEO has shared his near-term tactical positioning in our VIP telegram group (exclusive to members) ahead of this week’s inflation data releases.

Heading into Tuesday's FOMC, CME FedWatch now puts the odds of a rate hike at 60% — up from 44% a month ago. A cut? Effectively off the table.

That's not the setup anyone drew up for a Trump-appointed Fed chair. And it's the reason Bitcoin has been glued just below a key level ($82K) it's now failed at twice since May — caught between the debasement trade that carried it off its summer lows and a hawkish Fed that's quietly defending the dollar.

This week decides which force wins. PPI (Thu) and CPI (Fri) are the last data the Fed sees before it moves — and one hot oil-driven print could lock in the hike.

In this week's full report — exclusive to members — we break down:

  • 🎯 The exact BTC levels in play if the Fed hikes vs. holds — and where the real downside sits (hint: it's not a 2022 repeat)

  • 🔥 What could push Friday's CPI/PPI hot — and the one data point the doves are leaning on

  • ⚖️ The full case for and against a Warsh hike, and why this is the most mispriced FOMC of the year

  • 🪙 Why altcoins are set up to move harder than BTC in both directions

  • 💵 The dollar-debasement vs. dollar-defense tension — and the counter-intuitive outcome that's actually most bullish for Bitcoin

Positioning ahead of Tuesday (Sep 16 FOMC meeting) is the difference between reacting and front-running. Our subscribers already have the full breakdown, levels included.

BTC (Bitcoin) stuck at $83K resistance - this week’s inflation data will decide next direction

BTC (Bitcoin) stuck at $83K resistance - this week’s inflation data will decide next direction

After a bullish breakout from Channel Down pattern, BTC also broke above $70K and the 200-day Moving Average (200 SMA). That confirms onset of Uptrend.

Price is now approaching $83K resistance from May. It’s got rejected there a couple of times so far.

Will it break through or pull back to $65K-$70K support zone?

This weeks’ inflation data could decide which way it moves next.
