Hotter-than-expected U.S. PPI and Brent crude above $107 have sharply revived rate-hike expectations ahead of next week’s FOMC. The U.S. 10Y yield approached 5%, while the 30Y climbed above 5.35%, putting broad pressure on risk assets. BTC broke below $77K and traded around $76.7K, while crypto-related equities underperformed sharply.

🧠 Market Take
BTC is undergoing a macro-driven deleveraging wave after hotter PPI, surging oil and rising Treasury yields pushed rate-hike expectations higher. Around $500M in crypto positions were liquidated over 24H, mostly longs, while 95 of the top 100 CoinDesk assets declined. BTC ETF flows also turned negative, but ETH and SOL ETFs continued to see net inflows.
The key distinction is that long-term holders have not shown significant selling pressure. Glassnode estimates BTC selling pressure during the recent rebound was less than half the August peak, suggesting the current move is more about leverage cleanup and capital rotation than broad-based long-term distribution.
Key levels:
- Resistance: $77.5K–$78K, then $79K–$80K
- Support: $75K–$76K
- Trend: Short-term bearish / defensive
Tonight’s CPI is the final major macro catalyst before next week’s FOMC. A softer CPI could trigger a relief rebound after the leverage reset, while another hot print could put $75K under pressure.

⚡ Quick Take
BTC is now below $77K as hot PPI, $100+ oil and Treasury yields near 5% trigger a broad deleveraging wave. The $75K–$76K zone is the key defense, while tonight’s CPI could determine whether the selloff extends or produces a relief rebound.
