Bitcoin - CPI print kills the hype
Güncellendi
Today's CPI print in the U.S. spooked the market, affecting Bitcoin, which dropped more than 4% within merely two minutes. The report of higher-than-expected inflation shattered market participants' last hopes for the FED pivot. Currently, the FED is expected to raise interest rates in the range between 75bps to 100bps during its September meeting. However, after this latest inflation print, there is a high likelihood of the FED proceeding with another significant rate hike in November.
These developments only add to the already bearish fundamentals that signal a rough road ahead for Bitcoin. With a slowing economy, higher servicing of debt, and other geopolitical burdens, we think cryptocurrencies will copy the stock market on its route to new lows.
The same view is also supported by technical factors and low volume, which point to the liquidity crisis rather than a trend change from bearish to bullish. Because of this conviction, we stick to our bearish outlook. Accordingly, our price targets are 17 500 USD and 15 000 USD.

Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI reversed and now points to the downside, which is very bearish. Stochastic also turned bearish. MACD started to flatten. DM+ and DM- produce whipsaws. The daily time frame quickly turned from neutral/slightly bullish to very bearish.
