\n

Bitcoin tanked yesterday following the higher than expected US Core CPI,
\n but the minor changes in rate hike expectations and the dovish repricing
\n further out the curve, suggest the market might be starting to get more
\n concerned about the growth outlook. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting that stocks, copper, crypto, the US dollar and yields are
\n all trading lower today, while gold has regained all the losses. It feels more
\n like a stagflationary environment where risk assets and the US dollar generally
\n underperform, while gold outperforms. <\/p>\n

Looking ahead, we have the Flash PMIs, the FOMC, the US-Iran
\n negotiations and the US midterm elections as key catalysts. If the economic data
\n starts pointing to deteriorating economic conditions, then we could see the
\n market getting increasingly worried about growth. <\/p>\n

This would be negative for risk sentiment and could further weigh on Bitcoin
\n and the crypto market in general. What could change the picture completely would
\n be an end to the US-Iran war, as that would immediately improve the growth
\n outlook. <\/p>\n

BITCOIN TECHNICAL
\n ANALYSIS \u2013 DAILY TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the daily chart, we can
\n see that Bitcoin<\/a>has tested a couple of times
\n the support zone around the 80,000 level. The buyers will likely continue to
\n step in around the support, with a defined risk below it, to keep targeting a
\n rally into the 98,000 level. The sellers, on the other hand, will want to see
\n the price breaking lower to pile in for a drop into the 75,000 level next.<\/p>\n

BITCOIN TECHNICAL
\n ANALYSIS \u2013 4 HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the 4 hour chart, we have
\n a minor resistance around the 84,000 level. If we get a rebound from the
\n support, we can expect the sellers to step in around the resistance, with a
\n defined risk above it, to keep targeting a break below the support. The buyers,
\n on the other hand, will look for a break higher to increase the bullish bets
\n into the 87,400 level next.<\/p>\n

BITCOIN TECHNICAL
\n ANALYSIS \u2013 1 HOUR TIMEFRAME<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

On the 1 hour chart, we can
\n see the price broke below the minor support around the 83,000 level yesterday
\n after the US CPI release and extended the losses as more sellers piled in to
\n target the 80,000 support. There\u2019s not much we can add here, as the buyers will
\n likely continue to step in around the 80,000 support to target new highs, while
\n the sellers will look for a break to extend the drop into new lows. The red
\n lines define the average daily range<\/a> for today.<\/p>\n

UPCOMING CATALYSTS<\/p>\n

Today<\/a> we get the US PPI, the
\n US Retail Sales and the latest US Jobless Claims figures. We have also Fed
\n Chair Warsh speaking very late in the day in a fireside chat with IMF Managing
\n Director Georgieva. He\u2019s against forward guidance, so he\u2019s unlikely to give any
\n policy signal, but it\u2019s worth keeping an eye on it.<\/p>\n
