Bitcoin Risk-Off: CPI Shock & Liquidity Hunt to 80K

Wait 5 sec.

Bitcoin Risk-Off: CPI Shock & Liquidity Hunt to 80KBitcoin / TetherUSBINANCE:BTCUSDTAndyMorganBTCUSD structure is officially broken after today's hot US CPI print, shifting the macro regime into aggressive risk-off territory. The liquidity hunt above 84,100 was a textbook deviation, trapping late buyers before the market rapidly repriced Fed rate expectations. Macro Context & Expectations Institutional capital is fleeing to the dollar. Equities are bleeding, and the correlation puts crypto firmly in the crosshairs. Thursday's US Retail Sales and PPI at 8:30 EST (12:30 UTC) will create severe chop. Expect aggressive stop-runs in both directions. Friday's critical macro events (including Fed Chair Warsh speaking) will likely deliver the final blow to the Nasdaq, pushing risk assets lower. Trade Plan & Key Levels Do not try to catch the falling knife. The market is in a "sell the rip" regime until deep liquidity is tapped. Invalidation / Resistance: Any micro-bounces toward the 82,400 - 82,700 VWAP breakdown zone are structural short entries. Target / Demand: We expect the current bleed to accelerate into the 79,600 - 80,100 block. Price will likely chop heavily here on Thursday, but the prevailing downside momentum heading into Friday suggests this floor will ultimately be tested to its absolute limit. Wait for limit order absorption and delta divergence at the lows before even considering longs. Not financial advice. Trade at your own risk. — Andy Morgan
