Bitcoin started the week of November 9–15 at around $74,900. Ether was trading near $2,140, with both assets attempting to recover from their lowest levels since August, reached over the weekend. Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress in last week’s US midterm elections increased concerns that cryptocurrency rules could become stricter. The effects of the $6.3 billion attack on Binance also continue to weigh on risk appetite.US inflation will test Fed expectationsThe US Bureau of Labor Statistics will release October consumer inflation data on Tuesday, November 10, at 4:30 p.m. Türkiye time. Markets expect headline CPI to rise 0.3% month over month.Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, is forecast to increase 0.2%. The previous monthly readings were 0.6% for headline inflation and 0.3% for the core index.Last Friday’s report showed nonfarm payrolls increasing by 165,000, pushing the probability of a December rate increase to around 80%. A CPI reading above expectations could place additional pressure on Bitcoin through a stronger dollar and higher bond yields.October producer prices will arrive on Friday, November 13, at 4:30 p.m. Türkiye time.
