Flip through the steps. Every number is live data; the source is in each section.
Prices rose 3.7% over the year against a Fed target of about 2%. And faster than a month earlier.
Rate futures: hold 82%, hike 18%, cut 0%. This is the market's estimate, not a Fed decision.
The world's key rate. The higher it is, the pricier money gets and the harsher risk assets are valued. Over 30 days: +2.7%.
The dollar index over 30 days: +1.8%. A strong dollar usually weighs on BTC, gold and other currencies.
This is how BTC and gold moved over 30 days. There are always several causes: see the factor balance on each asset page.
Over 24 hours +0.97%, over a week +0.11%. Now let us see how much leverage sits in this move.
A normal level: the crowd is not lopsided.
That much leveraged positioning was force-closed. Longs: 52%. Buyers got hit harder.
Fear and greed index: greed. Yesterday: 53.
Oil on the day −1.19%, over 30 days +4.5%. Oil feeds inflation, and so the Fed rate.
Near deliveries cost more than later ones: oil is needed now and the market sees tightness.
Week on week −8.6M. Rising stocks usually weigh on price, falling stocks support it.
That much oil passed through the strait on average in 2024 (EIA). Bypass pipelines can carry only about 2.6M, so any threat here shows up in the price at once.
