U.S. wholesale inflation accelerated to 6.3% in September 2026, reigniting concerns about persistent price pressures. The hotter-than-hoped reading coincided with a 0.6% slide in Bitcoin and a 0.8% drop in Ether, as markets weighed what the figures mean for Federal Reserve rate expectations. Traders remain divided on whether the central bank will keep tightening or hold steady.
Why now: The inflation print directly affects expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, which move both traditional and crypto markets.
