Welcome to the Asia Pacific Morning letter – your essential digest of overnight Crypto developments that form regional markets and a worldwide sentiment. Monday’s edition was the completion of last week and this week’s prediction, offered by Paul Kim. Grab a green tea and view this space.
The cryptomarkt finally saw a considerable momentum last week. The price of Bitcoin had risen by 4.78%from Sunday at 4 p.m. UTC. Altcoins rose even higher, with ETH ($ 4,614.31) climbing up 7.72% and SOL ($ 241.77) shot up by 22.65%.
Rising speed reduction hopes Rally
The primary engine behind the recent increase in crypto and other risk assets is a growing anticipation of the reduction of the American interest rate. This expectation was intensified after the figures from Augustus US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) were released on 5 September.
After that report, markets priced in a 0.75 percentage point reduced by the end of 2025 and 1.5 percentage points by September of the following year.
However, the Federal Reserve has hesitated to unilaterally reduce the rates, because consumer inflation remains stubborn and stable with around 3% – nous provision above its target.
The recent increase in the market was mainly activated by encouraging inflation data. On Wednesday it was announced that the US producer Progress Price Index (PPI) from Augustus has fallen by 0.1% month-over-month, which is short of the expected increase of 0.3%. This meant the first decrease in producer prices in four months.
A further consideration of the data revealed a remarkable detail: the profit margins for companies in wholesale and retail trade fell, in particular for machines and vehicles. This suggests that companies absorb some of the costs instead of fully passing them on to consumers. Experts interpreted this as a sign that the inflatoid pressure relaxes more than expected.
The US August Consumer Price Index (CPI) met the market expectations on Thursday. While the Opt trend was held in inflation, the market was relieved that the pace was not accelerated. In response to this, Bitcoin’s price recovered for the first time in two weeks to $ 115,000.
Ethereum and Solana find their own momentum
The price of Ethereum was initially faint at the beginning of last week, but by Tuesday, capital in the spot ETF market is positive, albeit somewhat.
The real increase started after the CPI report on Thursday, with ETH climbing of more than 8% in just two days. On Friday alone, more than $ 400 million flowed on the spot ETF market and returned a two-week malaise.
Solana, who had difficulty breaking the $ 210 level for months, gathered for eight consecutive days. This strong momentum was clear in both the futures and the spot markets.
The fact that Futures open interest $ 8.1 billion surpassed, even before the CPI data was released, underlines the strength of the momentum. The Rally has also revived the Solana Ecosystem, with its total value locked (TVL) that surpassed $ 13 billion in the midst of the rising Defi use.
The coming week: The words of Powell are the key
After a strong meeting at the weekend, Bitcoin withdrew a little to the level of $ 115,000 and started a period of consolidation. Other large coins such as ETH, SOL and Avax ($ 29.74) also experience small price corrections.
The most critical event of this week is the outcome of the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on Wednesday at 6:00 PM UTC. A 0.25 percentage point reduction seems almost certain. However, the key will be fed the press conference of chairman Powell. If he signals a willingness for future rate reductions, Bitcoin could see further profit.
Other important data releases include American retail sales figures on Tuesday. If these figures are too low, the concerns about an economic delay could grow, which would probably have a negative influence on the risk assets. Here is the hope that investors have a profitable week.
