U.S. core PCE came in as expected (MoM 0.3%, YoY 2.9%), leaving Fed stance and rate path largely unchanged. As a result, market reaction was muted. However, previously announced high tariffs remain a one-off inflationary risk and a drag on growth, keeping overall sentiment cautious with risk assets under pressure and inflation-hedge demand coexisting.
In crypto, BTC is holding around 109k. On the upside, 111k marks a cluster of long stop-losses, creating near-term resistance and potential for stop-run volatility. On the downside, 108k is a key liquidity support — a breakdown could trigger a sharp flush and rebalancing. Stronger resistance remains at 116k, which would require substantial inflows and volume to break.
Bitunix Analyst Advice: With PCE in line and limited impact, focus shifts back to tariff risk. Traders should keep leverage tight, scale in gradually, and verify breakouts with capital flows. BTC key levels: 108k support, 111k resistance. Strict stop-loss and phased entries remain essential.
