📊 US PPI (July 2025 – Released Aug 14)

+0.9% MoM — the biggest jump in 3 years.

Prices rose across both goods and services → signals broad, sticky inflation.

US CPI data isn’t out yet, but with PPI this high, a September Fed rate cut is almost off the table.

💡 Impact on Crypto:

High interest rates stay longer → liquidity remains tight → demand for Bitcoin and altcoins weakens.

Short-term sentiment: cautious → BTC more likely to trade sideways or tilt down.

Altseason probability is low because capital tends to flow into BTC or cash during tightening cycles.

Risk assets in general remain under pressure until US inflation cools again.
