BTC | Weak Consumption, Sticky Inflation July U.S. retail sales fell 0.6% MoM, far below the +0.1% expected. August consumer sentiment also dropped to 51.0, while inflation expectations climbed to 4.3%. The market is getting two opposite signals: • Weaker consumption → less pressure for further rate hikes, mildly bullish for BTC • Higher inflation expectations → rates may stay elevated for longer, creating medium-term pressure BTC Levels to Watch: $63,000 remains a key long-liquidation zone. A high-volume break below $62,500 could trigger another wave of forced selling. Risk management matters here. Reduce exposure around $63K, keep the remaining position protected below $62.5K, and only consider adding back if BTC shows strong volume-backed support around $62.8K–$63K. Weak demand is short-term supportive. Sticky inflation is the bigger medium-term risk. The trend may not have changed — but the rhythm has. $BTC $ETH $SNDK
