What we know

  • The figures: prices up 0.4% in October, the core rate up 0.3%. Shelter rose 0.3% and made up more than 30% of the rise, energy rose 0.7% after 5.2% in September.
  • On Hyperliquid, BTC fell from $74,337 at 13:29 UTC to $73,444 within the minute of the release, ether from $2,095.90 to $2,020.50.
  • Where the tracked whales stand in these markets right now (below, with the time of each number).

What we don’t know yet

  • Whether the Fed raises rates on 9 December, and by how much. CoinDesk reports a hike as all but assured, with Governor Waller saying even half a point could be appropriate.
  • The annual rate for October. The BLS cannot publish it, because the October 2025 data are missing.

    Market data

    On Hyperliquid, BTC trades at $74,337 at 13:29 UTC and at $73,444 in the minute of the release. Ether goes from $2,095.90 to $2,020.50, SOL from $84.65 to $82.58, HYPE from $73.58 to $72.54. At 14:29, BTC stands at $73,655.

Trade timing alone says nothing about what a trader knew. Many traders position before scheduled events. Times are when a move was first seen on Hyperliquid and when a report was first published.
