Major cryptocurrencies fell across the board on the night of the 15th. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading around the $80,000 level, while major altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL) are also showing weakness. Attention is also focused on what impact the U.S. September Producer Price Index (PPI), released today, will have on the cryptocurrency market.

■ U.S. September PPI Rises 6.3%… Attention on Monetary Policy Outlook

With major cryptocurrencies declining together, market attention is focused on U.S. inflation indicators and the monetary policy outlook.

The U.S. September PPI, released tonight Korean time, rose 6.3% year-on-year. The core PPI, excluding food, energy, and trade services, also rose 5.0% year-on-year.

Earlier, the U.S. September Consumer Price Index (CPI), released on the 14th, rose 3.7% year-on-year, adding pressure to global financial markets. Attention is now on how the succession of inflation data will affect the U.S. Federal Reserve's (Fed) upcoming interest rate decisions.

In particular, as the cryptocurrency market can react sensitively to U.S. monetary policy expectations and changes in investor sentiment, interest is focused on market movements following this PPI release. Whether Bitcoin can hold the $80,000 level and further volatility in major altcoins are cited as key points of market attention.
