Huobi HTX Chief Analyst Cloud: The direction of Bitcoin awaits the determination of CPI, with the lower edge of $81,000 likely to be tested first

Bitcoin has retreated from around $86,000 at the beginning of October, fluctuating in the range of $81,000 to $84,000 in recent days, while the US dollar has strengthened and US Treasury yields remain high. Cloud, the chief analyst at Huobi HTX, believes that the likelihood of breaking down from the fluctuation range is greater.The ISM services price index rose to 74.0 in September, the highest since July 2022, and the one-year inflation expectation from the University of Michigan rose to 4.7% in October. The rise in price components and inflation expectations indicates that the probability of CPI exceeding expectations this Thursday is not low; if this materializes, the pricing for interest rate hikes at the end of the year will be further strengthened, and the lower bound of $81,000 will be tested first. Only if CPI is below expectations will the breakthrough of the upper bound of $84,000 have sustainability.The recent decline in chip stocks is mainly due to the repricing of AI capital expenditures and hardware profit expectations. The retracement of Bitcoin is smaller, indicating that its pricing is more aligned with macro liquidity, and its correlation with the AI narrative is weakening; however, this divergence is temporary. Once the US dollar and long-term interest rates regain dominance in pricing, the linkage will quickly strengthen, with the CPI announcement on Thursday evening serving as a recent testing window.

Ledger wallet's European supply chain suspected of contamination: two devices have been found to be implanted with spyware

Cryptocurrency community user Johannes posted that he found suspected spyware and hardware modifications, including additional cables and LTE modules, in two Ledger hardware wallets purchased at different stores of the European retailer MediaMarkt, and called for Ledger to immediately recall the related products.Johannes stated that MediaMarkt employees confirmed that the second device was not a returned item, as returned Ledger products would be sent directly back to the manufacturer rather than resold as new. Store records show that the relevant inventory came from the supplier Aqipa GmbH. Since the company operates distribution in Europe, Johannes suspects that the issue may involve a broader retail inventory, but there is currently no evidence to confirm that Ledger's supply chain has been widely compromised in Europe.Johannes mentioned that he has handed over the first device for analysis and plans to send the second device to Ledger for investigation, while also releasing an unboxing video as evidence. He reminded users that if they purchase devices from merchants outside of Ledger's official channels, they should check for any abnormalities in the devices. Currently, the above claims mainly come from this user's personal disclosure, and the reasons for the device damage, the scope of impact, and whether it involves a supply chain attack still need to be verified by Ledger and other relevant parties.
