Wintermute chooses the safest asset between Bitcoin , Ethereum or Ripple.

U.S. inflation hit the Nasdaq, but Bitcoin held steady at [19] USD as investors raised altcoin ahead of Wednesday's meeting

The crypto market entered clarity hold mode in the 42nd week after U.S. inflation figures accelerated to [20] trading momentum on Nasdaq technology index [21] while Bitcoin remained mainstream in the region.[22] According to Wintermute's Cross-Asset Performance Week 42 datasheet, major cryptocurrency market watchdogs set a red line of Bitcoin at this level and warned that current narrow price forces may not survive through the US monetary policy meeting, midterm elections, and performance reporting season.

U.S. inflation became a cross-asset oscillator.

The general inflation figure at 3.7% and the monthly rise 0.3% of the underlying index indicate that adjusted energy prices are beginning to affect underlying inflation, causing cash flows into safe assets such as Brent crude oil at +5.00% and U.S. government bonds at +.2.65% The return of corporate-level ratios has resulted in an immediate weakening of digital assets.

The Bitcoin also defended the dollar line, although there was a cash outflow.

In this context, Bitcoin fell 1.99% and was squeezed into a near-frame 82,500 dollar which turned the original resistance line into the main defense. Throughout the past week, buyers have been under pressure from short-term breakouts to 80,400 dollars caused by net cash outflows from the spot ETF of $679 million while maintaining significant territory.

Wintermute noted that Bitcoin is leading the Nasdaq3.5 by a point, which reflects that it remains more resilient than the overall capital picture would indicate and now serves as the market's primary hedge asset. A breakout to the north87,000 will open the way for the dollar to rebound back to its original high level while a breakthrough82,500 could clearly take the market back into testing the lower zone of 70,000 the dollar.

altcoin is out of the box. The market's expecting a lead from Bitcoin .

Although Bitcoin is still intact, the side of altcoin has been experiencing a shortage with alternative asset classes declining.5.69% Throughout the week, Wintermute's trading room noted that money flows in altcoins started to be one-way except for larger higher quality altcoin groups and cash outflows from these assets jumped into Bitcoin , with Ethereum falling 7.0% throughout the week.

The conclusion of the market is quite clear that Bitcoin must move up before altcoin can return to mainstream, so it should not be expected an independent growth of alternative assets including XRP At this point Wintermute sees a more attractive risk-return in core assets compared with altcoins and the first 50, 100 and 250 asset intrinsic correlation graphs are moving simultaneously towards the peak indicating that the market has been losing its specificity and prepares for similar stepwise movements.

The meeting on Wednesday, October 28th was a turning point.

Wintermute notes that Wednesday's meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is a key point for markets to move out of their long-term frame, considering the FOMC on October 28th as most likely to be a breakout round and the fallout can go both ways. If the Fed tone stiffens, it will push the Nasdaq down and Bitcoin follows; but if an easing tone accompanies strong corporate performance, it adds fuel for banks to take the psychological high road test.
