<li>Crypto prices are still tracking our expected cycle trend, and the next big test is whether we see another period of consolidation — or if the breakout is finally near.</li>
<li>We outline a few notable risks in the near term that may stand in the way of the next crypto uptrend: stagnant liquidity, buyer exhaustion, further tightening in financial conditions</li>

<li>Even though headline and core inflation were close to expectations, the underlying data signals trouble. Powell’s favorite CPI measure, SuperCore inflation, rose 7.6% on an annualized basis in September. </li>

The Weekly Market Monitor – Bad Inflation + Bad Sentiment = Bad Bounce?

<ul>
<li>This week, we show why the economy is in the final innings of this economic cycle. The only macro-indicator that stubbornly refuses to acknowledge this is the US labor market. </li>

<li>We update our scary valuation chart, revealing a monstrous gap between yields and stock market valuation, and look at Bitcoin positioning, our Fear &amp; Frenzy Sentiment Index, and much more.</li>
