Business-service inflation reached 3.7% in Japan, while the transport-excluded rate held steady and labor-sensitive price growth eased. The mixed readings make the Bank of Japan's outlook harder to read ahead of its Friday decision. Traders may watch this closely because central bank direction can influence yen trades and broader market sentiment.
UTXO analyst Duke Waldrop says a Bank of Japan liquidity shock could affect bitcoin. He explains how unwinding yen carry trades can drain liquidity from bitcoin's around-the-clock market. He also sees Metaplanet trading below its net asset value as a possible opportunity.

Brazilian stocks fell sharply after Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro, a candidate prediction markets had given an 80% chance. The iShares Brazil ETF dropped as much as 26%, while the dollar rose as much as 12% against the real.

Treasury dealers' net bill holdings have hit a two-year high, according to a FHLBNY update dated October 23.

Any spillover into Bitcoin is still conditional, so traders should watch funding conditions rather than assume a direct crypto move.
A new Michigan historical comparison shows US consumers still expect high inflation over the long run, even though overall sentiment is steady. Those elevated expectations could make it harder for Bitcoin to benefit from easier financing conditions. Traders may see this as a reason to stay cautious on Bitcoin.
A new report says September's US inflation data had a 66.3% quote collection rate for commodities and services. That rate shows how much of the survey was covered, but it does not show whether inflation is pushing up or down. Traders may see this as a hidden risk in the data that the Fed will weigh for Bitcoin.
Brent crude fell below $110 as hopes for an Iran deal grew, and Brazilian stocks sank. Bitcoin stayed above $80,000 while investors waited for Microsoft and Amazon earnings and rate decisions from the Fed, BOJ and ECB. Traders may watch these events for clues on where markets head next.

Hedge funds held an estimated $2 trillion in US Treasury cash bonds at the end of 2025, roughly 7% of marketable US debt, per the Office of Financial Research.

Bitcoin dropped back to $81,000 as oil prices reached a six-month high, with Brent crude rising above $116 per barrel. U.S. stocks also turned lower in mid-morning trading. Traders may see this as a sign that rising energy prices and weaker market sentiment are weighing on risk assets.
Bitcoin is holding above $81,000 while Brent crude oil has climbed past $116 a barrel, its highest level since late April. Oil at a six-month high can shift the macro backdrop that traders watch across crypto and gold.
