Bitcoin Rebounds to $63K as CPI Week Begins

Bitcoin Rebounds Off Its Worst Week Since FTX

Bitcoin trades approximately $63,200, up about 2 percent over 24 hours, clawing back ground after sinking as low as the high $59,000s over the weekend in its worst week since the 2022 FTX collapse, per the TradingView tape and 24/7 Wall St. The bounce has the look of a classic oversold rebound: the Crypto Fear and Greed Index sits at 12, deep in extreme fear, the kind of washed-out reading that has often marked the exhaustion of panic selling. The backdrop is still heavy. US spot bitcoin ETFs bled a record roughly $4.33 billion across a 13-day outflow streak that only broke with a small Friday inflow, while a first-ever MicroStrategy sale and a large Mt. Gox transfer deepened the gloom, as we tracked in our weekend recap. Ethereum trades near $1,665, roughly flat on the day and still the laggard among the majors. Reference structure: the $60,000 area is the zone structural buyers are watching after February's low; a reclaim of the $66,000 to $67,000 shelf on volume would be the first sign the breakdown is repairing, while a loss of $60,000 reopens the downside.

Wall Street Steadies After Friday's Jobs Shock

Friday was brutal. A hot May payrolls print of 172,000 jobs, more than double the roughly 85,000 consensus, revived rate-hike talk, drove the 10-year Treasury yield up to about 4.54 percent, and triggered a roughly $1 trillion chip rout, per Charles Schwab. The S&P 500 fell 2.64 percent to 7,383.74, its first weekly loss in 10 weeks; the Nasdaq Composite dropped 4.18 percent to 25,709.43, its worst session since April 2025; and the Dow eased to 50,866.78 but held roughly flat on the week as money rotated toward value names. We broke down the full reversal in our June 5 morning analysis. Cash markets stay closed until the US open, and ES futures point about 0.3 percent lower early Monday as traders brace for the inflation week. Reference structure: with the S&P back near 7,380, the bullish trigger is a reclaim of the 7,500 round number; the bearish trigger is a loss of Friday's low, which would extend the pullback.

All Eyes on Wednesday's May CPI

The week's marquee data lands Wednesday, June 10 at 8:30 a.m. ET: the May Consumer Price Index. After Friday's jobs shock, it is the decider. April CPI had already accelerated to 3.8 percent year over year, the hottest since May 2023, with core at 2.8 percent and an energy-led surge doing much of the lifting, per TradingKey. A firm May print would cement the hawkish repricing that hammered tech and crypto on Friday and pressure both again, while a cooler number would hand the rate-scare narrative its first off-ramp. Markets still price near-certain no change at the June 16-17 FOMC, the first under new Chair Kevin Warsh, but December hike odds have climbed above 50 percent and the meeting is widely expected to drop any easing bias.

Gold Slips to a Fresh 2026 Low

Spot gold trades approximately $4,295, down about 0.8 percent and notching a fresh 2026 low, per Trading Economics. The metal is caught in the same cross-current that defined last week: fading Middle East risk is draining the safe-haven bid, while higher-for-longer rate expectations cap a non-yielding asset. The decoupling has been stark. Since the Iran conflict flared, gold has actually fallen roughly 10 percent even as crude rallied, an unusual split driven by the energy-led inflation scare that has pushed real yields higher, per Business Standard. Reference frame: structural support now sits at the prior 2026 low; a sustained hold keeps the structure firm, while a clean break opens room toward the next shelf lower. A hot CPI would add pressure, while a cool print could revive the bid.

Oil Rebounds as the Iran File Cools

WTI front-month crude trades approximately $93.40, rebounding about 3 percent from Friday's slide toward $90.30, when demand worries and a lack of breakthrough in US-Iran talks dragged the barrel lower. Over the weekend, negotiators extended the ceasefire and negotiation window another 60 days and confirmed a preliminary draft agreement that still awaits final US approval, capping the war premium even as crude stabilizes. The oil tape matters well beyond energy: a calmer barrel eases the inflation premium feeding Treasury yields and gives Wednesday's CPI room to set the tone. Reference structure: the barrel is rebuilding off Friday's low while it holds the low $90s; a credible re-escalation headline would snap the premium back toward the mid $90s, while steady progress on the deal keeps a lid on it.

What to Watch: CPI, the Fed, and ETF Flows

The session and the week pivot on inflation. May CPI on Wednesday is the macro decider, with a hot print hardening the higher-for-longer narrative that pressures crypto and gold, and a soft one reviving hopes the central bank can stay patient. The June 16-17 FOMC under Chair Warsh is the marquee event behind it. In crypto, whether Friday's small ETF inflow turns into a durable trend or fades back into outflows is the dominant near-term signal, with traders watching the $60,000 area. Layered on top, every US-Iran headline can swing oil and the inflation outlook, and the open question is whether semiconductors can stabilize after a $1 trillion washout or keep dragging on the tape.
