📢 HTX Research Weekly Crypto Market Forecast (10 Nov):
1. U.S. CPI: December Rate Hike Expectations Rise Sharply
The October CPI report on Tuesday will be this week's key macroeconomic event, following stronger-than-expected job growth of 165,000 that pushed December Fed rate hike expectations to around 80%. If inflation remains elevated, markets may price in higher interest rates for longer, potentially driving Treasury yields and the dollar higher. For BTC, the combination of strong employment, persistent inflation, and tighter monetary conditions could intensify selling pressure.
2. AI Trade Under Pressure: Tech Stocks Remain Key to Crypto Sentiment
Following last week's sharp Nasdaq selloff, investors are increasingly concerned about AI infrastructure spending, profitability, and high valuations. Upcoming earnings from CoreWeave, Cisco, and Applied Materials will test whether substantial AI investments can translate into sustainable revenue growth. Strong results could stabilize technology stocks and restore crypto risk appetite, while further weakness may trigger additional selling in BTC and high-beta altcoins.
3. BTC ETF Outflows: Institutional Demand and Regulatory Outlook Weaken
U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded approximately $1.28 billion in weekly net outflows, their worst performance since June, while ETH ETFs extended their outflow streak to six consecutive weeks. Combined with concerns over tighter crypto regulations following the midterm elections, weakening institutional demand has added pressure on BTC, which briefly fell to $73,700. This week, the key question is whether BTC can stabilize and attract renewed ETF inflows, as any price recovery without institutional support may prove short-lived.

📢 HTX Research's Weekly Crypto Market Forecast:
1. U.S. Midterm Elections: Policy Expectations Could Drive Market Volatility
Tuesday’s midterm elections will determine control of Congress and shape the Trump administration’s fiscal, trade, AI, and crypto regulatory agenda over the next two years. With record political spending from the crypto industry, the results could influence market structure legislation, stablecoin regulation, and SEC policies. Markets will initially focus on reduced political uncertainty, followed by the longer-term implications for crypto adoption and regulation.
2. October Nonfarm Payrolls: A Key Test for December Rate Hike Expectations
Friday’s jobs report will be a crucial indicator for the Fed’s December policy decision, with markets currently pricing in around a 70% probability of another rate hike. Following September’s weak job growth of just 29,000 and elevated PCE inflation of 3.6%, stronger employment data could push Treasury yields and the dollar higher, pressuring BTC. Further labor market weakness, however, could ease rate hike expectations and improve liquidity conditions for crypto.
3. Apple & AMD Earnings: A Key Confidence Test for the AI Trade
Apple and AMD earnings will provide an important test of technology sector growth and AI investment returns following the recent market correction. Investors will focus on Apple’s iPhone demand and AI strategy, alongside AMD’s AI chip and data center performance. Strong results could restore confidence in the AI trade and support risk-on sentiment, while disappointing earnings may trigger further tech stock weakness and spill over into BTC and high-beta crypto assets.
