  • Market volatility has spiked following the release of August CPI data this morning. Report expectations were that headline inflation would decrease .1% month-over-month and come in at 8.1% YoY. In actuality, inflation increased .1% MoM and 8.3% YoY, sparking a huge sell-off in risk assets as investors’ belief that inflation has peaked has lost credibility. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are down 3.07% and 4.23%, respectively. Crypto markets have fared worse with $BTC returning to $21k (-6.66%) and $ETH falling to $1.6k (-6.40%). Alt-coins have given back their strong weekly gains, with $SOL, $AVAX, and $MATIC all down over 7% on the day. With Arbitrum Odyssey slated for later this month, Arbitrum ecosystem tokens have been a notable underperformer today, with tokens such as $GMX, $MAGIC, and $DPX all losing around 10% over the last 24 hours.
  • Traditional finance powerhouses Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, Citadel Securities, and others have announced the launch of a new cryptocurrency exchange called EDX Markets (EDXM). EDXM plans to “address latent demand for digital asset trading by enabling safe and compliant trading of digital assets through trusted intermediaries.” The announcement marks a significant acknowledgment from the traditional finance world that crypto is here to stay. Former Global Head of Business Development at Citadel Securities, Jamil Nazarali, will assume the role of CEO. The exchange plans to offer a highly liquid ecosystem that sources liquidity from multiple market makers, offering traders lower spreads. EDXM claims that its commitment to price discovery and efficiency will result in better prices for investors compared to current cryptocurrency exchanges. Additionally, with a focus on customer security and regulatory compliance, EDXM notes it will be separating the exchange operators from the entities that trade on it, calling out the conflict of interest that currently exists with some other crypto exchanges. No official timeline has been released regarding the exchange’s launch.
  • Coffee giant Starbucks is moving its rewards program to the blockchain. In a program deemed “Starbucks Odyssey,” coffee drinkers will earn NFT rewards called “stamps” for their purchases, granting them access to merchandise and special events. Starbucks aims to “create an accessible Web3 community that will enable new ways to engage with members and partners.” With over 27 million active Starbucks Rewards members, the new program offers vast exposure to the crypto industry. Starbucks Odyssey offers customers different activities, such as playing interactive games or going through challenges that deepen the customer’s experience. Customers' stamps (NFTs) can be sold for points on the Starbucks’ marketplace. The stamp's rarity will determine the point value, and all stamps will feature iconic Starbucks artwork. The NFT program is launching on Polygon Network, an Ethereum scaling solution. Following the announcement yesterday, Polygon’s token $MATIC was up over 4%. Starbucks customers can currently join the waitlist for the program, with no official launch date announced.
Daily Technical Strategy
Crypto Daily Report – September 13

Mark L. Newton, CMT

Head of Technical Strategy

$BTCUSD's huge downdraft Tuesday is a technical negative which likely results in a challenge and possible break of 9/7 lows into early October before a technical stabilization begins. The abrupt reversal directly coincided with what's being seen in US Equity and many international equity markets following the stronger than expected inflation data. As daily charts show, the early 9/13 gains hit a perfect 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the prior August-September drawdown which also touched the uptrend from June lows before reversing. However, it's also insightful to note that the 58 day rally (calendar day) from 6/16-8/15 shows a prominent turn 9/13 at an exact 50% Time retracement. Thus 29 days from 8/16 arrives at our peak on 9/13. Thus, projecting forward, 9/19 has significance as a 61.8% Fibonacci time target while 10/12 is quite strong as a 100% target as well. Support could materialize near 18540, but expect that 17592 might come into play before a bottom in October and turn back higher. Conversely, while not immediately expected, movement back over 22,781 turns trends back to bullish. At present, investors should concentrate on possible lows into 9/19 or more likely near 10/12.
