Bitcoin Holds Above $81,000 as September Producer Prices Jump 1.3%

The muted reaction is the story: a hot wholesale print would normally pressure risk assets, yet bitcoin barely moved and the top tokens stayed inside a 1% band. That suggests the market is treating the energy-driven spike as a supply shock rather than a broad inflation signal, or simply lacks a catalyst to trade against. The open question is whether crypto's calm persists if subsequent inflation data broadens beyond energy — that, not this print alone, is what would test the current indifference.
