Julia Manchester of The Hill <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JuliaManch\/status\/2104360500767359103\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported the timing<\/a> on Sunday but giving no topic or agenda for the same. Polymarket\u2019s post about the event had drawn <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Polymarket\/status\/2104371443094196414\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more than 500,000<\/a> views over the last few hours.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the guessing has a clear center of gravity, namely Iran. President Donald Trump said on Saturday he had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/9\/27\/better-deal-whats-behind-trumps-rejection-of-irans-truce-offer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">turned down Tehran\u2019s offer<\/a> to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I reject their proposal. But that deal would not be acceptable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Iran\u2019s seven-day plan asked Washington to lift its naval blockade, waive oil sanctions and release roughly $12 billion in frozen assets. In exchange, Tehran would reopen the strait and start final talks.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, oil <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DeItaone\/status\/2104331921719509303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rebounded more than<\/a> 1% when markets reopened on Sunday evening while bitcoin slid about 1.5% to near $83,000 (just hours after posting its highest weekly close since January at $84,472).<\/p>\n<h2>How Tight Is the Job Market and the Fed\u2019s Favorite Number<\/h2>\n<p>The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and the Conference Board\u2019s consumer confidence index both land Tuesday. Neither usually moves crypto much on its own.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index (the Fed\u2019s preferred inflation gauge) arrives Wednesday alongside ADP\u2019s private payrolls count. Core PCE last printed at 3.3% year over year, well above the Fed\u2019s 2% goal.<\/p>\n<p>That number matters more than usual because of what happened two weeks ago. The Fed <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/finance\/after-years-of-holds-and-cuts-the-fed-just-raised-rates-again\/\">raised rates by 25 basis points<\/a> to a 3.75% to 4% range on Sept. 16, a 12-0 vote and its first hike since July 2023. The median projection shows one more hike before year-end.<\/p>\n<p>The bond market is already leaning into it, with the 10-year Treasury yield closing Friday at 5.17% and the 30-year at 5.49%, <a href=\"https:\/\/home.treasury.gov\/resource-center\/data-chart-center\/interest-rates\/TextView?type=daily_treasury_yield_curve&amp;field_tdr_date_value_month=202609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Treasury figures showed<\/a>. Not one to stay silent, Peter Schiff <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PeterSchiff\/status\/2104370953136328733\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">commented on the same<\/a> while analyst Benjamin Cowen <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/benjamincowen\/status\/2104430192731013366\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tied the two figures together,<\/a> adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Usually after passing the 50W like in 2019\/2023, BTC then runs 20-30% within 1-2 weeks. This time, the move has been much more muted, probably because of fears over seasonality and yields heading higher (which is often bearish for long-duration assets like crypto).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>October and Beyond<\/h2>\n<p>The Institute for Supply Management\u2019s (ISM) manufacturing survey lands on Oct. 1, the first day of the fourth quarter.
