Altcoins rallied on thin trading while Bitcoin held below $83,500, and later shrugged off ETF outflows to trade above $84,000 as oil prices fell, according to CoinDesk.

Ethereum trimmed losses as geopolitical fears eased and traders turned their focus to the US CPI report, with recent price action driven mainly by movements in US Treasury yields, the US dollar and overall risk sentiment. Trump ruled out strikes on Iran before the November elections and triggered a relief rally in risk assets, according to ForexLive. Technical analysis placed key Ethereum support around 1,900 with resistance at 2,630 and 3,000, targeting 3,400 on a breakout.

Zcash pared losses amid improved risk sentiment as focus shifted to the US CPI and Winklevoss ETF approval, with the NU7 network upgrade expected to reduce block times from 75 seconds to 25 seconds following a final mainnet activation decision on October 20, according to ForexLive. On October 6, Winklevoss Asset Services filed for a proposed spot Zcash ETF, which is 10x cheaper than Greyscale's ETF.

Looking Ahead
NeutralZEC
01
Wednesday's US CPI report represents the primary volatility catalyst for crypto markets this week, with a hotter than expected core reading potentially raising probabilities of a Fed rate hike in October and weighing on digital assets, while a soft report would likely boost crypto on lower Treasury yields and US dollar weakness. Thursday brings US PPI, US Retail Sales and the latest US Jobless Claims figures.
02
Zcash developers are expected to make a final mainnet activation decision on October 20 for the NU7 network upgrade, with November 5 targeted for launch. US-Iran negotiations continue as both sides seek concessions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with outcomes carrying significant implications for oil prices, inflation expectations and risk sentiment.
