Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Chainlink were described as trading around key levels while the market looked ahead to Wednesday’s U.S. CPI release. Another preview framed the coming week around U.S. inflation data and Ethereum upgrade discussions, with investors expecting the Federal Reserve to keep rates unchanged in October and to raise them in December.
