The global war on inflation just opened a new front. India's central bank hiked rates for the first time in nearly four years, and crypto is the first asset to feel the shockwave.

This morning, the Reserve Bank of India raised its key rate by 25 basis points, sending a clear signal that global tightening is not over. And risk assets are listening. Bitcoin is down three percent, trading around eighty-three thousand five hundred, and Ethereum is getting hit harder, down almost five percent today.

This is a direct challenge to the idea that inflation is yesterday's problem. While US tech stocks have been on a tear—semiconductors were up seven percent over the last week—the 24/7 crypto markets are pricing in this new macro risk in real time. This isn't a random sell-off; it's a warning shot.

All of this comes just hours before the Federal Reserve releases its own meeting minutes. This morning's drop is the opening act. I'm tracking how markets react on korra dot finance. The level to watch is eighty-two thousand six hundred—if that support breaks, the selling has legs.
