$BTC **CPI TRAP AHEAD — JANUARY 13 COULD HIT BITCOIN HARD**
Bitcoin is entering a critical danger zone, and recent history is sending a clear warning. With the **January 13 CPI release** approaching, the last six months reveal a consistent pattern: BTC often drops **5–8% on average** shortly after this period. The real risk lies in how the market behaves *before* the data is released.
**The familiar setup keeps repeating:**
* BTC builds a bullish narrative ahead of CPI
* Price stabilizes or slowly grinds higher as confidence returns
* CPI drops… and the market sells the event
The charts tell the same story every time: strength into the CPI print, followed by a sharp volatility spike that punishes crowded positioning.
If this pattern plays out again, the next few weeks may appear constructive on the surface — but January could still sweep lower levels before any durable upside resumes.
CPI isn’t just an economic report.
It’s a **liquidity reset button**.
So the question is:
Are you chasing the bullish narrative — or positioning for the post-CPI shakeout?
