BTC started losing momentum the moment the CPI numbers hit the market. Inflation came in hotter than expected at 3.8%, energy prices surged 18%, and oil kept climbing as ceasefire talks weakened further. You could literally watch sentiment shift in real time, traders moved from confidence to caution within minutes, and volatility spread across the market fast. Instead of forcing trades emotionally, I stayed patient and focused on the reaction itself. That momentum gave me the opportunity to short $CL /USDT on Bitget with 20x leverage, closing a +30.09% gain from 98.476 to 97.016. Right now the market feels extremely headline-driven, and with oil pushing toward $100 again, every macro update is moving $BTC and the broader market harder than usual. #BTC #CryptoTrading
