New York Fed Inflation Expectations Leak 'Heavenly Secret'? Behind 3.24%, Retail Investors Must Understand Two Ways Out!
Brothers, I'm Sirius. Today a chart went viral in the circle—America's November New York Fed 1-year inflation expectation surprisingly marked at 3.24%! Although it says 'not released' next to it, this number has been enough for us to ponder all night.
What is the relationship between inflation and the crypto market?
In simple terms, inflation means 'money is losing value'. If American inflation cannot be controlled, the Federal Reserve will hesitate to raise interest rates, and with the dollar weakening, large funds will have to find places to hedge. Last October, when inflation data exploded, Bitcoin jumped 15% within a week, but then quickly rebounded—why? Because many people used Bitcoin as 'digital gold' to hedge against inflation. So if this 3.24% becomes a reality, it could very well signal another wave of capital undercurrents.
What should retail investors do? Remember two ways out:
First, don’t be foolishly waiting for data. Even if the market drops shortly after the data is released, it might be a chance to buy. Look at those who hoarded Bitcoin during last year's crash; they are now secretly enjoying themselves.
Second, don’t bet on a one-sided position. The market is currently volatile; hold onto your mainstream coin positions, keep some flexible funds, be brave to add when it dips, and stay calm when it rises. Never go all in; if the news reverses, it’s easy to lose your mindset.
My viewpoint is very straightforward:
This 3.24% is like a warning light—regardless of what the final number is, the market's anxiety about inflation is already evident. The crypto market is no longer just looking at technology; it’s also observing the flow of global capital. Smart people have already started quietly positioning themselves.
