Set your alerts.
The latest U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report drops tomorrow at 8:30 AM ET. Here's what it means for crypto & markets.
What is CPI?
CPI measures the change in prices consumers pay for goods/services. It’s the #1 inflation indicator and a core data point for Federal Reserve policy.
What to Watch For:
Headline CPI: Overall inflation
Core CPI: Excluding food & energy (the Fed’s preferred gauge)
Month-over-Month (MoM) & Year-over-Year (YoY) changes
Possible Scenarios & Crypto Impact:
🔴 Hotter-than-expected CPI → Higher inflation fears → Delayed rate cuts → Stronger USD → Risk-off sentiment → Potential short-term pressure on #Bitcoin & crypto.
🟢 Cooler-than-expected CPI → Inflation easing → Fed closer to rate cuts → Weaker USD → Risk-on rally → Likely bullish fuel for crypto markets.
🟡 In-line with expectations → Markets may stay range-bound, awaiting Fed commentary.
This report shapes the liquidity narrative for 2025. Higher rates = tighter money. Lower rates = more fuel for risk assets. Watch the dollar (DXY) and Bitcoin’s reaction closely.
Are you positioned for volatility?
