Why CPI Matters So Much:
Lower than expected CPI
Cooling inflation
Stronger rate cut expectations
Bullish momentum for stocks and crypto
Higher than expected CPI
Persistent inflation pressure
Fed may stay hawkish for longer

Assets likely to react:
Bitcoin • Altcoins • US Stocks • Dollar Index • Bonds
Volatility Alert:
Sharp moves, fake breakouts, and liquidations are common around CPI releases. Traders using leverage should be extra cautious.
Smart approach:
Don’t chase the first move — wait for confirmation after the data settles.
Countdown is on.
Today’s CPI print could set the tone for the entire market.
