#usjulycpi&ppiduethisweek CPI can come in hot, cold, or exactly at expectations. BTC can still move in either direction first because positioning, liquidity and leverage matter.
So instead of saying “CPI = bullish” or “CPI = bearish,” shouldn't we ask:
What did the market already price in?
Where is the leverage?
What happens after the first liquidity sweep?
If CPI is exactly as expected, that doesn't automatically mean BTC is bullish. And if BTC initially pumps, that doesn't automatically mean the pump is genuine.
The first candle is information — not a trading signal.
Let the market reveal its reaction before we decide what the reaction means.
That's the debate I want to have.
Do you trade the CPI number — or do you trade BTC's reaction to the number?
