#CPIWatch 🇺🇸

All eyes are on the U.S. August Consumer Price Index (CPI), one of the most market-moving economic reports of the month. The release is expected to heavily influence expectations for the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting.

Market expectations:

📊 Headline CPI (MoM): +0.4%

📊 Core CPI (MoM): +0.2%

📈 Headline CPI (YoY): 3.4%

📈 Core CPI (YoY): 2.4%

Why it matters for crypto:

🟢 Lower-than-expected CPI → Bullish for $HBAR - $TRUMP - $DOT & altcoins

🔴 Higher-than-expected CPI → May strengthen the USD and pressure risk assets, including crypto

⚖️ In-line CPI → Markets likely focus on the Fed's next guidance instead
