#CPIWatch
Feels like the whole market is holding its breath right now.
CPI is coming, and honestly, this is one of those moments where I’d rather watch the reaction than try to predict the number.
If inflation comes in softer, things could get interesting pretty quickly. Yields and the dollar would be the first things I’d watch. If both start cooling while BTC pushes higher, that would make the move much more convincing. And if Bitcoin can actually hold that strength, altcoins could finally get some room to run.
A hotter CPI is where things get uncomfortable.
It would give the market another reason to worry about tighter Fed policy, and that usually isn’t a great combination for risk assets. Higher yields, a stronger dollar and too much leverage in crypto can turn into a nasty move very quickly.
But I’m actually more interested in what happens AFTER the number drops.
We’ve seen this movie before.
Huge candle.
Everyone jumps in.
Positions get liquidated on both sides.
Then 15–30 minutes later, the market starts moving in the direction that actually matters.
So I’m not chasing the first candle.
I want to see whether BTC holds the move, whether volume follows through, and whether bonds and the dollar are telling the same story.
If everything lines up, we may finally get a clean direction.
If it doesn’t, today could become another trap for impatient traders.
CPI will create the noise.
What the market does after the noise is where I’ll be paying attention.
This could get wild.
