Everyone thinks a selloff in gold and silver has nothing to do with crypto, but actually the same inflation weather hits both.
That blind spot is how people get chopped up. Metals look weak, oil is already climbing into US CPI, and it feels like a normal dip to buy $BTC . Then the print lands and the exit you needed was before the number, not after the candle.
Think of CPI as an exam the whole market has to sit. Rising oil is the hint that the test got harder, because pricier energy makes inflation look stickier and keeps rates less friendly. Gold and silver feel it first. They pay you nothing to hold them, a bit like cash under a mattress while the bank next door raises its rate. That stress does not stay in the metals room. Liquidity gets pickier, and $ETH often wobbles for the same reason even when the headline never mentions crypto. $PAXG just puts the gold side of that story on a crypto screen. Three habits help. First, treat the day before CPI as a different day. Second, read oil and metals as the mood of inflation, not as unrelated charts. Third, pick your exit before the number, because after it the market moves faster than your group chat.
Where do you think this goes once the print is out?
