Has the Federal Reserve started to feel the pressure?
Stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data suggests the labor market is still solid, but the real test may come with the upcoming CPI data.
If inflation comes in higher than expected, it could become harder for the Fed to pivot quickly toward rate cuts—especially if labor-market strength continues.
That’s where the equation becomes important for markets:
📈 Higher inflation + strong jobs = more pressure on rates and liquidity
📉 Lower inflation = more room for the Fed to ease
My current stance is cautious, leaning bearish on high-risk assets ahead of CPI—not because the uptrend has ended, but because the incoming data could quickly change market expectations.
For me, gold remains one of the assets worth watching, while I’m monitoring BTC for clear confirmation instead of chasing any sudden move.
Are you bullish or bearish before CPI?
