🔥Tonight CPI hits the tape, and the old-timers’ pre-market recap
I’ve been staring at the screen and grinding through until now—tonight’s main event is the CPI release.
Market sentiment is just too tense right now. Earlier, the jobs report (nonfarm) and the PPI data both came in stronger than expected. Plus, crude oil even pushed straight up to $109. Now the market has priced in a 70%+ chance of a rate hike in September. Tonight’s CPI is the “starter pistol” that decides which direction this needle will go.
After watching the chart for a long time, I’ve already lined up three response scenarios in my head:
1. Red alert: CPI higher than expected (inflation keeps rebounding)
If the data comes in hot, rate-hike expectations will keep heating up—tonight is going to be a bloodbath. The US dollar and Treasury yields will surge higher instantly. High-valuation growth stocks, gold, and BTC/ETH will definitely come under heavy pressure.
👉 Key watch: BTC’s 76,000 psychological support. If this level breaks, the Nasdaq (and chip stocks like SNDK) will almost certainly start dumping valuations too—then the market will look really ugly.
2. Yellow warning: CPI in line with expectations (choppy within expectations)
If the data is neither hot nor cold, bulls and bears will likely keep “pinning” each other on the candlestick chart to trigger stop-losses. In this kind of market, don’t try to bet on a single direction. It’s suited for small-position entries, quick in-and-out trading—high sell, low buy.
3. Green celebration: CPI lower than expected (inflation finally bows down)
If the numbers deliver and inflation cools off, tonight is “a windfall shower of wealth.” Once rate-hike expectations retreat, Treasury yields fall, and US stock tech, gold, and BTC/ETH can directly take off. BTC has a good chance to revisit the 80,000 level.
💡 Sister Xin’s sincere reminder:
The moment the data lands, the worst stop-hunts and price “wick” moves are the most brutal.
Tonight, don’t go heavy on betting the direction—that’s gambling, not trading.
The truly mature traders wait until the data hits, the chart shows clear signals, and then they move with the trend.
If you place orders ahead of time, you absolutely, absolutely, absolutely must set proper stop-losses.
Under the shadow of high interest rates, non-yielding assets like gold and BTC are extremely sensitive to inflation data.
Don’t touch the dark side in crypto. If you want to avoid traps and secure steadier profits, follow Sister Xin’s tempo!
