🇺🇸 CPI SURGE: Is the Fed About to Hike Rates Again? 📈
The latest U.S. CPI report has made the Fed's next decision even more important for markets.
August CPI rose 0.4% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.3% MoM and 2.4% YoY. The monthly core reading was hotter than the 0.2% economists expected. �
📊 My market view: Bearish in the short term
Inflation is still well above the Fed's 2% target, while rising energy prices are adding another source of pressure. Markets are now pricing in roughly an 85–87% probability of a 25-basis-point Fed hike at the upcoming meeting. �
For Bitcoin and crypto, another hike could mean:
🔸 Higher Treasury yields
🔸 Tighter financial conditions
🔸 More volatility
🔸 Short-term pressure on risk assets
But there is another side: if the Fed delivers the expected hike and signals that additional tightening may be limited, markets could eventually stabilize.
My focus now is BTC price action, volume and liquidity rather than chasing the first CPI reaction.
👉 Bullish or bearish? Do you think this CPI report will trigger a Fed rate hike — and what happens to BTC next?
