📊 Evening Recap | September 12 — CPI turned hawkish but didn’t get worse. Why did BTC rise anyway?
Last night, the US August core CPI increased by 0.3% month-over-month (higher than the prior 0.2%). The overall CPI rose 3.4% year-over-year, with a month-over-month increase of +0.4%, basically in line with expectations—hawkish, but not worse than expected. In theory, this should be a bearish signal, so BTC ought to fall. But the market went the other way: BTC briefly rebounded to around $79,000. After the data was released, ETH surged quickly, then prices pulled back somewhat. BTC is currently quoted at $77,306.
Three reasons:
① Bad news that was already priced in
Before the data, the market had already sold off in advance. BTC even dipped to around $76,500, and the hawkish expectations were priced in early. After the data landed, there was no worse-than-expected news—leading instead to a rebound.
② Short covering
The $76,500 support held. Shorts closed their positions in a concentrated way, creating a mechanical buy order. With liquidity thin, the upside move was amplified.
③ Capital begins to spill over on a trial basis
After the CPI release, ETH and BNB outperformed the broader market today. ETH’s share rose from 11.41% to 11.71%, and BNB’s share increased from 3.60% to 3.85%. This suggests some capital started to spill over from Bitcoin into major coins on a trial basis. However, SOL’s share dipped slightly, and there is still differentiation within the sector.
