CPI day is here, and alts are split in two 👀
1️⃣ Some alts are pumping while BTC drops
$BTC slipped about 1.5% to around $74,700. Some alts went the other way anyway:
🟢 $ARB +6.6%
🟢 $JUP +6.6%
🟢 $AVAX +4.0%
🟢 $ONDO +4.0%
🟢 $RENDER +3.9%
2️⃣ The big names are bleeding
🔴 $XRP −5.4% (back near $1.09)
🔴 $ETH −4.8% (around $2,125)
🔴 $SOL −3.4% (around $86.5)
Large caps are being sold, and money is rotating into a few smaller narratives like DeFi, RWA and AI.
3️⃣ The main event: US CPI today 🔥
October inflation data comes out today at 8:30 AM ET (13:30 UTC). September came in hot at 3.7%. Analysts expect core CPI near +0.2% this time.
One twist: because of last year's government shutdown, some yearly figures may not be published at all. Expect confusion, and fast wicks.
📉 Hotter than expected = more pressure on ETH/XRP/SOL
📈 Cooler than expected = the green alts could run further
My take: don't chase the first CPI candle. Wait 15–30 minutes and let the algos finish their whipsaw, then follow the direction.
Which side are you on today, green alts or red giants? 👇
