🚨 US CPI Is Out, Guys! And There's Something In This Report That $BTC Traders Shouldn't Ignore
The October US CPI report is finally here, and I went through the actual BLS numbers. There are some positive signs, but the report isn't as simple as calling it fully bullish.
Headline CPI slowed to 0.4% MoM from 0.6% in September, while core CPI remained at 0.3% for the third consecutive month.
Food inflation increased from 0% to 0.5%, but energy inflation cooled sharply from 5.2% to 0.7%. Shelter also slowed from 0.4% to 0.3%.
One important detail: BLS couldn't publish October year-over-year CPI figures because October 2025 survey data was unavailable due to the government shutdown. So we don't have a proper annual comparison or a confirmed beat against market expectations.
Now, there's another thing I am watching. Trump's recent signals about de-escalation with Iran have helped cool oil prices. If tensions continue easing, lower energy costs could provide further relief to inflation.
And here's where it gets interesting. If oil stays under control, there is no major escalation, and Trump's tone doesn't suddenly change, we could see a much softer November CPI reading. That could create another positive catalyst for BTC and potentially support lower Treasury yields.
Personally, I think a short-term BTC pump is possible, but don't mistake it for a confirmed breakout. We still need confirmation from bond yields and price action.
November could be interesting, guys. I'm watching both oil and Treasury yields very closely. ✅ $INIT
