The Fed decides before the next CPI. The order of events matters.
According to the official calendars checked on 11/11:
• 12/4: U.S. employment report for November.
• 12/8–9: FOMC meeting.
• 12/10: November CPI.
In other words, if this calendar holds, November’s CPI comes out after the December decision. Inconveniently, the calendar doesn’t keep pace with the narrative’s urgency.
For those following BTC and ETH, it’s worth separating three things: published data, market expectations, and the actual decision. The already-released October CPI may influence expectations, but it doesn’t make a future rate hike a foregone conclusion. And the Fed doesn’t look at CPI alone.
Dates help organize scenarios; they don’t guarantee the next candle.
