CPI Lower Than Expectations Core CPI (MoM) fell to 0.2% (below expectations of 0.3%) → Core inflation weakened. Price pressures involving goods and services (except energy and food) slowed, indicating that core inflation is starting to come under control. Inflation weakens → Expectations of a Fed rate hike decrease.With inflation under control, the Fed has less reason to maintain ultra-tight monetary policy, raising market speculation that interest rates are nearing a peak or could even fall in the future.
After 9% Plunge, What Will Happen to Bitcoin on Friday? Employment Data Key
Reasons Bitcoin Crashed ~9%: Tuesday, January 7: US economic data (especially the much higher-than-expected ISM Non-Manufacturing Prices) showed that inflation is still strong. This has investors worried that the central bank (The Fed) will not cut interest rates as quickly as expected. Wednesday, January 8: The FOMC minutes confirmed those concerns. The Fed did cut rates, but they cut their forecast for the number of rate cuts in 2025. They also emphasized concerns about inflation and the potential impact of Donald Trump’s policies. In essence, the Fed appeared less “dovish” (likely to raise or hold rates steady) than previously expected.
Once again, I closed my position by watching 1m timeframe. Significant sentiment shifts often start on lower timeframes. Ignore them, and you’ll miss the warning signs before the bigger moves happen.
Let me guess, you’re one of those ‘trading geniuses’ who swear by their magical indicators and only respect higher timeframes, right?
Here’s the truth: those BS squiggly lines you worship aren’t predicting anything, and sentiment doesn’t wait for your sacred 4H candle to shift. It can flip in seconds—even on a gasp 1-minute chart.
But hey, keep dismissing what actually moves the market while pretending your strategy isn’t bleeding your account dry. The rest of us ‘broke traders’ will just keep watching the real action.
👆Whale Activity isn’t always scams; they’re part of market dynamics driven by supply and demand. ✌️Altcoins often follow Bitcoin’s trends but can lag due to their higher volatility. 🤟Not all altcoins hit new highs due to differences in adoption, development, or market trust.
If prawns or even planktons like you stop trading, liquidity will drop, making it easier for whales to manipulate prices 🥱

Hello everyone, I have a proposal for you all, let's all of us not whales but pawns, just leave the crypto and let the whales trade among themselves. I'm just tired of this whole scam. I'll explain why I think so: Firstly, when they write that the whales have dumped a large amount, so the price has fallen. It's good that if someone dumped it, then someone bought it, this is the first scam Secondly, why if Bitcoin rises, then other alts do not rise at all, and if Bitcoin falls, then all the others are released, what's the joke, I understand. It seems to me that here or the exchange agrees among themselves that let's make a scam again And thirdly: Bitcoin has reached its maximum, why have other alts not reached their maximum yet. In my opinion, the exchanges themselves do not want people to buy Ethereum, Tron, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic Ava and so on. I think you should only take bitcoin and that's it because only bitcoin is a stable currency and everything else is complete crap. Basically, that's what I did, I transferred all my funds to bitcoin. I held other currencies for 3 months but there was no benefit. Everyone, take bitcoin and no other assets, that's my advice to you
