📊 U.S. CPI: What pressures lie ahead for financial markets? The latest U.S. CPI data came in higher than expected: Core CPI rose 0.3% month over month, versus a forecast of 0.2%; annual CPI reached 3.7%, above the expected 3.6%. Persistent inflation could make the Fed more cautious about cutting interest rates. 🟡 Gold: $XAUT Could come under downward pressure if the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields rise. 📉 Stocks: Could face a correction as expectations of prolonged high interest rates reduce the appeal of riskier assets. ₿ Crypto: $BTC and $ETH could face short-term selling pressure amid risk aversion, but the reaction will also depend on movements in the U.S. dollar and interest rate expectations. Note: Monthly CPI came in exactly in line with the 0.6% forecast, so the market reaction could be more nuanced than the headline suggesting inflation was higher than expected. #tinfed #CPI

$BTC Bitcoin just attempted to retest the 84k area, but selling pressure there remains very strong. The price was pushed down immediately. It may continue moving sideways between 82k and 84k for quite a while.
📊 **BTC ahead of U.S. CPI: Big moves may be coming!**
On the M15 chart, BTC surged after a deep wick down, but is now seeing a pullback. RSI has fallen to around 51, suggesting short-term bullish momentum is fading.
🎯 **Two scenarios to watch:** 🟢 CPI below expectations: BTC could continue its recovery if it breaks above the nearest resistance zone. 🔴 CPI above expectations: Selling pressure could return, especially if BTC loses its short-term support zone.
ETH is also likely to be affected by the crypto market’s overall reaction.
⚠️ With volatility expected around the CPI release, I’d rather wait for price confirmation than FOMO into the first candle.
**Which scenario are you leaning toward: BTC breaking out or pulling back?**
