US CPI hits today (Headline expected at +0.6% MoM / 3.6% YoY, Core at +0.2% MoM / 2.5% YoY).
Energy prices are driving the headline number, but crypto markets will react heavily to Core CPI and its impact on the US Dollar and Fed interest rate expectations.
📊 BTC & ETH Scenarios to Watch:
• 🟢 Cooler Core CPI (< 0.2%): Dumps the US Dollar index (DXY) ➔ Signals potential Fed rate pause ➔ Bullish relief rally for BTC & ETH. Watch for BTC to test overhead resistance and ETH to lead on beta momentum.
• 🔴 Hotter Core CPI (> 0.2%): Spikes Treasury yields & DXY ➔ Heightens hawkish Fed expectations ➔ Short-term liquidity sweep/pullback across BTC & ETH. Look for reaction at key demand zones.
💡 Key Takeaway: Expect sharp volatility and fakeouts in both directions right at the release (8:30 ET). Manage your leverage carefully and wait for the initial candle body to close before taking breakout setups.
