CPI printed hot this morning: 3.7% YoY against a 3.6% forecast, core at 2.6% versus 2.5% expected. BTC was sitting near $83.8K going into the release and dropped about $1K within minutes, down to roughly $82.8K.
What's notable is what didn't happen. Open interest is already down roughly 31% from last week's peak after the flash-crash deleveraging purged a lot of leveraged length. That means this CPI-driven dip is mostly spot sellers repricing for a hotter inflation path, not longs getting force-liquidated into a cascade. Fewer leveraged positions sitting exposed going into a macro print usually means a cleaner, less violent reaction.
The open question for anyone trading around data prints: does a thinner, deleveraged market make macro moves easier to read and trade, or does it just mean less liquidity to absorb the next shock?
