๐จ CPI drops TODAY at 8:30 AM ET โ this number can make or break the entire market.
Previous: 3.5%
Forecast: 3.4%
Here's the playbook:
ABOVE 3.4%: Rate cut dreams die. Longs get wrecked. Risk-off across the board.
BELOW 3.4%: Liquidity floods back in. Shorts get hunted. Rally mode unlocks.
EXACTLY 3.4%: Maximum chop. Both sides bleed in a range-bound mess.
One data point decides the next month of price action. Don't marry a position โ trade the reaction, not the prediction. Stay sharp.
