Today's CPI print came in hot, surprising the market and throwing a grenade into the "rate cut" narrative.
This is not just a number. It is a direct threat to risk assets.
Strategic Debriefing (The Chain Reaction):
* Sticky Inflation Confirmed: The 2.7% print proves inflation is not falling as fast as the market hoped.
* Rate Cuts Delayed: With high inflation, the Federal Reserve has ZERO incentive to cut interest rates soon. The cheap money party is postponed.
* Risk Assets Punished: This environment is bearish for assets like $BTC and $ETH . Expect significant volatility and potential downside as the New York session opens and digests this intel.
The market was priced for perfection. It just got a dose of reality.
This is a time for extreme caution. A major shakeout could be imminent. Protect your capital, tighten your stop-losses, and do not try to catch a falling knife.
We are monitoring key support levels for a potential strategic entry after the chaos subsides.
Follow for the debriefing.
