#CPIWatch CPI Report Is Out — What It Means for Crypto Traders
June’s US CPI came in hotter than expected at +0.3% MoM (2.7% YoY), with core inflation at 3.0% largely driven by Trump's tariff related costs in goods like appliances and furniture
What This Means for Crypto Traders:
Higher CPI usually means Fed holds off rate cuts → Dollar strengthens, crypto dips
Volatility spikes once charts reset → Watch for liquidations & quick swings
Dollar strength isn’t necessarily bearish for BTC long-term, but expect short-term pain
Smart Trade Tips Today:
1. Don’t hold positions through the CPI release without stops
2. Watch BTC vs DXY — that correlation often signals next move
3. Wait for a clean setup post-news, not during the chaos
Stay alert — these CPI moments are like macro earthquakes.
But if you plan your trades based on structure, not emotion, you can use the tremors to your advantage.
