Focus: Core CPI m/m (most important)

Forecast vs Previous:

Core CPI m/m: 0.3% 📈 (prev 0.2%)

CPI m/m: 0.2% 📉 (prev 0.3%)

CPI y/y: 2.8% 📈 (prev 2.7%)

💡 What It Means:

Hot Print 🔥 (Core > 0.3% or Y/Y > 2.8%) → Fed may delay rate cuts → USD ↑, yields ↑ → BTC & alts could drop.

Cool Print ❄️ (Core < 0.3% & Y/Y ≤ 2.8%) → Rate cuts more likely → USD ↓, yields ↓ → Crypto rally likely.

In Line 📊 → Smaller move, but watch for volatility spikes & stop hunts.

📌 Trader Tips:

✅ Expect instant volatility → reduce leverage or hedge

✅ BTC levels: key breakout or rejection zones in play

⚠️ One number can shake the market — stay sharp!
