CPI Day isn’t about predicting the number - it’s about playing the reaction like a pro
Key game plan:
• CPI drops 8:30am EST - pre-release moves can be traps
• Day before? Could be dead quiet… or pure “seek & destroy.”
• On CPI morning, skip premarket setups.
• After release, give it 15–60 mins before touching a chart.
• If price consolidates into CPI, expect a fake-out first, real move after
You don’t win by guessing the print - you win by waiting for the market to show its hand
