$ETH US CPI DATA WILL BE RELEASED

TODAY AT 8:30 AM ET.

EXPECTATIONS: 2.6%

HOW IT'S AFFECT THE MARKET:

LOWER-THAN-EXPECTED CPI:

If CPI data shows inflation is lower than anticipated, it can signal that central banks, like the U.S. Federal Reserve, might ease monetary tightening (e.g., pause rate hikes or even cut rates). This typically boosts risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, because lower interest rates make borrowing cheaper and reduce the appeal of safe-haven assets like bonds. Investors may pour money into Bitcoin and altcoins, expecting a "risk-on" environment. For example, a softer CPI could weaken the U.S. dollar, further supporting crypto prices since many cryptocurrencies are priced against it.
